China's kilogram Panda series occupies an unusual position in modern bullion: these pieces were never intended to circulate and exist purely as prestige collector items, issued in strictly limited quantities through the People's Bank of China. The 2006 issue arrived during a period when the Chinese mint was aggressively expanding its high-denomination proof program, partly in response to surging domestic collector demand ahead of the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
KM#1662 is among the larger kilogram formats the series produced in the mid-2000s, struck at the Shanghai or Shenyang mint — attribution between the two facilities for specific years remains a point of ongoing collector debate.
