China first began minting Silver Panda coins in 1983. However, between 1983-1985 only proof quality Silver Panda Coins were produced. These coins also differed from later versions by being just 27 grams of .900 fine silver. Mintages for these years were capped at 10,000. From 1986 to present, Silver Panda Coins were 1 troy ounce, or 31.1 grams of .999 pure silver.

Collector Notes
The Chinese Silver Panda is a favorite among collectors, and many specific Silver Panda coins command a substantial premium over the spot price of silver. There are a number of factors that impact the collectability of Silver Panda coins including year, design, mintage, proof, gold plated/gilded, colored, and privy marks. For example, annual mintages of Chinese Silver Pandas before 2010 were well under 1 million. In fact, certain years in the 1990s had mintages that were just 100,000. 1997 had the lowest annual mintage with just 50,000 silver Pandas minted. The paucity of Chinese Silver Pandas minted in certain years have made them desirable collectibles. It should be noted that since 2010, annual Chinese Silver Panda mintage has exceeded the 1 million mark, hitting 6 million in 2011.
