Obverse

On the obverse of Chinese Panda 1/2 oz Gold Coins is an image of the Temple of Heaven Complex. Specifically, this design features the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests. This design has featured on the coins every year since 1982.

Reverse

The reverse side of the Chinese Panda Gold Coin comes with an image of the Giant Panda. The Chinese Mint features the Giant Panda on this side of the coin every year, but offers a new design of the panda for each date mark. The only matching dates are 2001 and 2002, with the 2002 coin repeating the design from the previous year.

History

In 2016, the Chinese Mint shifted away from Troy oz in this series and marked the coins in Grams instead. The 1/2 oz gold coin became the 15 Gram gold coin, offering a matching diameter and thickness, but with a slightly lower weight in Troy oz than the previous 1/2 oz coin.
