This 2014 Chinese Silver Panda contains 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver and has been certified MS70 by Independent Coin Graders (ICG), the highest numerical Mint State grade.
The 2014 design features a panda seated among bamboo while holding a branch, with the 10 Yuan denomination displayed alongside it. The opposite side depicts the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests at Beijing’s Temple of Heaven, a signature design of the Chinese Panda series.
An interesting feature of this coin is its one-troy-ounce silver weight. In 2016, China transitioned its Silver Panda series to the metric system, reducing the standard silver coin’s weight to 30 grams. This 2014 issue belongs to the earlier one-ounce series and contains approximately 3.4% more silver than the modern 30-gram version.
With a published mintage figure of 8 million coins, the 2014 Panda is not considered a particularly low-mintage issue. Its collectible appeal comes from its annual design, earlier one-ounce format, and certified MS70 grade.
