15 Yuan 25th Anniversary of Panda Coinage

The Chinese Panda series launched in 1982, making 2007 its 25th anniversary. Unlike the standard annual issues, this commemorative denomination — 15 yuan at roughly a tenth of an ounce — was issued specifically for the milestone rather than as part of the regular bullion program. The series itself was notable for changing its reverse design every year, a deliberate policy that drove collector demand from the outset and distinguished it from contemporaries like the Krugerrand or Maple Leaf.

KM#1763 is among the smaller commemorative gold pieces China produced for this anniversary, part of a multi-coin set marking the occasion.
