| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field displays four Chinese ideograms arranged vertically and read top to bottom, right to left, flanked on either side by ornamental floral motifs. Manchu script appears in two columns above the central ideograms, while additional Chinese characters are inscribed below. The overall design is framed within a beaded or dotted border. The inscription collectively reads 'Xuantong Year 3, Great Qing silver currency,' combining both the reign title and denomination identification in a formal imperial style. |

The Xuantong pattern dollars of 1911 were prepared in the final months of a dynasty already collapsing beneath its own contradictions — the Wuchang Uprising began in October of that year, and by February 1912 the Xuantong Emperor had abdicated. These pieces never entered circulation. The long-whiskered dragon variant is one of several competing designs struck as China's reformist officials debated a unified national coinage that the revolution would ultimately prevent anyone from issuing.
The L&M#28 reference places this among a tightly documented handful of pattern types from the Tientsin Mint. Survivors exist in small numbers across a few major collections.
