China (People's Republic), gold 10 yuan (1/10 oz) Panda, 2000, mirrored ring (Shanghai mint), NGC MS 69. KM-1304; PAN-329B. Key coin with very low population estimate. In this year the differentiation between mints is made by the version of the outer ring; mirrored means Shanghai and frosted means Shenyang (none made at Shenzen Guobao). The mirrored-ring Pandas were intended for distribution only in China, hence they are all somewhat rare outside that country. Actual mintage for both mints: 44,511; estimated extant population for this variety
