This 8g 2017 Panda coin has a face value of 200 Yuan and would make a fine investment. It is part of the Gold Panda Coin collection that has been issued by the Peoples Republic of China since 1982. Every year sees the Chinese mint issue a new design, and 2017 is no different. This means that collectors will be flocking to purchase the year's latest designs, and you can do the same.
If you miss out on a year, purchasing past issues of Panda Gold Coins can be an expensive undertaking. Incomplete collections are far less valuable, so it makes sense to buy 2017's issue as soon as it is released. Stocks are always limited, as the Chinese mint seeks to ration the amount of gold used and the supply of their coins to maintain their value. This makes it essential to snap them up as soon as they are released.
This year's design features a panda (as usual), who is seated facing forwards with a shoot of bamboo in his hands. The fur of the panda is rendered in typically fine detail, while the reverse is emblazoned with the logo of the Chinese mint.
