拍品描述： China (Peoples Republic), gold 20 yuan (1/20 oz) Panda, 2002, mirrored bamboo (Shanghai mint), NGC MS 69 ("top pop"). KM-1366; PAN-353A. One of only seven at this top grade in the current NGC census specifically for this variety (but many more at MS 70 without specified variety). All the MS gold of 2002 are scarce, and 2002 is a key year in general (in fact the only year to repeat the design from the previous year, albeit with a new edge-reeding that is diagonal instead of vertical). The "mirrored bamboo" versions, referring to branch tips at the rim, are accompanied by a lower neckline on the panda and indicate Shanghai mint; the "frosted bamboo" versions come from the Shenzen mint. Mintage for both mints: 200,000 planned; 74,601 actual; estimated extant (both varieties) <5,700. Pedigreed to the Gansu Collection of Chinese Panda Coinage.
