The 8GM Panda is one of a series of gold bullion coins minted by the People’s Republic of China, which were introduced in the early 1980’s, a boom time for global gold bullion production. The 8 gram Panda is one of the later weights, following the 1 oz, 1/2 oz and 1/10 oz variations. T
The designs of the Chinese Panda are changed yearly, with the exception of the years 2001 and 2002, making it one of the most collectable set of gold bullion coins on the global market. Of the world’s most renowned bullion coins, only the Australian Nugget also changes its design yearly. The coin’s obverse remains the same from the coin’s first design in 1982, the Temple of Heaven with the words “People’s Republic of China” written in Chinese underneath alongside the coin’s release date. On the coin’s obverse, the coin depicts the giant panda, who’s design is changed yearly. Such was the popularity of the yearly change that when the coin remained unchanged in 2002, the feedback was unequivocal in its condemnation.
