The Silver Chinese Panda Series debuted in 1983 at the Chinese Mint, one year after the debut of the series in 1982. In 1982, four gold bullion coins were issued, with a fifth gold bullion coin introduced in 1983 alongside a first-ever silver bullion coin. However, those early silver coins were proof specimens. It wasn’t until 1989 that the silver coin became a BU specimen for investors. Now, 2022 30 Gram Silver Chinese Pandas are available to you for purchase online at Silver.com.

Chinese Panda bullion coins are the official bullion coins of the People’s Republic of China. The series started in 1982 with 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz gold coins. In 1983, a 1/20 oz gold coin was introduced and so too was the first silver version of the coins. Throughout the 1980s, the Chinese Mint adjusted the silver coin several times.
There were two years between 1983 and 1989 that featured no silver issues. The weight and purity of the coins changed regularly, with silver content adjusted from 90% silver to sterling silver and finally to .999 fineness. As of 1989, the series has been available with a 1 oz silver BU coin. In 2016, the 1 oz .999 silver coin became the 30 Gram silver coin.
The obverse of these 2022 Silver Chinese Panda Coins comes with a depiction of the Giant Panda species. In this design, two Giant Pandas are featured enjoying a day playing in the snow. The new design from the Chinese Mint features a 40th-anniversary privy mark on the obverse side of the coin. In this special release, the two Giant Pandas have been covered with a thin layer of 24-karat gold to create visual contrast.
On the reverse side of 2022 30 Gram Silver Pandas is a depiction of the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests. Created in 1982 for the debut of the gold coins, the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests has featured on all coins in the series since that time. It is visible here from the exterior near the front steps of the building.
These 2022 30 Gram Silver Chinese Pandas are available to you with acrylic capsules for delivery. The coins have a thin application of 24-karat gold on the obverse and limited mintages. The coins are available here in Brilliant Uncirculated condition.
