A design that delights anew every year

China has been minting the Panda since 1982 – and since 1983, every year of issue has featured a new panda design. It is precisely this tradition that keeps the series so vibrant among connoisseurs. The 2017 edition shows a panda contentedly eating bamboo, while the background is finely textured with bamboo leaves. The face value "10 元" (10 Yuan) is displayed at the top, and "1g Au .999" is stated at the bottom. The obverse features the Temple of Heaven in Beijing – a landmark that has adorned Panda coins since the very first year of issue – framed by the inscription "People's Republic of China" and the year 2017. The coin is delivered in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, sealed in its original protective foil from the mint.

Important for its substance: as of 2017, the Panda is no longer issued in troy ounces but in metric gram units (1 g, 3 g, 8 g, 15 g and 30 g). The 1-gram Panda is thus the smallest building block of an entire family of gram-gold coins – and despite its personal, playful design, it remains first and foremost a return-oriented gold investment.

Why investors choose the small Panda

Gold is the oldest currency in the world and has been a proven store of value for over 6,000 years. It has never been worth zero, because it possesses an intrinsic, physical value that no central bank can simply create more of. While fiat money can be printed and devalued, the supply of gold remains limited – a key reason for its long-term value stability. It is not without reason that central banks around the world hold enormous gold reserves.

Small amounts of gold add up over the years to a considerable fortune – the 1g Panda is the ideal way to invest in physical gold step by step.

The small denomination brings a very practical advantage: as a divisible gold investment, the 1-gram Panda can be used and sold more flexibly than a large gold bar. In times of currency turmoil, this small format in particular serves as a globally recognized medium of exchange, since gold is tradable everywhere and can be converted into cash at any time. This way, the coin combines high liquidity with the reassuring feeling of genuine tangible-asset protection.

• Wealth preservation: protection against loss of purchasing power and currency risks.
• Building wealth in small steps: an affordable entry into physical gold.
• Tradable at any time: globally recognized, easy to resell.
• Crisis-proof: a compact format as a reserve for uncertain times.
• Tax-attractive: investment gold is exempt from VAT; after a minimum holding period of one year, capital gains are generally tax-free.

Investment gold for special occasions

Would you like to give something lasting for a christening, birth, wedding or Christmas? Then with the 1g Panda, you're not giving a fleeting gesture, but genuine investment gold. The cute bear provides the personal touch – the real substance is the fine gold it contains, whose value is tied to the gold price. Whether as a building block of your own gold reserve or as an investment for the next generation: anyone who buys these gold coins is choosing a tangible asset that retains its shine across generations.
