Peter Anthony: The 1999 25 Yuan 1/4 oz. gold Large Date Panda Serif 1 is a very important coin. 1999 gold Panda coins were caught in the wake of the Asian financial crisis. Demand for gold Pandas plummeted and many were melted. As a consequence mintages that year were limited and few are available for collectors today.1999 is a notable year for another reason; it is the only year in which all B.U. Pandas were struck in three different mints. There are three major varieties of the 1999 gold Pandas: Small Date, Large Date Plain 1 and Large Date Serif 1. The 1999 25 Yuan gold Large Date Serif 1 is a Shenzhen Guobao Mint coin. It is not hard to tell apart from the Small Date; the numerals are much larger. The Large Date Serif 1 also has a distinct serif, or bar, on the bottom of the numeral 1 of the date. The total mintage for all 1999 25 Yuan varieties is 18,103. It’s clear that far fewer than that exist in B.U. condition today. The Large Date Serif 1 variety is the rarest of the three varieties and possibly the rarest of all major14 oz. Panda varieties. 1999 Large Date Serif 1 Gold Panda -25 Yuan .999 AU 1/4 Ounce Fine Gold Panda -
