| Additional information |
The Chinese Gold Panda series abandoned its fixed-weight troy ounce specifications in 2016, switching to metric weights under a broader standardization push — meaning this 30g piece is not a direct continuation of the earlier 1 oz format, despite occupying the same pricing tier in the market. Each annual issue carries a new reverse design, a policy maintained since the series launched in 1982 with a single exception: 2001 and 2002 shared the same design, a break that generated lasting controversy among collectors and remains the most discussed anomaly in the series.
