| Reverse description | The reverse presents a naturalistic scene depicting an adult giant panda and her cub in an intimate composition, evoking themes of familial continuity; the adult panda is identified as the cub depicted on the 2019 Panda coin, now grown, symbolising the passage of time and continuation of parental love. The figures are rendered with fine detail against a naturalistic bamboo-accented background. Surrounding inscriptions in Chinese characters and Latin script denote the face value, metal weight, fineness, and denomination: 1kg Au.999 10000 元. |

| Additional information |
The kilogram Panda gold coin occupies a peculiar position in Chinese bullion policy: it exists primarily as a prestige instrument for institutional buyers and sovereign gift exchanges rather than anything approaching genuine circulation. The People's Bank has issued kilogram Pandas since the early 1980s expansion of the series, but annual mintages at this size have historically been capped in the low hundreds — precise figures for recent years are not publicly disclosed by the mint.
Each annual issue carries a revised panda design, a policy change implemented in 1983 and maintained ever since, which distinguishes the Chinese series from virtually every other national bullion program.
