The Chinese Silver Panda Coins are one of the most popular silver coins to ever circulate the country as well as the currency markets around the globe.

If you are interested in collecting these kinds of coins, especially those from China, then this article’s going to give you some of the basic information that you will need to identify a particular Chinese silver panda coin.

The very first class of Chinese Silver Panda Coins were circulated between 1983 and 1985, which had tiny mintages of only 10,000 and were known to be one of the few Chinese coins that were very rare and difficult to locate. The actual precious metal content is 27 grams of 900 fine silver with a diameter of 38.6 mm. These were already very impressive and valuable, but that didn’t limit collectors from taking a look at the later versions of these coins.

For instance, the 1987 sterling panda is the only Chinese silver panda coin ever to have been minted from sterling silver. It had an actual precious metal content of 1 oz. of 925 fine silver and was is the first silver panda coin that had a diameter of 40 mm.

Another reason why these coins were so valuable and in demand among coin collectors was the design on the coin itself, especially that of the panda. What’s more, the prices for these particular coins were very affordable, starting from the 1989 1 oz. pure .999 silver panda coin until the present 2007 Chinese Silver Panda Coin.

And because of this, you will find a lot of collectors with complete sets of Chinese Silver Panda Coins either online or in actual shops who are willing to sell them at reasonable prices.
