Description
D:3.9cm (1.54in) Weight:27g (0.06lb)This silver coin was minted in the 3rd year of Xuantong (1911) as one of several proposed pattern coins for the Qing government's currency reform. The obverse features "Great Qing Silver Coin" in the center, with Manchu characters above and "Xuantong 3rd Year" below. The reverse depicts the "Long Whisker Dragon" design, with the denomination "??" in the center and "ONE DOLLAR" below. Produced only in small quantities as a pattern coin, it is extremely rare and one of the most prestigious rarities among late Qing Dynasty machine-struck coins.
