2023 30 Gram Chinese Silver Panda – Glowing Galaxy

A Silver Panda Painted With a Galaxy

The 2023 30 Gram Chinese Silver Panda Glowing Galaxy starts as China’s 2023 30 gram silver Panda. A private mint later painted both sides with a deep space scene, added stars that glow in the dark, and numbered each coin. It holds 0.9645 troy ounce of .999 fine silver, measures 40 mm across, and carries the original 10 Yuan denomination. The edition is limited to 500.

 

Two Panda Cubs Among the Planets

The 2023 Panda design shows two panda cubs at play. On this edition, the color covers the field, so the cubs read as fine silver outlines drawn over a galaxy. One cub sits at the lower left looking out, and the other leans in from above. Around them, a red planet curves across the bottom, a banded planet hangs at the top left, and a bright star bursts between the two cubs. 30g Ag.999 and the 10 Yuan mark show faintly through the color, and a small serial number sits at the right.

 

The Temple of Heaven, Framed in Silver

The other side keeps its outer ring in plain silver, with the name of the People’s Republic of China in Chinese characters above and 2023 below. Inside the ring, the Temple of Heaven stands as a silver outline over the same galaxy. Planets and shooting stars fill the sky behind it.

 

Turn Off the Lights

In the dark, the painted stars on the panda side glow. The cubs fade into the background, and the starfield takes over, with the brightest burst between the two cubs. Charge it under a lamp for a few minutes before you switch off the light.

 

What You Are Buying

The silver is the same as in a plain 2023 Panda. The price reflects the painting, the glow, the serial number, and the edition of 500. The color was added after the Chinese mint struck the coin, by a private company, so it is not an official Chinese release in this form. The paint sits on the surface, so handle the coin by the edge and keep it protected between viewings.

Glowing Galaxy Panda FAQ

 

Did the Chinese mint add the color?

No. The coin was struck in China as a standard 2023 30 gram Panda. A private mint added the color, the glow, and the serial number later.

 

What glows in the dark?

The painted stars on the panda side. The bright star between the two cubs is the strongest.

 

Is my coin numbered?

Yes. Each coin carries its own serial number on the panda side. The number in our photo will not match yours.

 

Why are the pandas only outlines?

The color covers the flat field of the coin. The cubs stand slightly raised in the silver, so their edges catch the light as outlines.

 

How much silver is in it?

0.9645 troy ounce, which is 30 grams of .999 fine silver.
