Interesting fact

The 1987 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 die to create a textured, frosted effect on the coin's surface. This process adds an extra layer of detail and visual interest to the coin, making it a sought-after collector's item.
