2003 5 oz Silver Panda

In 2003, the People's Bank of China decided to re-issue 5 oz Silver Panda coins. This time, the design for the 5 oz Silver Panda is same as its 1 oz version except that it is proof struck.

2006 5 oz Silver Panda

The 2006 5 oz Silver Panda is the fourth year of issue of the 5 oz Silver Panda. For this year, there is a new packaging for the coin.

Commemorative 5 oz Silver Panda for the 30th Anniversary Issuance of Chinese Panda Gold Coin

The People's Bank of China marks the 30th Anniversary of Issuance of the Chinese Panda Gold Coin with a series of gold and and silver commemorative Panda coins.

This 5 oz Silver Panda is one of the Panda coins issued by People's Bank of China and minted by Shanghai Mint. While it has the highest mintage that 5 oz Silver Panda coins ever had at 30,000, it is still lower than the 50,000 regular 5 oz Silver Panda that is issued for 2012.

Inner Case

The Certificate of Authenticity (COA) for 2012 Panda coins has been given a new design. Instead of a single slip of water-marked paper, it is now a cover with a hole specially designed to show the picture of the Temple of Heaven. Such a design will definitely increase the cost of production for counterfeit crooks.
