The 1999 1 oz.t version was minted by 3 different mint - Shanghai Mint, Shenzhen Guobao Mint, Shenyang Mint, hence resulted in 3 different types of fonts for the mint year '1999'. The different fonts are as follows for each mint:

Small Date - Shanghai Mint;

Large Date - Shenyang Mint;

Serif Date - Shenzhen Guobao Mint.

As seen below, the Serif Date is the most scarce version of the three and in my opinion the most scarce of the series. Though its price is lower than the 2000 Mirrored version, the 1999 Serif Date version is seldom seen on ebay as double-sealed, usually they would have been graded.

The year 1999 is the last year that the 1 oz.t Proof version was issued. No data was recorded for this as I'm not keen on coloured coins at all.

The turn of the millennium is a turn of good fortune for coin dealers and collectors who boarded the cart early. Looking back in Year 2000, silver spot price never went above US$5.50. What could have been issued at silver bullion price by the mints have been greatly inflated within the decade by collectors or perhaps, the dealers themselves. This version of the Silver Panda coin also attracted the most number of counterfeits.

For Year 2000, there are 2 versions of the Silver Panda. The coin can be distinguished by the obverse of the coin. The ring of the coin as the name suggested was either Frosted or Mirrored, with the Mirrored - the domestic version. Prices have shown that the Mirrored version is the more sought after between the two and most sought of the series.
