Not since 1997, has China issued giant 5 oz. pure silver Panda
coins. Now, for the first time in 6 years, China has issued large
70 mm., 5 oz. pure (999 fine) silver Panda coins with a face value
of 50 Yuan. The mintage is limited to 10,000 coins, with fewer
than 2,000 pieces allotted to the United States. The handsome
design features a facing giant panda in a bamboo grove. Each coin
comes in an official government presentation box with a certificate
of authenticity.

Pandas are available now on a first come first served basis at
