One-ounce, half-ounce, quarter-ounce, and tenth-ounce denominations were struck with the obverse featuring the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests. The building is the largest of the three making up the Temple of Heaven that resides in the eastern district of Beijing, China. Known for being the annual site of royal ceremonies to assure a good harvest for the people, the round building has three roofs and sits atop three marble plinths (or podiums) with a main stairway in the center and two stairways off to the sides leading to the hall. The reverse design of the gold coins feature a giant panda. While the panda on the reverse changes every year, the design always features the native animal in a number of different ways. Pandas are found wild in China exclusively as the large bear is known to have a diet consisting of bamboo stalks and leaves, something that is also found in the designs from year to year.
