China's Panda bullion series launched in 1982, making 2022 the program's fortieth year — a span during which the design changed almost annually, a deliberate policy by the People's Bank of China to discourage hoarding and encourage active collecting. The 2022 commemorative breaks from the standard annual-issue framework to mark that milestone directly, something the series had not done in the same explicit fashion before.
The KM#2689 reference places this squarely in the commemorative branch of the Panda lineage rather than the standard bullion run, a distinction that affects secondary market pricing considerably.
