15 Yuan 25th Anniversary of Panda Coinage

China's Panda gold series launched in 1982, and by the time this 25th-anniversary issue appeared, it had become one of the most actively collected modern bullion programs globally. The series is notable for changing its reverse design annually — a deliberate policy that drives collector demand but creates significant cataloging complexity across the series.

The 1/10 troy ounce denomination was the smallest in the original 1982 lineup; this 1.24g piece sits well below that, part of a later expansion into fractional sizes introduced to broaden accessibility.
