The design of the Chinese Gold Panda Coin serves as a proud tribute to the rich heritage and culture of China. Prominently featured on the obverse of the coin will be another stunning rendition of the Giant Panda in its native habitat. Previous designs have included a panda eating bamboo, a mother panda holding its cub and up close images of the panda's face. Such artwork has made this a favorite collectible among wildlife enthusiast due to the realistic details, like the texture of its fur or its black and white color scheme. It should be noted, however, that beginning in 2015, panda coins will no longer display the coin's weight, fineness or purity on its obverse. This omission is part of the mint's unit transition from ounces to grams.

Equally as impressive as the rendition of China's iconic creature is the depiction of the Temple of Heaven on the reverse side of the coin. This celebrated monument has been intricately rendered by resident artists so as capture each architectural element from the temple's staircase to its triple tiered gable. Also engraved on the reverse side is the coin's mintage year and the name "Zhonghua Renmin Gongheguo," which means "People's Republic of China" in Chinese.
