The Panda series, continuously issued since 1982 by the esteemed China Mint, is highly regarded by investors worldwide. The obverse of each coin features Beijing’s Temple of Heaven (Tiāntān) – a symbol of China’s imperial heritage – framed by “中华人民共和国” (People’s Republic of China), the year “2001,” and the denomination. The pristine mirror finish underscores gold purity.

The reverse of all coins presents the same hand-colored panda design among bamboo branches: black fur, subtly highlighted white patches, green bamboo leaves, and a gold field patterned like bamboo fibers. The consistent motif across denominations enhances artistic unity and collectible appeal.

Coins are housed in protective capsules, placed in a lacquered presentation case decorated with bamboo branches and the Chinese characters “贰仟壹” (“2001”). A numbered certificate of authenticity confirms legal tender status and gold fineness. With a strict mintage of 1,000 sets, this collection is a standout investment and prestigious gift for collectors.
