| Obverse description | The obverse depicts the grand ceremonial gate of Putuo Mountain (普陀山朝圣门), a celebrated Buddhist pilgrimage site, rendered in fine relief against a polished field. The traditional multi-tiered Chinese architectural gateway is shown with its characteristic curved rooflines and central arched passageway. The inscription 中华人民共和国 (People's Republic of China) appears in Chinese characters around the upper portion of the coin. The date 2000 is inscribed at the bottom of the field, with a Chinese legend identifying the gate below the architectural motif. |

The Gold Panda series, launched in 1982, changes its reverse design annually — a deliberate policy that drives collector demand and has made the series one of the most actively traded modern bullion programs worldwide. The year 2000 issue is notable as the final Panda series coin before China's mint transitioned to new weight standards aligned with metric denominations, abandoning the troy ounce fractions that had defined the program through the 1980s and 1990s.
