2023 China 30-gm Silver Panda NGC MS70 One of First 20,000 Struck w/Temple of Heaven Label & Tong Fang Signature

2023 Marks 40th Anniversary Of China's Silver Panda Series!

Beloved for its precious metal content and intricate designs that change each year, the Chinese Silver Panda bullion series remains one of the world's most celebrated programs. First released in 1983 and building in popularity every year since, the China Mint's Silver Panda series is now among the most popular on the planet. With 2023 marking the 40th anniversary of silver series (the first Gold Pandas were released in 1982), there's no time like the present to secure this global phenomenon.

One-Year-Only Design Is Fifth Year Of "Series Within A Series"

Each coin available in this offer was struck in 30 grams of highly pure 99.9% fine silver and is 10 Yuan legal tender in the People's Republic of China and feature the newest one-year-only design in the Panda series. The new 2023 design was created by Tong Fang, a China Mint designer who has created many one-year-only designs for China's Panda Series. Ms. Fang's design for the 2023 Panda coin features a pair of playful young Panda bears–twins perhaps?–playing in a tree. They're shown facing each other, one in the tree and one below, extending their paws as if one is offering the other a "hand" up in the tree.

This is the fifth year of the China Mint's 10-year "series within a series" where collectors get to watch a Panda grow from a cub to adulthood. The obverse displays the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests located in Beijing's Temple of Heaven. It is encircled by the phrase "People's Republic of China" in Chinese along with the 2023 year date.

Flawless Mint State Pandas From Among The First Struck

Each 2023 China 30-Gram Silver Panda available here has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) as being in flawless Mint State-70 (MS70) condition, a distinction that means these perfectly-graded coins have ZERO imperfections–showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended. In addition, NGC certified that these coins were among the First 20,000 Struck–which seems like a lot, but when you consider the mintage for this coin is 10 million, this represents just 0.2% of the entire mintage!

To top it off, each coin available here has been sonically sealed in a museum-quality acrylic capsule and encapsulated with a special Temple of Heaven label that was personally signed by designer Tong Fang! Ms. Fang is renowned within the numismatic community for several of her Chinese commemorative designs as well as her previous Panda coin designs in 2019 and 2021.

High Demand For Panda Coins Inside China Makes These Coins Difficult To Acquire

Since 2016, China's legendary Silver Pandas have been issued in metric weights, setting themselves apart from other silver coins minted around the world. In addition, simply acquiring one of these coins can be extremely difficult due to the fact that demand for them within China's borders is extremely intense, making them harder to find outside of the country. No matter what your reasons are for collecting these fabulous coins, now is the time to bring a 2023 China Silver Panda home to your collection!
