In 2016, the popular Chinese Panda series changed slightly to
match the metric system.
The 1/20 oz Gold Panda is
replaced with this 1 gram Gold Panda, which still contained .999 gold
fine.
During the Ming Dynasty, the panda was often thought to have medical powers. The skin could supposedly repel plague and prevent tumors.
When people think of China, they often think of the panda. The Chinese consider them a symbol of friendship and peace. The panda has an important place in Chinese culture and history. In the Xizhou Dynasty, the panda was described as an invincible animal, as strong as a tiger. As a tribute to kings and emperors, the skin of a panda was often given during that time.
While the dragon has often served as China's national symbol, internationally, the giant panda appears at least as commonly. As such, it is being widely used in China in international contexts.
The giant panda lives in a few mountain ranges in central China, mainly in Sichuan, but also in neighboring Shaanxi and Gansu. As a result of agriculture, deforestation and other developments, the giant panda has been driven from the low-lying areas where it once lived.
The giant panda, also known as the panda bear or simply panda, is a bear native to south-central China. It is easily recognized by the large, distinctive black patches around its eyes, over its ears, and over its round body. The name "giant panda" is sometimes used to distinguish it from the unrelated red panda. Although it belongs to the order Carnivora, the giant panda's diet is more than 99% bamboo. Giant pandas occasionally eat other grasses, wild tubers, or even meat in the form of birds, rodents, or carrion.
