The 2003 release of the Chinese Silver Panda was a notable date in the history of the Silver Panda bullion series. Traditionally, the Chinese Panda bullion coins come with a new depiction of the Giant Panda each year. However, the 2001 and 2002 coins shared a design, a first in the program’s history. The 2003 issue marked a return to variety in the collection. Right now, 2003 1 oz Chinese Silver Panda Coins are available to purchase online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each of the 2003 1 oz Chinese Silver Panda Coins available here comes with a protective plastic capsule for delivery. The Chinese Mint declared a final mintage of 600,000 coins in 2003, a figure that represented a record mintage in the series at the time.
Giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) have a history dating back millions of years. Fossils of their ancestors have been found in China, indicating their presence in the region for a long time. The Giant Panda has been a symbol of the nation for decades and has featured on national bullion coins since 1982 when the Gold Panda Series debuted.
In the obverse design of the 2003 Chinese Silver Panda Coin, you will find the image of a Giant Panda. In this year’s design, the Giant Panda is shown looking toward the viewer with bamboo in the background and a few stalks of bamboo emerging in the foreground.
For the reverse design of 2003 1 oz Silver Panda Coins, the mint depicts the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests. This design has remained static on the reverse of all Silver Pandas since 1983, and also features on the obverse of all Gold Panda coins. It showcases the image of the primary building within the Temple of Heaven Complex.
