Many of these coins are missing today owing to the melting pot over the years. Additionally, NGC graded this Gold Panda as PF 68 Deep Cameo. Diversify today with this striking 1988 12 oz Chinese Proof Gold Panda 1000 Yuan PCGS PF 68 DCAM.

The Chinese Gold Panda coins first came to fruition in 1982 in sizes including 1 troy oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz. The following year, the China Mint released the 1/20 oz Gold Panda coin in addition to the first Silver Panda coin. These coins are internationally collected owing to the fact that every year the Panda coins spotlight a new reverse design of the beloved pandas. The Panda coins can be difficult to collect because they have seen so many variations through the years, and even stopped being sized in ounces in 2016. The 12 oz Gold Panda has only been struck in the years 1986-88 and 1990-1995. However, this challenge can make collecting the Gold Panda coins even more satisfying! The coin was designed by Yu Min, who is the designer of more Panda coins than any other coin designer. He is best known for creating the illustration for the first Silver Panda coin from 1983.

The obverse features the Hall of Prayers in the Temple of Heaven along with the year of mintage.

The reverse displays two adorable pandas in a tree. Inscriptions include weight, denomination, and purity.
