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 involved applying a chemical treatment to the dies to create a textured, frosted effect on the coin's surface. This process was only used for a limited time and has since been discontinued, making the 1988 Gold Panda coin a rare and sought-after collector's item.
