2023 China 150-gm Gold Panda NGC PF70UC First Day of Issue w/Shenzhen Mint Identification, Panda Label & Tong Signature

China’s 2023 Gold Panda Proofs Are Here!

Beloved for its precious metal content and intricate designs that change each year, the Chinese Gold Panda bullion series remains one of the world’s most celebrated coin programs. First released in 1982 and building in popularity every year since, the China Mint’s Gold Panda series is now among the most popular on the planet.

One-Year-Only Design Is Fifth Year Of “Series Within A Series”

Beautifully struck in 150 grams of 99.9% pure gold, this coin features a new design created by Chinese coin designer Tong Fang, a China Mint designer who has created many one-year-only designs for China’s Panda Series. Ms. Fang’s design for the 2023 Panda coin features a pair of playful young Panda bears—twins perhaps?—playing in a tree. They’re shown facing each other, one in the tree and one below, extending their paws as if one is offering the other a “hand” up in the tree. A special addition to this year’s 150-gram coin is the addition of selective colorization that can be seen in the leaves of the tree. This is the fifth year of the China Mint’s 10-year “series within a series” where collectors get to watch a Panda grow from a cub to adulthood. The obverse displays the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests located in Beijing’s Temple of Heaven. It is encircled by the phrase “People’s Republic of China” in Chinese along with the 2023 year date.

Flawless Proof Condition!

This remarkable—and large—gold coin is even more spectacular due to its Proof finish. It was expertly crafted by the skillful artisans at the China Mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields! Magnificent only begins to describe this breathtaking treasure that measures more than two inches in diameter! In fact, each 2023 Gold Panda available in this offer has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) as being in flawless Proof-70 Ultra Cameo (PF70UC) condition, a distinction that means your perfectly-graded proof will have ZERO imperfections—showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended.

Gold Pandas From Among The First Issued Signed By The Coin’s Designer!

In addition, NGC has also certified that these proofs are First Day of Issue (FDI) coins, a designation that means they were received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository by the release date or on the business day within 24 hours of the official release date. Plus, each will come sonically sealed in an acrylic holder with a mint-identifying label that shows it was struck at the China Mint’s Shenzhen facility. To top it off, the mint identification labels feature a Panda design and have been personally signed by the coin’s designer, Tong Fang! Each coin in this offer will also come beautifully housed in a deluxe wooden presentation case and accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity from the mint and a panda coin storybook.

Since 2016, China’s legendary Gold Pandas have been issued in metric weights, setting themselves apart from other gold coins minted around the world. In addition, simply acquiring one of these coins can be extremely difficult due to the fact that demand for them within China’s borders has skyrocketed, making them harder to find outside of the country.

No matter what your reasons are for collecting these fabulous coins, now is the time to bring a 2023 China Gold Panda home to your collection!
