Minting of the China Panda Coin Series
The People’s Bank of China is the central bank for the People’ Republic of China and is responsible for managing monetary policy and regulation of financial institutions throughout China.
Since 2016, the People’s Bank of China changed the weight of the China Gold Panda and Silver Panda coins to metric weights.
In 2015 and prior, the coins were minted in 1 oz and fractional ounce coins.
Beginning in 2016, the China Silver Panda and China Gold Panda coins have been minted as 30 gram coins, which is slightly less than 1 troy ounce.
Switching their silver and gold bullion coins to metric weights has not yet had much influence on other government mints.
The majority of government and private mints continue to use the traditional Roman Monetary System or British Imperial troy ounce denominations for which has been in use by the Bretton Woods system most Western Nations.
