Brief History
Chinese Silver Pandas' brief history has a rocky start. Up until 1989, the Chinese Silver Panda was only minted in Shanghai, but as their popularity grew, production was expanded. By the end of the 1990s, the Chinese Silver Panda was minted in Shanghai, Shenzhen and Shenyang. Through the first decade of the new century, production of the signature Chinese silver coins has grown to meet increased demand. In 2006, a large number of counterfeit Chinese Silver Pandas appeared on the market. To tell if one is a counterfeit, look for the denomination on the coin: a counterfeit will not typically bear a denomination.
