2024 China Kilo Silver Panda Proof PF70UC First Releases w/Shenzhen Mint Identification & Gu Signature

Snuggle Up To China’s One-Year-Only 2024 Silver Panda Design!

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.

Mint-Identified Pandas From The China Mint!

Just as the United States has mints in Philadelphia, Denver, San Francisco, and West Point that strike a portion of a coin’s overall mintage, China spreads its coins between several mints. The difference is that China does not add mint marks to its coins! It is only through a careful screening process that tracks which coins come from which mint that experts can determine the mint of origin—a process we have perfected through our close relationship with mint officials! Each coin available in this offer was Beautifully struck in a full kilogram of highly pure 99.9% fine silver and bears a Panda-themed label that identifies China’s Shenzhen Mint as its mint of origin.

One-Year-Only Design Is Sixth Year Of “Series Within A Series”

The new, one-year-only image for 2024 coin features a design created Chinese coin designer Huang Qin. Ms. Huang is renowned within the numismatic community for several of her Chinese commemorative coin designs—one of which won a Coin of the Year (COTY) award for “Best Gold Coin.” Her design for the 2024 Panda coin features a bright-eyed mother panda bear playing with her absolutely adorable young cub. The mama bear almost seems to be beaming with pride as she snuggles with her little fur baby. This is the sixth 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 of this 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 2024 year date.

Flawless Proof Pandas From Among The First Released!

This remarkable—and large—silver coin is even more spectacular due to its Proof finish. It was expertly crafted by the skillful artisans at the China Mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields! Magnificent only begins to describe this breathtaking treasure that measures more than two inches in diameter! In fact, each 2024 Silver Panda available in this offer has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) as being in flawless Proof-70 Ultra Cameo (PF70UC) condition, a distinction that means your perfectly-graded proof will have ZERO imperfections—showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended. In addition, NGC has also certified that these proofs are First Releases (FR) coins, a designation that means they were received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository within the first 30 days of the series’ release.

Personally Signed By A China Mint Director!

In addition to the mint-identifying label that shows these coins were struck at the China Mint’s Shenzhen facility, the labels have also been personally signed by former Shanghai Mint and Shenyang Mint Director Peter Gu. Mr. Gu is highly respected in China’s numismatic industry and was responsible for many of the innovations and production processes used by China’s national mints today. Mr. Gu’s signatures as part of China’s 2024 Panada series represents the first time that a Mint Director from any of China’s national mints has been used with a Panda-series release!
