Add an earlier-date fractional Panda to your gold collection with the 2008 1/10 oz Chinese Gold Panda 50 Yuan .999 Fine BU (Sealed). Issued by the People’s Republic of China, this Brilliant Uncirculated coin contains 1/10 troy oz of .999 fine gold and carries a face value of 50 Yuan. Most notably, this example remains sealed in its original Mint-issued plastic, offering collectors an appealing combination of original presentation, fractional gold content, and the popular annually changing artwork of the Chinese Gold Panda series.

First introduced in 1982, the Chinese Gold Panda has developed into one of the most recognizable modern precious metal coin programs. A defining feature of the series is its tradition of featuring different panda artwork from year to year, giving individual dates their own visual identity and encouraging date-set collecting.

The 2008 issue belongs to the earlier troy-ounce era of the series, before China transitioned the Panda program to metric gram weights in 2016. With its compact 1/10 oz size, this coin provides a convenient way to own both physical gold and a specific dated release from the long-running Panda series.
