  • The digit '2' on the Shenyang Mint product has a thicker horizontal line.
  • The year '2010' on the Shenzhen Mint product tend to be further from the rim, hence, can be known as by the common term for Panda coins - Small Date.

    On the Sheyang minted coin the temple windows have faint slanted lines.
    On the Shenzhen mint temple windows they have a faint diamond shape.
