1500 Yuan Panda

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.
