A little gold to brighten up the day!

I recently aquired my 10th gold 1oz panda, its a mini-milestone. My collection now consists of 60 different gold pandas of the possible 139 coin set. They make up 17.55 ounces of pure gold, and represent almost exactly 1/3rd by weight of the complete BU panda series. I still have a LONG way to go! Enjoy.

Cool collection bro and congrats on hitting the milestone. I like the one without the raised rim the best by far. What's the reasoning behind two of the coins being 500 Yuan and the others only 100 even though they're all 1oz AU?

In 2001 the Chinese Mint decided to update the monetary token value on their bullion. It had been 100 Yuan since 1982, and now these carry the 500 Yuan designation. It would be like if the U.S. Mint decided to raise the face value on the AGE to $250 from this point forward. It has no real consequence.


P.S.- That one with the panda coming out of the bamboo forest that you like so much is my wife's least favorite of all 28 designs! I dig it tho.

Very nice, I like the ones where the black on the panda's has detail, I can't pick a favorite tho.

This one creeps me out a little bit. He looks like he's walking upright on two legs, and is going to come up behind me and whack me with that tree branch!

Chad, that was the 1st time a panda design showed just half the panda (1995). Im not a huge fan of that design either, although its the 2nd rarest of all 28 years so far with a mintage of just 17,000 pieces.

Can't say your Gold Panda collection is "complete" without adding these
