The Chinese Panda coin series continues to be one of the most anticipated annual releases among collectors and investors. First introduced in gold in 1982 and silver in 1983, this long-running program was the first major bullion series to feature a new reverse design each year. While the Temple of Heaven always appears on the obverse, the Giant Panda artwork on the reverse changes annually, giving each issue a unique look. Right now, 2026 15 Gram Chinese Gold Panda Coins are available from BullionMax.

Coin Highlights:

• Arrives in a protective plastic pouch!
• 45th issue in the Chinese Gold Panda Series!
• Limited mintage of 200,000 coins!
• Contains 15 grams (.4822 troy oz) of .999 pure gold in BU condition.
• Bears a face value of 200 Yuan issued by the People’s Republic of China.
• On the obverse is the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests.
• The reverse features two pandas seated beside a small pond.

Each 2026 15 Gram Chinese Gold Panda Coin is packaged in a protective plastic pouch and arrives in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. Before 2016, the Chinese Mint issued this coin as the 1/2 oz Gold Panda, making the 15 gram size the modern replacement.

Pair bonds between male and female pandas are brief, lasting only during the short breeding period. Afterward, they return to their solitary ways, often never crossing paths again. This trait makes the giant panda unique among bear species, which sometimes form longer-lasting associations.

The obverse of each 2026 Chinese Gold Panda Coin displays the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests, located in Beijing’s Temple of Heaven. Built in 1420 under the Yongle Emperor, this iconic circular hall is known for its elegant triple-tiered blue roof and wooden construction assembled entirely without nails.

On the reverse, two Giant Pandas are shown sitting beside a small pond in a tranquil natural setting. One panda lowers its head toward the other in a peaceful gesture, surrounded by bamboo and rocky terrain that add lifelike depth to the design.
