History
The Silver Pandas were first minted in 1983. The first 3 years of mintage were in proof quality condition, and had a limited mintage of 10,000 pieces for each year. No Silver Pandas were struck in 1986, but they have been minted every year since then. Each year, the design of the panda changes making them highly collectible. The only year they didn’t change design was 2002, which used the same design as 2001.
The Chinese Silver Panda Coins have become the darlings of China’s Shenzhen-Guobao Mint. Celebrating China’s most iconic creature — the Panda Bear — this series is known for its fine artistry and high quality. Beginning with the 2016 release and henceforth, all the mint’s bullion coins will be weighed in accordance with the metric system. Each coin will now weigh 30 grams and contain .999 pure
silver.
Although Chinese Silver Panda Coins have been especially popular throughout their homeland and the rest of Asia, their popularity has recently extended worldwide. The Panda may make its home in the southwestern forests of China, but the entire world has grown to love this adorable black and white bear.
The combination of intricate detailing and the annual design changes has made the Chinese Panda
Silver Coins stand apart from all others. With the combination of both Matte and Proof finish’s being used each year, the Chinese Panda’s will remain as one of the World’s most sought after coins for their unbelievable eye appeal alone.
