| Reverse description | A finely detailed depiction of a giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) rendered in high relief, shown in a three-quarter frontal portrait with its characteristic black-and-white markings clearly defined. Bamboo stalks and leaves appear in the left background, lending a naturalistic setting to the composition. The inscription 3g Au .999 is placed in the upper field, denoting the coin's gold content and fineness. The denomination 50元 appears in the lower right field in stylized numerals and Chinese characters. A plain raised rim frames the design. |

| Additional information |
China's Panda gold series abandoned its fixed-weight, variable-face-value structure in 2016, switching to metric weights with face values that bear no practical relation to bullion price. The 3g coin replaced the former 1/10 troy oz piece as part of that metrication, a change that drew considerable grumbling from long-term collectors who had built sets around the old sizing. Pandas struck from 2016 onward are also the first in the series to carry the new standardized reverse — unchanged year to year — while only the panda imagery rotates annually.
