The Panda series launched in 1982, and the People's Bank of China used this 35th anniversary issue to reintroduce a fixed-weight system — abandoning the face value denomination structure that had governed the series since its inception in favor of gram-denominated labeling. The 80 yuan face value on this piece is therefore a relic of the transitional moment: it was among the last annual Panda coins assigned a yuan denomination before the reform took full effect.
