History of the Gold Panda

Since 2016 , the Panda is no longer been issued in the traditional ounce denominations. Instead, the China Gold Coin Incorporation opted for editions in grams, probably to meet the high demand in the Chinese domestic market. The Chinese simply do not know the weight "ounce" - grams are easier to market. Since 1982 the panda has been published with annually changing motifs. Each in a variant in gold and in silver. The panda was only embossed with the same motifs in 2001 and 2002. The 1 kilo panda coins caused a sensation, especially in the first few years.
