FAQs
What are China Mint Silver Panda coins? 
China Mint Silver Panda coins are a series of government-issued silver bullion coins produced by the China Mint. They feature an annually changing design showcasing a giant panda bear, China’s national treasure.
What is the history behind the Silver Panda Coin?
The Silver Panda coin series, a testament to China’s numismatic excellence, began its journey in 1983. These initial releases were crafted in proof quality, containing 27 grams of 0.900 fine silver and measuring 38.6 mm in diameter. Early mintages were limited to 10,000 per year, adding to their exclusivity. Interestingly, 1986 saw no Silver Panda issuance, creating a unique gap in the series’ timeline. The year 1987 marked a significant change, with the coins now minted from 1 troy oz. of sterling (.925 fine) silver and featuring a larger 40 mm diameter.
Throughout their history, Silver Pandas have been produced by various mints, including Shanghai, Shenyang, and Shenzhen. Unlike their American and German counterparts, these coins lack mintmarks, making them distinct in the global numismatic landscape. However, keen-eyed collectors can often determine the originating mint through subtle design variations, such as differences in the size of the date or the depiction of the Temple of Heaven.
The year 2016 brought another pivotal change to the series. In line with China’s commitment to the metric system, the Silver Pandas transitioned from the troy ounce to a round 30 grams of .999 fine silver, equivalent to 0.9645 troy ounces. This move not only aligned the coins with China’s standard measurement system but also set them apart in the international bullion market.
The enduring appeal of Silver Pandas is evident in their market value. As of 2020, the most valuable coin in the series was a perfect 1983 proof panda, commanding an impressive $16,430. Even non-proof issues have shown remarkable value, with a perfect large-date 1991 panda worth $3,100. These figures underscore the series’ popularity among both collectors and investors.
Today, Silver Pandas continue to captivate numismatists worldwide. The annual design changes, featuring new depictions of China’s beloved Giant Panda, maintain a fresh appeal year after year. This combination of artistic beauty, precious metal content, and numismatic history ensures that Silver Pandas remain a cornerstone of Chinese coin collecting, representing both a cultural touchstone and a potentially valuable investment.
What is the design of the Silver Panda Coins?
The design of the silver panda coins features a depiction of The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests located in the Temple of Heaven complex in Beijing on the obverse. The Chinese characters on top say “中华人民共和国”, meaning the People’s Republic of China, and the bottom shows the year of issue. The reverse of the coin showcases portraits of the giant panda, with the design changing annually, except for 2001 and 2002, which share the same design.
