Mint-Identified 2024 Silver Pandas Are Here! Beloved for its precious metal content and intricate designs that change each year, China’s 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-a popularity that means there’s no time like the present to secure this global phenomenon! 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 three-piece offer was struck in 30 grams of highly pure 99.9% fine silver and bears a label that identifies the specific China Mint branch location that struck it, Shenzhen, Shanghai, and Shenyang-that’s three coins, one from each mint! In addition, each 2024 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. Each will also come sonically sealed in an acrylic holder and encapsulated with a special label that identifies which mint struck the coin. Personally Signed By A China Mint Director! Each label was also personally signed by former Shanghai Mint and Shenyang Mint Director Peter Gu. 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. This is the first time that a Mint Director from any of China’s national mints has been used with a Panda-series release! One-Year-Only Design Is Sixth Year Of “Series Within A Series”. These coins are also 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 2024 design was created Chinese coin designer Huang Qin. 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 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. 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 these 2024 China Silver Pandas home to your collection! A HEARTWARMING ONE-YEAR-ONLY DESIGN! This year’s Silver Panda design features a mother panda bear playing with her young cub. This delightful one-year-only image is the sixth year in a 10-year “series within a series” that chronicles a Panda’s growth from a cub to adulthood! STRUCK IN HIGHLY PURE SILVER! These Panda coins were each struck in 30 grams of highly pure 99.9% fine silver and measure 40 mm in diameter. CHINA LEGAL TENDER. Each 2023 Thirty-Gram Silver Panda is 10 Yuan China legal tender, as seen right underneath the Panda’s profile on the coin’s reverse. Flip the coins over and you’ll see the date, the inscription of “People’s Republic of China” in Chinese and an image of the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests, located in Beijing’s Temple of Heaven. Your 2023 Silver Pandas have been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) in perfect Uncirculated Mint State-70 (MS70) condition. KEY FIRST DAY OF ISSUE CERTIFICATION.

NGC has further certified that each coin was struck at a different mint: Shenzhen, Shanghai, and Shenyang.
