| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed naturalistic scene depicting an adult giant panda and its cub in close companionship, evoking a theme of intergenerational bond described as a continuation of parental love — the adult panda having been depicted as a cub on the 2019 issue of this series. The figures are rendered in high relief with delicate frosted surfaces contrasting against a mirror-polished field. The denomination 10 元 appears in the lower field, accompanied by the inscriptions 30g and Ag.999 denoting the coin's metallic weight and fineness. The design conveys warmth and naturalism consistent with the long-running Chinese Panda bullion coin artistic tradition. |

| Additional information |
China's Panda silver bullion series has run continuously since 1983, making it one of the longest-running annual bullion programs in the world — but the design changes every year without exception, a deliberate policy that drives collector demand and secondary market premiums far above melt value. The People's Bank of China controls mintage figures closely and does not always publish final numbers promptly.
The 30g/.999 standard was adopted in 2016, replacing the previous 1 troy ounce specification — a metrication shift that briefly disrupted the series' compatibility with Western bullion portfolios.
