    Variations in Weight and Denomination of the Chinese Gold Panda Coin<\/h3>\r\nThe coining history of the Chinese Gold Panda coin is arguably the most complex of any coin. As mentioned above, the Gold Panda debuted in 1982 with four weights and gained a fifth in 1983. Since then, the Chinese Mint has issued these five coins annually, but the designs of the Giant Panda on the reverse are the not only elements which have changed with time. The original 1 oz, 1\/2 oz, 1\/4 oz, 1\/10 oz, and 1\/20 oz coins had the following denominations (Yuan) from 1982\/83 to 2000:\r\n
      \r\n \t
    • 1 oz \u2013 100 Yuan<\/li>\r\n \t
    • 1\/2 oz \u2013 50 Yuan<\/li>\r\n \t
    • 1\/4 oz \u2013 25 Yuan<\/li>\r\n \t
    • 1\/10 oz \u2013 10 Yuan<\/li>\r\n \t
    • 1\/20 oz \u2013 5 Yuan<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n

      In 2001, the Chinese Mint altered the denominations of the coins to feature the following face values by weight:<\/h4>\r\n
        \r\n \t
      • 1 oz \u2013 500 Yuan<\/li>\r\n \t
      • 1\/2 oz \u2013 200 Yuan<\/li>\r\n \t
      • 1\/4 oz \u2013 100 Yuan<\/li>\r\n \t
      • 1\/10 oz \u2013 50 Yuan<\/li>\r\n \t
      • 1\/20 oz \u2013 20 Yuan<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nThe changes in the denomination issued on each coin were not the only ones to occur with time. More recently, the Chinese Mint made a significant change to the Chinese Gold Panda by removing Troy ounces as the unit of measurement marked on the coin. Instead, all Chinese Gold Panda coins issued after 2016 have weights marked in Grams on the coin. This, the Chinese Mint says, is to bring the coins in line with the nation\u2019s use of the Metric system. The weights changed to the following markers:\r\n
          \r\n \t
        • 1 oz \u2013 30 Gram<\/li>\r\n \t
        • 1\/2 oz \u2013 15 Gram<\/li>\r\n \t
        • 1\/4 oz \u2013 8 Gram<\/li>\r\n \t
        • 1\/10 oz \u2013 3 Gram<\/li>\r\n \t
        • 1\/20 oz \u2013 1 Gram<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nThe changes in weight measurements did not impact the denominations the Chinese Mint switched to in 2001 for the Gold Pandas. While all five weights maintained the same thickness of the coin, the switch to Grams evened out the weights with the 1 oz, 1\/2 oz, 1\/10 oz, 1\/20 oz coins dropping slightly in total weight from previous measurements. The 1\/4 oz coin actually gained some weight going from 7.7758 Grams as a 1\/4 oz coin to an even 8 Grams under the new unit of measurement.\r\n\r\nFinally, the diameter of the coins was altered slightly as well with the switch to Grams. Only the 1\/2 oz coin maintained a diameter of 27.00 mm. The 1 oz and 1\/20 oz coins shrunk slightly from their original diameters, while the 1\/4 oz and 1\/10 oz coins increased diameter slightly.\r\n
