Interesting fact

The 1997 WWF Panda coin from the People's Republic of China is a unique and interesting collector's item. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it features a rare misprint. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a panda, while the reverse side features the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. However, some coins were accidentally minted with the panda image on both sides, creating a highly sought-after error coin. This mistake has increased the coin's value and rarity, making it a prized addition to any coin collection.
