2020 Chinese Panda 30 grams Silver Coin
The beloved coin series depicting the national animal of China has just expanda-ed with its newest release- the 2020 30 gram Chinese Silver Panda coin. This Panda Bear coin is produced by the People’s Bank of China and has a face value of 10 Yuan, which is back by the Chinese government. These valuable silver Chinese coins contain .999 fine silver and weigh 30 grams, making them a desirable addition to your growing silver portfolio.
The Chinese Panda coin program began in 1982 with the creation of the Gold Panda coin. In 1983 the first Silver Pandas were introduced in the form of Proof coins. In 2016 Gold and Silver Panda coins started being produced in denominations of 30 grams, instead of their previous weight of 1 troy ounce. Additionally, the 5 troy ounce coins were reduced to 150 grams. Interestingly, during that same year, Giant Pandas were reclassified from “endangered “ to “vulnerable” by the IUCN, much to the relief of Panda-lovers everywhere. These Chinese Silver Panda coins have been issued in many variations, including uncirculated and proof versions, as well as colored and privy marked renditions.
The obverse of the Silver Panda features the renowned Temple of Heaven, a construction of several religious buildings, located in Beijing, China. Emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties visited the Hall of Prayer annually to pray for a good harvest. The reverse design of the Silver Panda changes every year (excluding 2001 and 2002 when the design remained the same). The 2020 Silver Panda will feature a new design.
