While the official emblem of the People’s Republic of China is the dragon, many people both inside and outside of China view the panda as one of the symbols of the nation. The panda is native to south-central China. The species is considered among the endangered animals of the world, with estimates of the wild population ranging from 1,500 to 3,000.

The Chinese Silver Panda Series debuted in 1983. After production for three consecutive years, the panda coins were suspended briefly in 1986, before returning to production in 1987. Chinese Panda coins are notable for the use of a new obverse design each year, making it the first major bullion coin series to adopt this design approach.

The Chinese Mint produces Chinese Silver Panda coins under the guidance and oversight of the People’s Bank of China. Though the Chinese Mint operates multiple facilities around the nation, no mint marks are used so it is unknown which mints produce each individual Chinese Silver Panda.
