Gold Panda coins however, do not carry a mint-mark. Since these coins are stricken by various Chinese mints, there are often variations to the coins themselves. For example, the size or the style of the Temple on the obverse of the coin or the size of the date may vary slightly. These minor inconsistencies may allow the Mint of origin to be determined.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #808080\"><em>Gold Panda Coins are available in five weights from 30 grams, 15 grams, 8 grams, 3 grams and 1 gram.
