One of the great things about the Chinese Silver Panda series is that every year has a different design. This makes the program extremely popular among coin enthusiasts who like to have variety in their collections. The first Chinese Panda coin was released in 1983 as a proof strike, and in 1989, the bullion Panda collection was introduced. Since then, Chinese Silver Pandas have become some of the most sought-after coins in the world. Right now, 2012 1 oz Chinese Silver Panda Coins are available to purchase online from JM Bullion.

In the thick bamboo forests of Southwestern China resides one of the most magnificent mammals, the giant panda. These furry black and white creatures are known for their bamboo diet, which is essential to their survival. Typically, they need at least two species of bamboo to subsist on, and then occasionally they will consume eggs and small animals, too. With a population of about 1500, Pandas currently have Vulnerable conservation status. They are also recognized as the national animal of China.
