China (People's Republic), gold 50 yuan (1/2 oz) Panda, 1998, small date (Shanghai mint), NGC MS 67. KM-1129; PAN-304A. Lowest reported mintage of any year of 50 yuan gold Pandas. Anthony: "1998 has become perhaps the most sought-after year for gold Pandas. All the coins from this year are key coins and the 50 Yuan is considered the rarest of all." Actual mintage just 4,168 across both mints; estimated extant population for this variety
