1991 China Piedfort 10th Anniversary Panda 10 Yuan Silver Proof 2oz Coin Box Coa

In 1991 to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the first gold Panda, the Bank of China released a very special Limited Issue Piedfort Panda 10 Ten Yuan Silver Proof Coin struck in solid fine .999 Silver weighing two ounces of fine pure silver.

The reverse design of Panda coins change each year while the obverse design features the Temple of Heaven building in Beijing.
These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.

Piedforts are coins which have been specially struck on thicker than normal blanks.
As their name suggests they are closely associated with France, where from the twelfth century they were apparently issued by the Kings as presentation pieces.
In Britain the practise of striking piedforts is later and less frequent, but medieval and Tudor examples are known.
