The 2016 issue of Chinese Gold Panda coins marked a stunning change in the coins from this gold bullion series. Going forward, Gold Panda coins will not be available with weights measured in Troy ounces anymore. The Chinese Mint and the People’s Bank of China authorized a shift in the weights to Grams, bringing the coins in line with the nation’s use of the metric system.
All of the same Chinese Gold Panda coin weights are still available, with slight changes in the total fine weight. These 1 Gram coins replace the previously issued 1/20 oz Chinese Gold Panda, now featuring a 10 Yuan face value compared to the 1/20 oz coins 20 Yuan face value.
The obverse of the 2017 1 Gram Chinese Gold Panda Coin features the latest Panda design on the series’ obverse face. Known as the Giant Panda, these majestic creatures are endemic to south-central China’s highlands, and are considered by many to be an unofficial emblem of the nation.
On the reverse of the Chinese Gold Panda is the outer facade of the Temple of Heaven. Located in south-central Beijing, this former religious site has appeared on the reverse of these coins since their first bullion issue in 1982.
All Chinese Gold Panda coins are produced by the Chinese Mint, which uses multiple facilities to product coinage for the nation under the guidance of the People’s Bank of China.
