1 oz China Gold Panda BU-Sealed

The 1 oz China Gold Panda is a cornerstone of international gold bullion collecting, known for its annually changing panda designs and high production quality. Struck by the China Mint, the Panda series is beloved by collectors and investors for its artistic beauty, .999 fine gold purity, and global recognition. This Brilliant Uncirculated (BU), sealed version ensures the coin remains in pristine condition, protected from environmental exposure and handling.

Historical Insight:

First issued in 1982, the Gold Panda series broke new ground with its yearly design changes—an uncommon feature among bullion coins. These changes have made the series highly collectible, with some years commanding significant premiums due to lower mintages or especially popular designs.

The Panda's unique combination of aesthetic appeal, high gold purity, and limited mintage makes it a strong addition to any investment portfolio or numismatic collection.
