    I came across this panda coin and can't find it anywhere,I've looked in the pandas buyers guide and mr Ge's book with no luck.

    It's gold 1/10 oz panda .999Au

    With the writing "in commemaration of official opening of yankuang group finance co.ltd." arround the coin.

    I want to find out
    -the year
    -the mintage

    No idea what that is, but since Steve is selling it I assume it's real Gold.

    Given he has called it Panda round that means it is not a coin nor a medal so a 3rd party mint may have made the coin.

    Every panda has the yuan denomination on it.
    So this is clearly not from the shanghai or shenyang/shenzen mint.

    Not every Panda. There are Panda medals (such as Munich, ANA, Hong Kong, New York Expo etc) which have no $ denomination but are valid Pandas.

    I've never seen this one before. But the Chinese mints have made hundreds, possibly thousands, of private issues. They are a weird category of made-by-official-mint-but-not-official-mint-products.

    If that's the case here, the grading companies don't recognize them without some sort of proof that they are official products.

    I might sent the company a email asking them if they know anything about it.
