The Chinese Gold Panda bullion coin series is one of the oldest in the world having been introduced in 1982.

The Chinese Gold Panda Coins were introduced by the Chinese Mint in 1982 with 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz gold. These 15 Gram coins, available as of 2016, are the counterpart to the previously issued 1/2 oz gold coin in the series. As of 1983, the series also features a 1/20 oz gold coin that has since, like the others, taken on a weight in Grams just 1 Gram. The 1 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz coins became the 30 Gram, 8 Gram, and 3 Gram coins, respectively, in 2016.
All of the 2021 15 Gram Chinese Gold Panda Coins listed here come with sealed plastic pouches. Chinese Gold Panda coins have a notable difference from their silver counterparts in that the Panda design is considered the reverse on the gold coins, but is considered the obverse design on the silver coin in the series.
On the obverse of the 2021 Chinese Gold Panda Coin is an image of the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests. This building is the central structure within the Temple of Heaven complex, one of four such religious sites in the city of Beijing. The hall itself was once visited by emperors and citizens alike to pray for the rains needed to ensure quality, bountiful harvests to feed the kingdom.
The reverse field of 2021 15 Gram Gold Pandas features an all-new design once again. This year’s version of the Giant Panda imagery depicts a panda cub with its parent. In the design, the cub is shown climbing the trunk of a tree as its parent looks on with pride and a touch of caution, offering a paw in support of its young cub as it explores its independence.
