The denomination 100元 appears prominently to the lower right of the panda in large characters. The weight and fineness inscription 8g Au .999 is engraved along the lower rim, serving as a hallmark of the coin's gold content and purity. |

| Additional information |
The 2016 Panda gold series marked a significant administrative shift: beginning that year, the Chinese Mint abandoned the fixed-weight troy ounce system in favor of metric gram weights, aligning the program with Chinese domestic standards. The 8g coin replaced the previous 1/4 oz (7.78g) issue — a change that briefly disrupted secondary markets and forced third-party grading services to update their population report categories mid-cycle.
