China (People's Republic), gold 100 yuan (1 oz) Panda, 1993, large date (Shanghai mint), NGC MS 69. KM-477; PAN-189A. A characteristically well-struck issue, "among the best looking Pandas of the decade," according to Anthony, who also says: "Despite a large reported mintage this is a surprisingly hard-to-find coin today … partly because so many were used in jewelry. Another attrition factor was the melting pot." The difference between the small- and large-date varieties is challenging to discern, as the dates themselves are practically the same, so experts must rely on minor differences in the Temple architecture. Mintage for both mints: 35,000 planned, 40,449 actual, with an estimated extant population of <2,750 for this variety. Pedigreed to the Gansu Collection of Chinese Panda Coinage.
