After 10 years the obverse design of the coin has changed. The 1992 Panda Gold Coins which are 99.9 troy oz fine gold are in mint-state or brilliant uncirculated condition and sold in the original sealed packing. They are very popular with worldwide collectors and investors for the very attractive panda designs which change every year.
Several Chinese mints can produce the Panda gold coins and do not usually employ mintmarks however minor changes in size of writing, or a mintmark, occur when more than one mint is used. Panda gold coins are tax free. It should be noted that Panda gold coins are not sold domestically within China. They are only for foreign sale.
