1998 1/2 oz Chinese Gold Panda 50 Yuan Small Date NGC UNC Details
Discover a sought-after variety from China's celebrated Gold Panda series with the 1998 1/2 oz Chinese Gold Panda 50 Yuan Small Date NGC UNC Details. Struck from 1/2 troy oz of .999 fine gold, this collectible coin features the distinctive 1998 Panda design and the scarcer Small Date variety, making it an appealing addition for collectors of Chinese gold coinage. Authenticated by Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) with an UNC Details designation, this example offers the opportunity to acquire a challenging date variety in certified form.
Produced by People's Republic of China, the 1998 half-ounce Gold Panda carries a face value of 50 Yuan and belongs to the five-denomination gold bullion series issued that year. With its limited reported production and recognizable design, the Small Date variety is particularly interesting to collectors assembling complete Panda sets or pursuing difficult issues from the 1990s.
Introduced in 1982, the Chinese Gold Panda series quickly became one of the world's most recognizable precious metals programs. Unlike many traditional bullion coins that maintain the same design each year, Chinese Gold Pandas are celebrated for their annually changing panda artwork.
One of the most notable characteristics of the 1998 issue is the existence of two date varieties: Large Date and Small Date. The Small Date variety is distinguished by its smaller year numerals on the obverse. Although Chinese Gold Pandas do not carry conventional mint marks, specialists can identify different production varieties through subtle differences in date styles and die characteristics.
