History of The China Gold Coin
China Gold Coin Incorporation is a fairly young mint: it has operated since 1987. Even so, investors know it well as a maker of attractive bullion products. From the start it has been tied to the People's Bank of China.
The company is based in Shenzhen, and its main business is commemorative and bullion coins. It makes coins in gold, silver, palladium and platinum. Its best-known product is the Chinese Panda, which gets a new design every year. The panda is no accident: it is a national symbol of China and a vulnerable species, so the coin also draws attention to its protection.
