In addition to gold pandas as purely bullion coins, China also issues them in complete proof sets containing all five sizes, one ounce, half ounce, quarter ounce, tenth ounce, and twentieth ounce. We only get proof panda sets into stock very occasionally, but they are usually at very favourable prices. We note that in December 2004, the British royal Mint were offering the 2004 set at £1,245 each, although this did include a silver medallion!
Most gold proof panda sets are packaged in a wooden box with Chinese lacquerwork, and this in turn is inside a cardboard box. The box colour varies from year to year, and in some years the cardboard box is silk covered. Each set is complete with a certificate, but in some years the certificate is in Chinese only.
