2000-2020 Smithsonian® 2-oz Silver National Zoo 20th Anniversary Panda Proof

Celebrate 20 Years of Mei Xiang and Tian Tian

2020 will mark the 20th anniversary of pandas Mei Xiang and Tian Tian’s arrival at the Smithsonian® National Zoo. It’s an important anniversary, as the pandas are technically on loan from China’s Chengdu province, and were set to return home in 2021 prior to the birth of their new cub. To celebrate this anniversary, the Smithsonian has authorized the release of the special anniversary panda silver proof.

A Beautiful Family of Pandas

Struck in two ounces of highly pure 99.9% fine silver, this 20th anniversary medal displays the Smithsonian Castle and the Great Wall of China on the obverse side. The reverse, designed by Chinese coin designer Tong Fang, features momma panda Mei Xiang and papa panda Tian Tian along with their newborn cub, Xiao Qi Ji — the “little miracle” — who was on August 21, 2020. Ms. Tong is known for crafting the 2019 and 2021 China Panda one-year-only reverse designs.
