Each 2003 1 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coin in this collection is individually sealed in plastic. The 2003 release is distinctive for two reasons. Notably, it reintroduced the tradition of featuring a new Giant Panda design on the reverse, a practice followed from 1982 to 2001. Additionally, it was the third release with a revised face value. The face value increased from 100 Yuan to 500 Yuan in 2001 after maintaining the former from 1981 to 2000.

The obverse design of the 2003 1 oz Gold Panda Coins showcases the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests, a central structure in the Temple of Heaven Complex in Beijing, constructed in the early 15th century.

On the reverse side, you’ll find the iconic Giant Panda, native to the central highlands of China, easily recognizable by its distinctive black-and-white fur patches. The Giant Panda has been a consistent design feature on these coins since the series began in 1982.
