| Additional information |
The 10-kilogram gold panda-series lunar issues have been produced by the China Mint in limited quantities since the lunar commemorative program expanded in scale during the 2000s. At this weight and diameter, striking uniform relief across the full planchet requires extraordinary press tonnage, and surface consistency on these pieces is notoriously difficult to achieve — the China Mint has never publicly disclosed exact mintage figures for the largest denominations, but independent estimates for 10kg lunar issues place production in the low double digits.
