Interesting fact

The 1997 Chinese 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 is achieved through a special minting process that involves applying a chemical treatment to the coin's surface, resulting in a textured, matte finish that accentuates the coin's details and design. This finish is particularly desirable among collectors, making the 1997 Gold Panda coin a highly sought-after collectible item.
