10 Yuan Panda

The 2014 issue falls in the transitional period just before China's mint authorities made a significant policy shift: beginning in 2016, the Panda silver series moved away from fixed face values entirely, with the 10 Yuan denomination replaced by a weight-based designation. This makes the 2014 coin one of the last in the long-running nominal-value format that had defined the series since 1983.

Chinese Panda silvers from this era were struck at multiple facilities — primarily the Shenzhen and Shanghai mints — and coins can sometimes be attributed by subtle differences in field quality and edge treatment, though official mint marks were not used.
