China (People's Republic), silver 10 yuan (1 oz) Panda, 1995, short twig, micro date, NGC MS 69, ex-Gansu. KM-732.2; PAN-248C. A product of the Shenyang Mint with short twig in the Panda's grasp and a noticeably very small date on the other side (stated on the label as "small date"); Anthony calls the micro dates "among the rarest coins in the entire silver series." Brilliant, prooflike fields and frosty design elements. Unknown mintage planned; estimated extant population for this variety
