Interesting fact

The 1999 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 gives it a striking appearance. This feature, combined with the coin's high gold content and limited mintage, makes it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists and coin enthusiasts.
