When China legalized private gold ownership for the first time since 1949, it created an incredible buzz around China’s annual gold coin release. China has issued gold Pandas since 1982, and with their one-year-only designs, limited mintages and 24-karat gold purity, they have become among the world’s most sought-after gold bullion coins. Until 2004, ownership of gold Pandas was banned in China; however, the opening of this market has dramatically increased demand for past issues like this 5-piece collection from 1988. Ranging from a 1/20th-ounce coin to the 1-ounce Proof, each coin bears the same engaging Panda design. Each set comes in its original presentation case with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity from the China Mint. With a intage of only 10,000, the 1988 edition was a quick sell-out. This is your chance to own the 1988 Gold Panda Proof Set before China’s pent-up demand affects the price.
