| Additional information |
China's kilogram Panda silver coins have been struck annually since the series expanded to include large-format bullion issues, but the 300 Yuan denomination specifically reflects a pricing convention tied to face value floors required under Chinese financial regulations for legal tender bullion — a bureaucratic artifact more than a monetary reality. No one spends these. The 2021 issue was produced at the Shanghai and Shenzhen mints, both of which strike Panda bullion under contract for the People's Bank.
Mintage figures for kilogram Pandas are not publicly disclosed with precision, though independent dealer tracking suggests annual runs rarely exceed a few thousand pieces globally.
