The Chinese Panda gold coins from the Chinese Mint made a landmark move in 2016. After 33 years of availability with five weights measured in Troy ounces, the series shifted to using Grams as the weight of measurement and mark for the gold and silver coins in the collection. Right now, you can buy 2016 Proof Chinese Panda 50 Gram Gold Coins online at Provident Metals.
