What do we pay for a palladium Panda?
Based on the palladium rate of this moment, €33.93 per gram of fine material. As of:
| Variant | Fine palladium | Total weight | We pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 oz | 31.104 g | — | €1,034.26 |
| 1/2 oz | 15.552 g | — | €517.13 |
This price applies regardless of the year and the mint. With a rare year or exceptional condition the collector’s value can be higher than the material value – then we say so, even if that means you are better off not selling us the coin.
How we arrive at this amount
A coin is precious metal in a recognisable shape. What it fetches therefore depends almost entirely on the fine weight: the weight of pure palladium it contains.
This coin is 999‰ pure, so the fine weight and the total weight are almost the same.
A rare Panda: the ounce appeared in 1989, the half ounce in 2004 and 2005, and never again after that.
Not sure whether your coin is genuine? We check weight, diameter, thickness and – if in doubt – the density with X-ray analysis. Non-destructive: your coin stays intact.

Three years, two sizes
Of the four precious metals, palladium is the one least used for the Panda. In 1989 an ounce appeared with a face value of 50 yuan. In 2004 and 2005 a half ounce of 100 yuan followed, each time with a different panda design. After that it went quiet.
Metal value and collector’s value
We pay on the palladium: 31.1035 grams for the ounce and half that for the half ounce, against the palladium rate of the moment.
Mintages were small, which makes the palladium Panda interesting to collectors. We always pay the palladium value. Any collector’s value is assessed by the valuer at the table; we promise nothing for it in advance.
How to sell your palladium Panda
From walking in to being paid usually takes less than half an hour.
Do not polish it
With collector coins, cleaning can push the value down considerably. A natural patina belongs to them.

Questions about selling palladium Panda
How much palladium is in a palladium Panda?
The 1989 coin contains a troy ounce, 31.1035 grams of palladium. The coins of 2004 and 2005 contain half an ounce, about 15.55 grams. Both are struck in 999 palladium.
Why does the smaller coin have a higher face value?
Because China sets face values per series, not per weight. The 1989 ounce carried 50 yuan, the half ounce of 2004 and 2005 100 yuan. For the price only the palladium counts.
How can I tell it is palladium and not silver?
By eye they look alike. The weight differs: palladium is denser than silver, so at the same size the coin weighs more. The metal is stated on the coin as well. The valuer confirms it with an X-ray measurement.
Do I need to make an appointment?
We recommend it, so the valuer has time for you. The valuation is free and without obligation at all 45 of our locations.
