Certified Chinese Panda One Ounce 1992 Small Date MS67 NGC

This 1992 China Silver Panda 10 Yuan coin, graded MS67 by NGC, is a premium example of an early and highly collectible issue within the Chinese Panda series. Featuring the sought-after “Small Date” variety, this coin represents a distinct subtype recognized for its subtle variation in the size and placement of the date. Early 1990s Panda coins are especially desirable due to their lower mintages and growing demand among collectors, making higher-grade examples like this increasingly difficult to source.

The obverse (primary design) displays the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests at the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, a longstanding symbol featured across the Panda series. The surrounding Chinese inscription translates to “People’s Republic of China,” with the date “1992” shown below. The design exhibits crisp architectural detail and strong luster, enhanced by the coin’s well-preserved surfaces.

The reverse showcases a single panda climbing among bamboo branches, a classic and naturalistic depiction that reflects the series’ tradition of annually changing designs. Inscriptions include the denomination “10 Yuan” and the weight and purity “.999 Ag 1 oz.” The detailed engraving and balanced composition highlight both the artistic appeal and intrinsic value of the coin.

With a grade of MS67, this piece offers superior eye appeal, featuring only minor imperfections consistent with a near-gem mint state classification. The combination of an early-date issue, Small Date variety, and strong certified grade makes this coin a compelling addition for collectors seeking quality examples of the iconic Silver Panda series. Its enduring popularity and historical significance continue to support its status in modern numismatics
