The Design
The Panda gets an exclusive, cute depiction in its natural habitat each year.
In 2020, for example, the obverse design has two pandas. One panda, which seems to be a cub, is perched on an eucalyptus branch, accompanied by his mommy Panda.
The coin’s description regarding weight, metal content, purity, and face value accompanies the Panda’s depiction.
The Temple of Heaven in Beijing is a standard reverse design in the series. Chinese characters for “The People’s Republic of China” arch over the temple, while the year of mintage is usually at the bottom.
The Silver Pandas
Silver Pandas were introduced in the bullion market in 1983, following the debut of their gold counterparts in 1982, initially as proof issues, limited editions, and occasional special strikes.
The early coins were minted in .900 fine silver, a standard maintained until production paused in 1985. When the series resumed in 1987, the purity was increased to .925 silver, and by 1989, .999 fine silver became the established standard.
In 2016, the series adopted the metric system, shifting weights to grams, while continuing its hallmark tradition of introducing a new panda design each year. That is why you will receive a coin dated as early as 2016 and no earlier.
