Interesting fact

The 1988 Gold Panda coin has a unique feature - it has a frosted proof finish, which gives it a distinctive look that sets it apart from other coins. This finish was achieved through a special minting process that involves applying a chemical treatment to the die to create a textured, frosted effect on the coin's surface. This process was first introduced by the People's Bank of China in 1984, and it has since become a hallmark of the Panda coin series. The frosted proof finish not only adds aesthetic appeal to the coin but also makes it more difficult to counterfeit.
