Moon Festival Pandas

Introduced in 2015, Moon Festival Pandas are a special, GovMint.com exclusive release from the China Mint. Celebrating the Moon Festival, or Mid-Autumn Festival, this series represents a time of the year where people all across China gather together with family to give thanks, eat food, and pray for fortune, while looking forward towards the rest of the year.  This time also brings about the striking of a very special Silver Panda, one that is designed with unique flare each year. For example, the 2017 Moon Festival 1 oz Chinese Silver Panda had a holographic pool of water, reminiscent of the reflection of a full moon on a lake.  The 2018 Moon Festival 1 oz. Chinese silver panda coin utilized a piece of white jade as an immaculate, reflective moon, and in 2019, the series is evoking the Blood Moon, by embeding a peice of red jade onto the face of the coin. The Moon Festival Panda series offer a unique, elegant twist on the standard Panda design, and has been generally well-received by collectors.

Special Releases

An incredible addition to the Panda family of silver coins was the product of a partnership between the Chinese Mint and the Smithsonian National Zoo located in the United States.  In celebration of the 40-year anniversary of the Smithsonian receiving their first Giant Panda’s from the Chinese government, specially themed coins were issued. Struck in .999 fine silver, these Smithsonian Silver Panda coins celebrate not only the anniversary of the first pandas to the Smithsonian, but also to the birth of two giant pandas, Bei Bei and Bao Bao.  These two furry little pandas were received by a massive celebration as the Giant Panda population is incredible low and mating can be notoriously difficult.  Not only do these coins celebrate momentous occasions, but their mintages are extremely low in comparison to the rest of the series.

The annual release of China’s headlining silver coin, the Silver Panda, is highly anticipated by collectors and stackers around the world. This silver bullion series is on par with other silver world coins such as the Australian Silver Kookaburra and the Canadian Silver Maple Leaf.  

What Are Panda Coins?

Many countries have a signature bullion coin to offer collectors and investors around the world. Panda Coins are China’s own signature bullion coin series, struck by the China Mint. Silver Pandas were first struck in 1983 and have an obverse featuring “Tian Tan” or Temple of Heaven in Beijing. The reverse of Panda Coins features the iconic bear in a variety of designs over the years. Like the Australian Kookaburra and Canadian Maple Leaf Coins, Panda Coins are offered in both gold and silver bullion. 

Each bullion Chinese Silver Panda is struck in .999 pure silver and holds a 10 Yuan legal tender. This series boasts annually changing reverse designs, each of which features the iconic Chinese bear portrayed in various ways. For example, the 2017 Silver Panda had the design of a single panda munching on its favorite food, bamboo, while the 2019 Silver Panda had a panda looking over one of its young. Conversely, the obverse always depicts the Temple of Heaven. 

A notable event in the history of the Chinese Silver Panda series was the transition from metric units, like the troy ounce, to grams in 2016. With stunning designs featuring one of the most unique animals on the planet, the Chinese Silver Panda series is sure to thrill for years to come. Scroll below to learn more about this series, including special issue Silver Pandas as well as the China Mint's recent Moon Panda series. 

Design of Silver Panda Coins

Most years since 1983, China has minted a new one-ounce Silver Panda coin. With only one exception, each year features a brand new one-year-only panda design, which makes collecting the silver series endlessly interesting and fun to search out. China Silver Pandas are among the most popular coins in the world. Each China Silver Panda coin contains one troy ounce of 99.9% pure silver. The China Silver Panda is traditionally issued in stunning Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition. 

China doesn't only issue Silver Pandas, they also strike a variety of Gold Pandas as well.

Are Silver Panda Coins a Good Investment?

Silver bullion coins attract many investors both for their high silver content and, in some cases, for their rarity and collectibility. Silver Panda Coins are especially attractive to investors since their mintage numbers are generally lower and collector interest remains high, especially since 2004, when Chinese citizens could legally collect their own bullion coin, adding an astounding number of collectors to the Silver Panda market. 

However, like any investment, there is risk when investing in silver bullion coins. The value of these coins is dependent on a number of ever-changing factors: fluctuating silver prices, demand, finishes, coin condition, and more. There’s simply no guarantee of a return on investment with bullion coins.
