What design does the China Panda 2027 show?
The reverse of the 2027 issue shows two pandas cuddling up together, plus the face value, weight and purity. The obverse features the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, the name of the People's Republic of China and the year. According to the People's Bank of China, all 2027 Panda gold and silver coins bear this design.
The Temple of Heaven on the obverse is the recurring core motif of the series. The panda design on the reverse differs on earlier issues, so you will find each design on the individual product page. The same 2027 design appears, for example, on the 30g China Panda Gold Coin 2027.
Who issues the China Panda and where does StoneX Bullion source it?

Why does the silver Panda weigh 30 g instead of one ounce?
The China Panda is issued in grams, not troy ounces. The 2027 silver coin contains 30 g of fine silver, slightly less than one troy ounce of 31.1035 g. Since 2016, the regular Panda bullion coins have been issued in grams instead of troy ounces; the 2027 issue follows this metric system.
When comparing it with other silver coins, look at the fine weight and the premium per gram. What counts is the price displayed at the time you place your order. For an overview of other bullion coins, see the silver coins category; the gold versions are listed under Chinese Panda gold coins.
