| Reverse description | Central design features two giant panda cubs (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) seated together in a playful, affectionate pose amid a naturalistic bamboo grove, rendered in exquisite frosted high relief against a mirror-polished field. The black portions of the pandas' fur are accentuated with iridescent holographic treatment, imparting a multicoloured prismatic effect to the shoulders, limbs, and ears of both animals. Bamboo stalks and foliage frame the composition on both sides, with a rocky ground plane beneath the figures. The legend 100g Au.999 appears in Latin characters along the upper arc of the inner field, denoting weight and fineness, while the denomination 1500元 is inscribed in bold numerals and Chinese characters along the lower arc. |

| Additional information |
The 100g gold Panda has been issued annually since 1983, but the series underwent a significant structural change in 2016 when the People's Bank of China abandoned fixed weights in favor of metric denominations — replacing the previous troy-ounce sizing that had defined the program for over three decades. That shift was partly a response to growing domestic investment demand and a deliberate move to reduce dependence on Western commodity pricing conventions.
