Seen Any 2016 Designs?

**MCJ** · September 29, 2015

I've heard that the 2016 pandas will be 30g. Can anybody confirm or deny?

Not really, just more speculaton. But if they do it will bring the old 1oz series to an end and start a new series. Might start collecting them if they do.

If they are changing the size they may as well go to 50g.

If they are changing the size they may as well go to 50g.

If they do change to 30g they'll probably keep the price the same as the 1oz (31.1g) coins.

There seems to be a few rumours of a new silver eagle design in 2016 for the 30th year.

My guess is that someone said they should to mark the anniversary and others have run with it.

I thought the Maples with the 25 in them were pretty nice looking but I haven't heard anything special so far about the Eagles. It would be pretty nice if they did though.

They have!

Nice design with weight and ag/au stamped!

I suspect this will sell well and might make the 2015 the weird unpopular sort after one of the future.

Do you think the 50g silver will be available in BU?

**DavePanda** · October 15, 2015

Early days but I think the 50g is a BU

morezone · October 15, 2015

The 50g should be 150g and should be the replacement for the 5oz proof.

HelpingHands · October 15, 2015

It would've been funny if they had reduced the face value to 9.64 Yuan.

Looks like China are steadily imposing their values to accepted customs, changing the troy oz standard measure to metric. I understand they have London good delivery gold bars recast into kg bars also. A further sign of bias shifting from west to east.

金 means metal, and this with the following symbol 质(which I have no idea what it means) make 金质 which means gold.

All sizes greater than 30g are proof. At least I think they are as they are referred to as refined which is omitted on 30g and under.
