The giant panda, or Ailuropoda melanoleuca, is an iconic symbol of China. Native to the mountainous regions of central China, such as Sichuan province, pandas have a highly specialized diet centered on bamboo. Despite being classified as carnivores, they consume large amounts of bamboo daily and are recognized worldwide as symbols of wildlife conservation.

On the obverse side of each 12 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coin, you’ll see the Temple of Heaven. This sacred site has been a part of the Gold Panda coin design since the series began in 1982, representing cultural heritage and Chinese history.

The reverse of each 12 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coin features a unique depiction of the giant panda. Each year, the Chinese Mint releases a new design showcasing this charming species. Once classified as endangered, conservation efforts have helped stabilize their population, and in 2016, they were reclassified as “vulnerable.” This success highlights the importance of wildlife conservation and the cultural significance of pandas to China and the world.
