Never seen bullion platinum with purity declared on the metal higher than 9995. 9999 and 99999 sounds too good to be true. JMO edited to add: not clicking the link

Thanks for mentioning Peter Anthony: The Gold and Silver Panda Coin Buyer’s Guide by Peter Anthony is a comprehensive reference book that is a must-have for any serious Panda collector.

Got 1, too.

I have all the 1 Troy ounce PL bullion gold Pandas from 1982 thru 2015 (including 1987 - 3 mint marks - S, Y & P and 2001 no & D mint marks). I quit collecting the series when China Mint went metric starting 2016 to 30 grams instead of Troy ounce. To avoid high premium old issues going back to 1982, I suggest starting your collection from 2016 (when they went metric). Good luck on your starting a gold Panda collection. Here’s a brochure picture showing 1982 thru 2016 designs...

1923 Germany Notgeld Rhine-Ruhr 50, 100, and 500 Million Mark Things were very grim in Germany. War, human atrocities, ruthless dictators, crushing defeats, and financial collapse plagued the nation. German cities issued their own coinage since the imperial coins were completely worthless. It was an emergency and replacement money was needed. That's what notgeld means: emergency money. This piece of notgeld from the Rhine-Ruhr region is particularly gruesome. The coin was struck at 33 mm in diameter, designed by the famous German medalist Karl Goetz. Greek god Prometheus appears on the obverse, chained to a rock with an eagle eating his liver as part of his eternal punishment by Zeus. On the reverse a child appears in an eternal flame. There are incused letter on edge: NOTGELD. There are three denominations of the Rhine-Ruhr notgeld: 50 million mark -- brass 100 million mark -- white metal or silvered bronze 500 million mark -- gilded metal I own a full set of 3, plus an additional 2 - 500 million mark coins for a whopping 1.65 billion marks. To put it in relatable context: by late November 1923, one US Dollar was equal to 4.21 trillion marks.
