Inscriptions on this side of the coin include the date mark and the words Peoples Republic of China in Mandarin.

The Giant Panda is often featured either alone or in a mother-cub pairing, with a background theme featuring a bamboo wall common in many of the issues. Inscriptions on this face of the coin include the face value, as well as 30 g Au 999.

History

After issuing the 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/10 oz, and 1/20 oz gold coins in this series from 1982 to 2015, the Chinese Mint switched the coins to Grams. The result was the replacement of the previous weights with 30 Gram, 15 Gram, 8 Gram, 3 Gram, and 1 Gram coins.
