Description
Why purchase this pristine First Strike 2012 China 1/10 oz. Gold Panda bullion coin?
The Gold Panda series has been an annual product of the China Mint since 1982. The series is known for its enchanting designs dedicated to the Chinese native Giant Panda. With the exception of the 2002 release, which repeated the previous year’s imagery, every release of the series has featured a newly designed single year of issue panda rendition. Although they are struck in multiple China Mint branches, Gold Panda coins very rarely display a Mint mark.
- This 2012 Chinese Panda coin is struck from 1/10 Troy oz. of .999 fine gold.
- The 50 Yuan face value legal tender coin of China features a diameter measurement of 18 mm.
- The coin qualified for the collectible First Strike attribution.
- The perfectly graded coin includes an attractive China flag-style label.
- The bullion coin is part of an 800,000 piece mintage.

Reverse: The delightful image of a mother panda watching over her cub adorns the reverse, with an exquisitely rendered bamboo wall in the background. Inscriptions include “50 Yuan” on the wall and “1/10 OZ AU .999” on the bamboo leaf-patterned field below.
