The Chinese Silver Panda is a bullion coin minted in the People's Republic of China. It's a very nice gift to collect or give as a gift, highly sought after.
They were first produce as .900 silver, 27 grams, mintage was 10,000 each year.
Now they are .999 silver, 30 grams, ( 1oz is 31.1 grams ).
Chinese mints don't have any mintmarks, so therefore can't distinguish their origin.
The coins are available in sizes ranging from 1/4 oz to 1kg, 1 kilogram is equal to approximately 32 pieces of 1 ounce coins. That is indeed one big coin.
At this moment some older proof panda are worth up to $15.000.
Non proof can be worth about $3.000.
I'm tryin to get a 1/10 oz gold coin, but now it's so expensive and the premium is too. So I am deciding to get some silver coins instead. This way I can save some money and get more silver bullion. I really believe that silver is going to be really bullish.
Apparently there are three varieties in certain years from each of the three major Chinese mints. The differences are very subtle. Oh, how I wish I had a copy of the Panda Coin guide (Written in Chinese).

Happy to hear from you. Its funny you mentioned the varieties, I only realized when I did my blogging. I noticed the temple has 7 characters on top. The other ones have words on bottom and top !
Pandas are great coins.
A very pretty gift!
