2015 1-oz Silver Chinese Panda PCGS MS-70

The 2015 Silver Panda carries the last full troy ounce the series would ever hold, because China moved the Panda to a 30 gram standard the very next year. These are legal tender coins of the People's Republic of China, struck by the China Mint with a face value of 10 Yuan, containing 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver. The examples offered here are certified by PCGS at MS70, the top of the Mint State scale, and ship sealed in the PCGS holder.

The reverse shows a seated giant panda holding a bamboo sprig, set against a grove of bamboo stalks, with the 10 Yuan denomination at the upper right. Frosted relief on the bear plays against a lightly lined field, giving the composition real depth. The obverse presents the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests at the Temple of Heaven in sharp architectural detail, with the Chinese state legend arcing above and the 2015 date below. Strike quality is crisp through the fine lines of the temple roof and the bamboo leaves.

The China Mint gives the Panda a new design every single year, which is why date collectors pursue the series issue by issue rather than treating it as one repeating type, and 2015 holds the added distinction of closing out the one ounce era that began in 1983. Panda planchets are highly reflective and show handling marks easily, so a flawless MS70 survivor is meaningful rather than routine. If you want a certified perfect example of a widely recognized world silver bullion coin, the final one ounce Panda is a sound place to put the money.
