Chinese Gold Coins
Chinese gold coins represent one of the most collected modern coin series from Asia, encompassing government-issued bullion and commemorative pieces from the People's Republic of China. The most prominent series within this category is the Chinese Gold Panda, struck by the China Mint and issued annually since 1982. Gold Pandas are legal-tender coins denominated in yuan and struck in .999 fine gold, available in a range of weights including 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/10 oz, and 1/20 oz. A defining characteristic of the series is its annually changing Panda reverse design, making each year's release a distinct collectible within an ongoing series.

About Chinese Gold Coins
Beyond the Gold Panda, Chinese gold coinage includes a wide variety of commemorative issues — lunar series coins tied to the Chinese zodiac calendar, historical and cultural themed issues, and special-edition releases from the China Mint. These commemoratives are produced in both proof and uncirculated formats, often with limited mintages, and span a broad range of denominations and gold weights. The consistent use of .999 fineness across modern Chinese gold coin production is a notable characteristic of the category as a whole.
On Lone Star Coins, buyers will find Chinese gold coins listed by multiple dealers, covering a wide range of issue years, formats, and weights. Inventory typically includes individual Panda coins in both BU and proof grades, sealed original mint packaging, NGC- and PCGS-certified examples graded across the MS and PR scales, and multi-coin sets. Lunar and commemorative issues round out the selection alongside the core Panda series, giving collectors options across budget ranges and collecting focuses.
