Chinese Panda 25th Anniversary

[DC Dawg]

The People’s Bank of China announced that they will issue a set of commemorative Panda bullion coins in gold and silver to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of issuing the Panda bullion coins. The coins will feature the different reverse designs of the Panda silver and gold coins for the last 25 years. The obverse of the coin will feature the Hall of Praying for Good Harvest of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, the title of the People’s Republic of China, year 2007, the Chinese characters that will translate to “Chinese Panda Gold (or Silver) Coin Commemorating its 25th Anniversary.”

 

For more information and links to the coins, the posting on my blog (shameless plug ).

This would be a quick and easy way for new comers to the panda bullion to complete the design series. I think though that 1/25 oz gold is way too small.

Thanks, Scott. I'm going to buy a set tomorrow from Panda America. Got their email today. I agree that the coins are too small but it is still a cool set.

Production numbers are good ... I suspect I will turn it over in a few years as I do not collect these but and speculating

If the gold had a mintage of 5K or less then I probably would have bought a set. But, as it is, 18K is alot, IMO.

Want a super low mintage set of Pandas? Check out the Platinum 1 ouncers. Issued from 1987 through 1990 with the highest mintage of 3,000 for 1989. Then add on the only 1 ouncer platinum 1987 coin show Panda. You can check them out here.

This is interesting. Thanks. But, historically, it seems that platinum coinage never has stirred much collector's interest. The US "W" releases in December was an exception to the rule and kind of followed on the coatails of the gold and silver releases, IMO.

I'm just glad I got my 1 ounce Platinum Panda series completed before Platinum went past the 500/ounce spot.
