I finally got this years version the other day the 2022 30 Gram Chinese Silver Panda Coin.
I am up to 11 of the Chinese Panda series coins, I don't know if I will ever have them all but I will slowly keep trying to get some of the older ones.
The Chinese Panda series is celebrating it's 40th year since the first coin of the series was minted. The first 2 years where minted in gold and the silver version was started in 1983. The first 3 years of silver were minted only in poof quality with a lower mintage of 10,000 a year. Every year has been a different design except 1986 they did not mint the series and 2002 they used the same design as 2001.
Up until 2016 the Chinese panda's were minted in 1 ounce coins. From 2016 until present they have switch to the metric system and have a weight of 30 grams. It's my understanding the switch was because Chinese don't understand the weight of an ounce being they only use the metric system so they went with an even amount of 30 grams.
As always the obvers features the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests in the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. The outer circle has the year and the Chinese characters for "People's Republic of China."
This year being the 40th year anniversary the Panda series added a 40 panda privy mark on the reverse side. This years design feature 2 baby pandas sliding down a snow covered hill.

Silver panda coin is wonderful. I thought they are 1oz !
For several years they were 1 troy ounce but Chinese people don't know what an ounce is so they switched it to the metric system and went with the rounded off number of 30 grams.
Looks great. I collected the silver strikes from casinos for awhile. I need to look through my collection and see how prices have changed.
!PIZZA
I'm sure the value has gone up.
It was only a few years ago spot price was around $18 an ounce now its about $25
so just for that fact they should be worth more.
Nice! When i first started stacking, chinese panda were difficult to come by, these days it seems like they're everywhere.
They are a very popular option for stackers and the mintage has gone up over the years so they are readily available at an affordable price.
You buy all your silver from QS?
I ended up with a Canadian Maple this month lol Kind of a let down lolol
No I get silver from multiple different places this one I got from Modern Coin Mart. I try to search around to find a good price from a reputable site. You should get something different this month you can see the coins for the month here.
This looks SO BEAUTIFUL!
Thanks this is one of my favorite series.
Very nice collection of the panda Mike. I was not aware that it is an annual minting. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks John, yeah this is one of the longer running series and one of the first to change it's design every year.
Woot, woot!!!!
And now you have the latest release!
Good job!
You won't be sorry, @maddogmike!
Yes, it took me a little time but this is one of those coins I make sure to get every year. One of my favorite series for sure.
That is a lot of Pandas. It looks like they change things up quite a bit and good luck collecting the older panda coins.

Thanks, I think one of the coolest things about the panda series is that they change the design every year.
Another good-looking coin. Definitely an asset to your collection. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Bob, this is one of my favorite series and also the one that I have the most of.
