| Reverse description | A giant panda is depicted in a naturalistic pose, leaning forward on rocky ground with bamboo stalks and foliage filling the background field in high relief. The denomination 1500元 is inscribed prominently in the lower central field, with the specifications 100g Au.999 appearing in the exergue below, indicating the coin's weight and gold fineness. The overall design conveys a sense of depth and texture through contrast between the frosted panda motif and the mirror-polished background. |

| Additional information |
China's gold Panda series abandoned its long-running fixed-weight system in 2016, switching from troy ounce-based denominations to metric weights — making this 100g piece one of the first issued under the new standard. The change was partly administrative, aligning the series with domestic market conventions, but it also reset the reference numbering and created a clean break in type collecting that dealers and registry sets are still sorting out.
