China's central bank, the People's Bank of China (PBOC), issued a set of commemorative coins featuring giant pandas on Wednesday.
The set has six common coins and eight refined coins. The 14 gold and silver coins that make up the 2023 edition are all legal tender in China.
The obverse side of each coin features the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests at the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, along with the country's name and year of issuance.
All coins feature engravings of giant pandas climbing trees, the coins' weights, and the relative purity of the metal on the reverse side.
One of the refined gold coins, with a diameter of 90 mm, contains 1,000 grams of 99.9% pure gold and bears a denomination of 10,000 yuan ($1,369).
The other gold coins are of denominations between 10 yuan and 2,000 yuan.
The silver coins bear denominations of 10 yuan, 50 yuan, and 300 yuan.
The first batch of precious-metal commemorative panda coins was released by the PBOC on September 15, 1982.
