About the 2006 Panda Design
Since its introduction in 1982, the Chinese Panda has become one of the world’s most recognised bullion coin series thanks to its annually changing panda artwork.
The 2006 edition features a peaceful image of a mother panda sitting beside her cub while eating bamboo, a design admired for its detail and natural appearance. The obverse displays Beijing’s Temple of Heaven, a feature that appears on every Chinese Panda gold coin.
The combination of annually changing artwork, limited survival rates in high grades and worldwide demand has helped establish the Chinese Panda as one of the premier modern bullion coin series.
