The 3 Gram China Gold Panda is a fractional-size coin that blends elegant design, fine gold purity, and annual collectibility. Introduced in 2016 as part of the series' shift to the metric system, it replaced the older 1/10 oz denomination and continues to be a top choice for collectors and new investors alike. Struck in .999 fine gold by the China Mint, the coin features a Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) finish and comes unsealed, allowing for close inspection and display. The reverse showcases a unique panda design that changes each year, while the obverse highlights the Temple of Heaven in Beijing.
Why It's Popular:
With its smaller size and affordable price point, the 3g Gold Panda is ideal for both beginners in precious metals and seasoned collectors building out complete series. Its yearly design changes and Chinese cultural symbolism add long-term collector appeal.
Though unsealed, this coin retains full bullion value and sharp detail.
