History of the Chinese Panda

The first giant panda was discovered on April 1, 1869 in China (Sichuan) by Armand David a French priest. Due to the first Panda bear being found in China the Chinese Mint designed bullion coins that featured the panda.

The Chinese Bullion coin was first issued in 1982 and quickly gained popularity due to its high gold content, beautiful design, and the appeal of the panda motif. The panda reverse design changes every year, which makes gold panda bullion coins popular worldwide due to their collectability.

Pandas are produced in several sizes, from 30g to 1g! In some years even larger sized coins have been issued but with very low mintages.

Troy Weights vs Metric Weights

Most major global mints issue coins in troy weights, however, the People's Bank of China have used metric weights since 2016. Demand for the Chinese Panda is not limited to the home market in China. Collectors eagerly await the release of Pandas each year and older issues are highly prized.

Since 2019, Chinese bullion coins introduced a ten-year story which began in 2019. The story can be seen presented through each new reverse design until 2028 with the common theme of love between two sibling pandas growing up.
