2016 30 gram China Panda .999 Silver Coin
The **2016 Chinese Silver Panda Coin** is a 30 gram .999 fine silver bullion coin issued by the China Gold Coin Inc. (CGCI) mint of the People's Republic of China. A bold new move by the China mint removes the ounce weight of their silver pandas and replaces it with a 30 g weight instead - this is a first for the series, likely an effort to get the remainder of the world to move away fro the troy ounce as a standard weight for bullion coins. The obverse of this 30g silver coin features the Beijing Temple of Heaven and the date of mintage, 2016. The reverse of the 2016 Chinese Silver Panda Coin is the iconic playful panda figure hugging a tree branch with bamboo shoots in the background. For maximum protection and preservation, each coin is sealed in its own, individual original plastic capsule from the mint.
