| Additional information |
The 1989 issue falls in the middle of a turbulent period for the Panda series, which had launched in 1982 primarily as a foreign exchange earner during China's post-Mao economic opening. By 1989, these coins were being absorbed almost entirely by Western collectors and bullion investors — almost none entered domestic circulation. The events of June 4th that year had no direct effect on mintage, but export disruptions in the months following Tiananmen briefly tightened availability in European and American dealer channels, creating a short-lived pricing anomaly that has since normalized.
The 5-troy-ounce format was introduced to compete directly with established sovereign bullion products at the premium end of the market.
