What design does the China Panda 2027 show?
The reverse of the 2027 issue shows two pandas cuddling up together, plus the face value, weight and purity. The obverse features the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, the name of the People's Republic of China and the year. According to the People's Bank of China, all 2027 Panda gold and silver coins bear this design.
The Temple of Heaven on the obverse is the recurring core motif of the series. The panda design on the reverse differs on earlier issues, so you will find each design on the individual product page. The 2027 design is identical on all five gold sizes and on the 30g China Panda Silver Coin 2027.
