Chinese Gold Panda 15g

Chinese Gold Panda 15g Coins

The Chinese gold Panda was first issued in 1982 by the China Gold Coin Incorporation, and is one of very few bullion series to change its design every single year. The obverse carries the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, while the reverse features the giant panda in a new pose annually, giving the coins a collectable following on top of their bullion value.

In 2016 the series moved away from the traditional troy ounce and was reweighted into metric sizes, and the old half ounce coin became the 15 gram gold Panda sold here. Half ounce Pandas issued before 2016 contain 15.55 grams of gold rather than 15 grams, so it is worth checking the year of issue when comparing prices. The largest size in the modern range is the 30 gram gold Panda.

All five metric sizes are listed together on our Chinese Gold Panda page.

Like all investment grade gold, these coins are exempt from VAT, so the price you pay reflects the gold content and a small premium rather than being inflated by sales tax.
