The giant panda was unknown to the Western world until the 19th century. French missionary and naturalist Armand David first introduced the species to Western science in 1869 when he sent a pelt and a skull to the Natural History Museum in Paris. In the modern era, the Giant Panda is well known around the world as the symbol of the Chinese Panda bullion coin series. Today, 2001 1 oz Chinese Silver Panda Coins are available online at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The name “panda” is believed to be derived from a Nepalese word “ponya,” which means “bamboo-eater.” The “giant” in the name helps distinguish them from their smaller relative, the red panda.
All of these 2001 1 oz Chinese Silver Panda Coins are available to you inside individual acrylic capsules. The Chinese Mint declared a total mintage of 500,000 coins for the 2001 release of Silver Pandas, though the mintage is believed to have been split between a domestic-only release and a wider international release. The 2001 Silver Panda design is notable as the only one to be repeated as this same Giant Panda design was used again in 2002.
On the obverse of 2001 Chinese Silver Panda Coins, you will find the image of a full-grown Giant Panda. The panda is shown here in left-profile relief with a detailed, ornate depiction of bamboo surrounding the field.
The reverse side of 2001 1 oz Silver Pandas comes with a depiction of the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests. This view of the exterior of the building looking toward the main doors has been used on the reverse since the program’s debut. The Hall of Prayer is part of the Taoist religious site known as the Temple of Heaven Complex.
