China (People's Republic), gold 5 yuan (1/20 oz) Panda, 1994, large date (Shanghai mint), NGC MS 70 ("top pop"). KM-611; PAN-215A. One of only 62 pieces at MS 70 in the current NGC census. Anthony: "Despite a large reported mintage this is a surprisingly hard-to-find coin today. This is partly because so many were used in jewelry. Another attrition factor was the melting pot as there were few collectors for this size Panda when it was new. This was also a time period when many other series of Chinese coins were in the spotlight and collectors, or even hoarders, for this coin were few." Mintage for both mints: 100,000 planned; 133,226 actual; estimated extant population for this variety <3,600. Pedigreed to the Gansu Collection of Chinese Panda Coinage.
