2022 China Panda 30g Silver BU Coin NGC MS 69

The Chinese Mint is celebrating a landmark date in its Chinese Panda Series in 2022. This date marks the 40^th anniversary of the first coins issued in this series. The Gold Pandas debuted in 1982 with four weights available. While the silver coin debuted later, it will also feature the special 40^th-anniversary mark on its obverse field in 2022 to honor the occasion.

The Chinese Mint launched its national bullion coins in 1982. At the time, only the South African Krugerrand and Canadian Maple Leaf existed in the gold bullion coin market as major options. Each year since, the Chinese Mint has depicted the Giant Panda on the coins in a new design, with the lone exception being 2002 when the 2001 design was repeated. The Silver Panda made its debut in 1983 as a proof and in 1989 as the BU coins that started this series.

Two pandas are shown sliding down a snowy hill in the obverse design of 2022 30 Gram Chinese Silver Panda Coins. This visual shows one panda going headfirst down the hill with its front legs out as it slides on its stomach. The other panda is shown on its back with both its front and back legs up in the air. The 40th-anniversary mark on this side consists of the digits 40 with a panda in the 0.
