The China Panda bullion coin was initially introduced in 1982 by the China Banknote Printing and Mining Corporation, but it is now the China Gold Coin Incorporation that issues the coins under the People’s Bank of China. The panda holds global recognition as China's national animal and is a highly popular motif.
The initial minting of the silver coin was in 1983. Since then, each year has brought forth a fresh design adorning the reverse of the coin. The 2023 depiction features two young pandas in a tree. Tong Fang, the artist behind this endearing illustration, titled it "accompanying love" with one young panda reaching out its paw to assist its sibling. This side also features the coin's face value of 10 yuan, along with the weight and purity indicated as "30g Ag .999".
On the obverse, the coin presents the renowned Temple of Heaven complex in Beijing. The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, the largest structure within the complex, stands out with its three massive wooden circular tiers, showcasing remarkable engineering.
The China Panda 30 gram Silver Coin 2023 has a diameter of 40.00 mm and is crafted from 30 grams of fine silver with a purity of 999/1000. It is also available in gold in weights of 30 grams, 15 grams, 8 grams, 3 grams and 1 gram.
Even after 40 years, the China Panda Silver Coin remains immensely popular, serving as an ideal gift and a promising investment opportunity due to its unique and captivating designs together with its high-quality minting.
