Chinese Gold Panda 8g

Chinese Gold Panda 8g Coins

Issued since 1982 by the China Gold Coin Incorporation, the Chinese gold Panda is one of the very few bullion coins to change design every year, which has earned it a collector following well beyond its gold content. The Temple of Heaven features on the obverse and the giant panda on the reverse.

In 2016 the range moved from the traditional troy ounce to metric weights, and the quarter ounce coin became the 8 gram gold Panda. Quarter ounce Pandas struck before the change contain 7.78 grams of gold rather than 8 grams, so it is worth noting the year of issue when comparing prices. The full size coin 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.
