Modern Chinese Varieties: 1988 Platinum 1oz 100 Yuan Panda
Posted on 9/22/2015
This month’s featured coin is the 1988 Platinum 1oz 100Y Panda. Like the Gold 1oz 100Y Dragon coins of this date, these coins were produced with a small and large date. Additionally, the central figure, the Temple of Heaven, is also different on each coin.
On the obverse of the small date coin, the temple entrance, located just above the stairs, appears with door open (three openings) (Photos 1 & 2).
