Description from the seller

10 yuan coin 1984, difficult to find as it is one of the first three silver pandas, issued in 1983, 1984, and 1985 as test pieces in 0.900 fine silver with a diameter of 38.6 mm and a weight of 27.1 grams. Each has a mintage of 10,000 units. At the time, this was a suitable mintage for a collectible item of this nature, but today, such numbers are clearly insufficient, especially considering that current editions are issued in the millions. Additionally, the 10,000 pieces issued in each year have not all survived in good condition. When considering the various ways to collect them (including their minor variants), their price typically ranges in the several thousands of euros, more or less depending on their presentation and preservation. They are by no means the rarest pandas, but they can be considered among the most sought after in any major collection.

The coin to send is the one in the photo that shows considerable deterioration in the image of the pandas.

It will be sent by certified and insured mail with a tracking number.
Any customs duty will be the buyer's responsibility.
