The fineness inscription 1/4oz Ag.999 appears in the upper left field, affirming the coin's silver content and weight. The denomination 3元 is inscribed in the lower right field in Chinese numerals, completing the design within a smooth, mirrored inner field. |

| Additional information |
The Chinese Panda series launched in 1982 as part of a deliberate strategy to compete in the international bullion and collector market — the State Council authorized the program explicitly to generate foreign currency reserves. By 2007, the series had accumulated enough collector momentum that the mint issued this commemorative marking its own quarter-century run, an unusual case of a bullion program celebrating its own commercial longevity.
The 3 Yuan denomination is an oddity: not a standard bullion face value, assigned specifically to this commemorative weight class rather than any monetary function.
