China (People's Republic), gold 50 yuan (1/2 oz) Panda, 1993, small date (Shenyang mint), NGC MS 69. KM-A614; PAN-190B. Only eight higher at MS 70 in the current NGC census for this variety. Anthony: "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." His survival estimate is less than 10%. Mintage for both mints: 35,000 planned, 31,254 actual, with an estimated extant population of <1,750 for this variety. Pedigreed to the Gansu Collection of Chinese Panda Coinage.
