The China Gold Panda coins are minted from 24K .999 Fine Gold and are issued in five different sizes: 1 Troy Oz. 1/2 Troy Oz. 1/4 Troy Oz. 1/10 Troy Oz. and 1/20 Troy Oz., with legal tender denominations ranging from 20 to 500 Yuan. The highly polished mirror finish with raised frosted elements of the designs gives a proof-like look to the Panda coins.

The yearly mintage limits of Pandas by the Chinese Mint is kept relatively low. This, together with the spectacular beauty of the coins and the fact that there is a new design on the reverse each year, has enhanced their appeal with collectors. The premium over the intrinsic gold value charged on Pandas by the Chinese Mint is higher than that charged for most other gold bullion coins issued by other countries. This has not proven to be a significant factor for coin collectors, but for investors interested only in the gold content of the bullion coins that they buy, Pandas may not be their bullion coins of preference.
