**Coin Design:** The 2009 Panda coin features a design showcasing two pandas, clearly inspired by the physical characteristics of the giant pandas "Tuan Tuan" and "Yuan Yuan" gifted to Taiwan. In the midst of a lush bamboo forest, the two lovable pandas sit leisurely together, with one happily munching on fresh green bamboo. Their lifelike and vivid forms exude a sense of charm and innocence, resembling a pair of inseparable and harmonious companions that instantly captivate the viewer.
