Except for the 2001 and 2002 editions, the reverse design of the Panda commemorative coin is different. There are one, two, and three pandas on the coin, eating bamboo, climbing, and playing...... The national treasure panda has different shapes, rich forms, and cute appearances. It may seem easy to change the design on the surface of the coin every year, but it has been issued continuously for more than 40 years, and the design on the surface of the coin every year embodies the efforts of many people.
Since 2019, the Panda commemorative coin has started a new decade series, also known as the "Decade of Love" theme, and by the 2024 edition 6 pieces have been issued. From the 2019 version of "The Rebirth of Love", the 2020 version of "The Growth of Love", the 2021 version of "The Care of Love", the 2022 version of "The Companionship of Love", the 2023 version of "The Watch of Love", to the 2024 version of "The Transmission of Love", the story progresses layer by layer, slowly unfolding, interpreting the love between mother and son, the love between brothers and sisters, and the joy of growing up and warm love.
Each Panda commemorative coin condenses a story, and each one is the result of countless revisions and polishing by the designer. I remember that Mr. Tong Fang, the designer of the Panda coin, once shared that the design revision of the 2021 version of the Panda coin lasted almost 10 months, and a total of 65 drafts were revised. Each year, the Panda coins initially attract hundreds of people to create, then sift through layers and then hand them over to different mints to be engraved and minted. Therefore, appreciating, savoring, and exploring the different vintages and varieties of Panda coins also makes the process of collecting them full of fun and meaning.
So, what kind of story will the upcoming 2025 version of the Panda precious metal commemorative coin be? On the eve of the 2025 version of the Panda precious metal commemorative coin about to be revealed, let's take a look back at everyone's conjectures in the process of revealing the secret.
In the first issue, just showing a face, some Tibetan friends guessed that this was a panda mother.
