China's central bank says it will mark the 30th anniversary of its first commemorative coin with two more coins.
The central bank said Monday that the coins will be issued June 30 to mark the first gold commemorative coin in 1979, which was issued for the 30th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The bank said on its Web site it would issue 10,000 gold coins worth 100 yuan ($14.70) and 300,000 silver coins worth 10 yuan ($1.40).

On one side they will feature the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest in the Temple of Heaven _ a popular tourist spot in Beijing _ and a panda on the other.
