Hmmmmmm... brain twister, nice one silverstar! There's a lot of guys calling this the reverse side... it does get confusing! My guess is it's the reflection in a glass bottle of the obverse of an '06 Beijing expo Panda, in OMP.
The only sober one in the group ,let me go get another beer from the fridge and think about it.........................
Thanks for all the Guesses everyone, 25 grizzlies is now in the lead getting close , this evening (here in the USA) or morning in Aus. I will post one final picture that will reveal almost all and the first one to say exactly what it is takes the prize!! (unless someone guesses it first)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obverse_and_reverse For Panda coins, "obverse" is panda side, "reverse" is temple side. No confusion. So, whoever said "obverse" is incorrect.
If those members are wrong who said this was the reverse of a Chinese Panda then I guess the Chinese Mint and officials from the Chinese Mint are wrong as well. Another thing is I don't see where your link to "Wikipedia" substantiates your claim and even if it would I can tell you that I would not believe everything you read in Wikipedia as I have found errors on several occasions. Obverse/Front Design The obverse side has largely remained unchanged between 1982 and 1991; however, the design illustrating the Temple of Heaven in Beijing has been enclosed within an inner circle since 1992. The inscription references "People's Republic of China" (in Chinese) and the year in which the coin was minted below the Temple. The Temple of Heaven ("TianTan") is in a large park in Beijing which measures approximately 273 hectares. The most important building is the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests (which can be seen on the coin), which dates back to 1420 during the Ming dynasty. Chinese Emperors were accustomed to come to TianTan each year in early spring to pray for abundant harvests and national prosperity. Reverse/Back Design The reverse side of the Chinese Panda gold coin is unique in that aside from always featuring a giant panda bear(s), the portrait of the panda changes every year. This was an exception in 2001 & 2002 when it was the same for both years. Between 1982 and 1986, Gold Panda obverse and reverse designs were developed by CBPM (China Mint Company). Since 1987, China Gold Coin Incorporation has been responsible for all designs. Displayed nears the pandas head is the face value of the coin. Below the panda is the coins gold weight and gold content. I guess it's time for you to run over to CCF and post the question !

I am limiting it to stacker members who have already posted to this thread , it is only fair since you provided all the clues. So go get a drink of your favorite and have a go.....
