| Reverse description | Central device features a giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) seated on a tree branch amid stylized foliage and pine boughs, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. The denomination 15元 is inscribed at the bottom of the design in Chinese characters. The fineness and weight specification 1/25oz Au .999 appears along the upper left periphery in Latin characters, attesting to the coin's gold content. |

| Additional information |
The Panda series launched in 1982 as China's first bullion coin program aimed at international collectors, and the 25th anniversary issues of 2007 came with a notable departure from house practice: unlike the annually changing designs that define the standard series, several anniversary pieces reused imagery from earlier iconic years. The 15 Yuan denomination itself is an oddity — fractional Panda gold coinage has cycled through denominations that correspond to no conventional monetary unit in actual circulation.
