The People's Republic of China began minting
silver panda coins in 1983. The silver pandas carry the denomination
of 10 yuan. The obverse features the Temple of Heaven while different
panda designs have been used on the reverse each year (except
in 2001 and 2002). Minor obverse modifications have been made
over the years. The 1983 pandas were 38.6 mm., 27 gm. of 900
fine silver, proof quality. These same specifications were used
in 1984 and 1985. No silver panda coins were issued in 1986.
The 1987 silver pandas were 40 mm., 1 troy oz. of 925 fine silver,
proof quality. No silver panda coins were issued in 1988. From
1989-1997 silver pandas were issued in both proof and brilliant
uncirculated with the specifications: 40 mm., 1 troy oz. of 999
fine silver. Since 1998, only brilliant uncirculated silver pandas
have been issued to the same specifications. Panda coin scans
displayed below are slightly larger than their actual size.
