2000 5 Yuan 1/20 oz Gold Panda Coin - Small Date [BU]

The 2000 5 Yuan 1/20 oz. Mirrored gold Panda is a key coin in the Panda series. This year is one of the most sought-after in the Panda set and every denomination sells for a significant premium. Like the 1998 and 1999 Pandas the 2000 was caught in the wake of the Asian financial crisis. Demand for gold Pandas plummeted and many are reported to have been melted. In addition there were cross-currents unique to this year as many coins were bought by non-collectors as keepsakes of the turn of the millennium.
