Beschrijving keerzijde A sinuous imperial dragon in high relief dominates the field, depicted coiling to the left with its head oriented left, and a flaming pearl positioned near the base. The dragon is rendered in the late Qing imperial style with fine scale detail, four clawed feet, and surrounded by stylized clouds. Two large Chinese ideograms reading 壹圓 (One Yuan) occupy the central field within the dragon's coils. An English legend arcs along the lower periphery, and the entire design is enclosed within a beaded border.

Aanvullende informatie

Xuantong's third and final regnal year produced what became effectively the last imperial dollar of China. The Qing court had spent the preceding decade attempting to centralize and rationalize a chaotic provincial minting system, and this issue — struck at the Tientsin Central Mint — was part of that consolidation effort. The revolution came anyway. By October 1911, the Wuchang Uprising had begun, and within months the dynasty was finished.

Surviving examples frequently show signs of minimal circulation, the political collapse having interrupted normal distribution.
