Beginning in 2016, the Chinese Mint offered Proof Chinese Gold Panda coins in larger weights in conjunction with its transition away from Troy oz measurements to Grams for its popular Chinese Panda coins. This applied to both the silver and 7 in the collection, with numerous new weights coming to the Proof Chinese Gold Panda.
The Chinese Mint became the first major sovereign mint to switch away from Troy oz in the weight markings on its bullion coins in 2016 when it switched to Grams. The mint and government announced the move as one designed to bring the official bullion coin series into line with the nation’s use of the Metric system.
All of the 50 Gram Proof Chinese Gold Panda Coins in this product listing are available with protective packaging. Each coin has frosted designs with mirrored background fields. This is a random year listing from JM Bullion.
This means we do not guarantee the date mark and corresponding design on the coin you receive. All items are picked from our available inventory at this time, making it difficult to guarantee a particular date or design at the time of ordering. If you purchase several coins, please note you may receive coins with the same dates and designs.
On the obverse face of 50 Gram Proof Chinese Gold Panda Coins is a depiction of the exterior of the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests. This is the largest building in the Temple of Heaven Complex.
The reverse side of 50 Gram Proof Gold Panda Coins includes the image of a Giant Panda. The species has been the focus of the series since its 1982 release and has only once in the subsequent decades repeated a design. Since the 2016 shift to Grams, the series has never repeated a design. This means you could conceivably receive a variety of different designs through this listing.
