The Chinese Mint has an up-and-down history with the production of the Silver Chinese Pandas. In 1983, 1984, and 1985, the coin was available as a 27 Gram proof specimen with .900 silver content. No Silver Chinese Panda was issued in 1986. In 1987, the coin was issued as a 1 Troy oz specimen, but with sterling silver content, or .925.
It wasn’t until 1989 that the Chinese Mint had standardized its Silver Pandas for annual release. The coin settled in at 1 Troy oz of .999 fine silver with a 40 MM diameter. It continued that way until 2015. In 2016, the Chinese Mint switched all of its Chinese Panda bullion coins from Troy ounces to Grams.
The obverse face of 30 Gram Silver Chinese Pandas always features the Giant Panda species, but the massive bears are depicted in a new design for each release. The coins sometimes feature just one bear or can feature an adult and its young cub. The designs in the 30 Gram version of the series have never been repeated, so you’ll find new images for each date mark since 2016.
On the reverse side of 30 Gram Silver Pandas is the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests. The exterior facade of the building is depicted on this side of the coins every year dating back to the debut of the series. The date mark is featured on this side along with the nation of issue.
