Within the world of Chinese commemorative coins of precious metals, the least-regarded yet most influential and compelling of all collector coins for investment is the panda coin. The essence of its appeal is not easily understood by the average coin collector. Within Chinese platinum coins, the panda coin also commands such special quality that appears simple yet very remarkable.

The platinum panda coins in fact represent the core of all Chinese platinum coins, especially the most inconspicuous 1/20 ounce "mini panda" (Years 1993, 1994, 1995, 1997). Basically all are rare finds in decent condition and to collect all 21 platinum panda coins is a difficult task to accomplish even if money isn't an issue.
