Peter Anthony: The 2007 (1995) 15 Yuan 1/25 oz. gold Panda is part of the 2007 Twenty-fifth Anniversary Set and has a mintage of 18,000. The 2007 Twenty-fifth Anniversary gold and silver coins are the largest sets of Pandas ever issued. Each coin recaps the design from one of the twenty-four prior years on one face and on the other carries an image of the Temple of Heaven plus the anniversary statement. Originally the coins were shipped in lavish boxes, Inside each box there were five rows of coins inside clear plastic strips. Each of the 15 Yuan gold coins weighs 1/25 of a troy oz. so the 25 coins add up to one ounce of gold.

The anniversary gold coins were well protected in the original plastic holders and most have graded well: PF70 or PF69. However not every remaining ungraded coin can be expected to grade so well so they should be carefully examined for marks or red spots. The red spots can typically be removed by NCS.

The 2007 (1995) 15 Yuan gold Panda is part of the “Gold 15Y China Panda 2007 Anniversary Set” NGC Registry set.
