Zusätzliche Informationen

Historical Context: The 1 Tael coin from Yun-Nan Province dates to a pivotal era of monetary reform and regional autonomy in Chinese history, primarily the late Qing Dynasty and early Republican period. Despite the "People's Republic of China" issuer, these provincial tael issues were historically produced by local mints, particularly in silver-rich Yun-Nan. They served local commerce amidst a fragmented monetary system, often under provincial governors, reflecting regional power dynamics before national coinage standardization.

Artistry: Yun-Nan Tael coin designs blend traditional Chinese iconography with evolving minting practices. The obverse typically features a majestic coiled dragon, a powerful imperial symbol, rendered with varying detail. The reverse displays the denomination and provincial identification
