The Chinese Panda bullion series is known for its careful minting and the fresh panda artwork that changes every year. First minted in gold in 1982 and silver in 1983, the program highlights China’s beloved Giant Panda with a new scene on each release. The obverse keeps a consistent image of the Temple of Heaven, while the reverse design changes annually. Right now, 2026 1 Gram Chinese Gold Panda Coins are available at BullionMax.

Each 2026 1 Gram Chinese Gold Panda Coin is offered in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and ships in a protective plastic pouch. This is the smallest weight in the lineup and, before the metric change in 2016, this option was issued as a 1/20 oz gold coin.
The 2026 artwork focuses on a simple, tender moment that reflects the bonds vital to the species’ survival—whether a short-lived pairing of adults during mating season or the close tie between a mother and her cub. These connections, along with the pandas’ forest habitat in central China, are quietly captured in the scene.
On the obverse of the 2026 Chinese Gold Panda, you’ll find the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests within Beijing’s Temple of Heaven complex. Built in the early 15th century during the reign of the Yongle Emperor, the structure showcases traditional Chinese architecture with precise symmetry and detailed wooden construction meant to convey harmony and balance.
The reverse of the 2026 1 Gram Gold Panda shows two Giant Pandas sitting together. One panda tilts its head toward the other, creating a gentle interaction. Around them, you can spot carved stone, stalks of bamboo, and a still pond that adds calm to the setting.
