The Chinese Gold Panda Series has been a favorite among collectors and investors since it first debuted in 1982. Early on, the series followed Troy ounce-based weights with lower face values compared to those issued after 2001. The initial release featured 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz gold coins, with the 1/20 oz size introduced in 1983. Today, BullionMax is offering the 1987-Y 1/20 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coins for purchase online.

Each 1987-Y 1/20 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coin is securely packaged in a sealed plastic pouch to maintain its condition. The presence of the Y mint mark indicates that it was struck at the Shenyang Mint. While 1987 marked the sixth overall issue in the Gold Panda Series, the 1/20 oz option had only been available for five years, having been introduced in 1983.

Giant Pandas primarily inhabit China’s central mountainous regions, typically at elevations between 5,000 and 10,000 feet. These areas feature a mix of broadleaf and conifer forests with dense bamboo undergrowth, providing an ideal environment for pandas with a cool, humid climate, thick vegetation, and an abundance of fresh water from mountain streams.

On the obverse of the 1987-Y Chinese Gold Panda, the design features the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests. This structure, part of the Temple of Heaven complex in Beijing, has remained a key element of the Gold Panda Series since its inception in 1982.

The reverse of the 1987-Y 1/20 oz Gold Panda Coin showcases a peaceful depiction of a giant panda drinking from a pond. The design captures the panda leaning down toward the water, with ripples forming as it drinks. Bamboo stalks in the background further highlight the species’ natural habitat.
