Obverse
On the obverse side of the 1998 1/2 oz Gold Panda Coin, youll find the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests. This structure is located in the Temple of Heaven in Beijing and has been the standard design for Gold Panda obverses since the beginning. The image highlights the buildings outer architecture.
Reverse
For the reverse of this 1998 Gold Panda release, the featured artwork shows a Giant Panda sitting on a rocky ledge with bamboo nearby. One of the pandas paws holds a bamboo branch. Though pandas are considered part of the carnivore group, their diet is nearly all bamboo, which makes them a dietary outlier in that classification.
History
Pandas may also occasionally eat other plant-based foods, small animals, or eggs. However, their digestive systems only extract a small amount of nutrition from bamboo. Because of this, pandas tend to have lower energy and slower breeding compared to other bear species.
