| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse features a finely detailed Imperial Chinese dragon in the central field, depicted in frontal view with its body coiled and its head facing forward, surrounded by stylized clouds, flames, and a flaming pearl at the bottom. The dragon, a symbol of imperial authority, is rendered with scaled body, horns, and outstretched claws in a high-relief engraving characteristic of the Tientsin Mint's output. Within a beaded inner border, the upper peripheral legend carries four Chinese characters 光緒年造 (Made in the reign of Guangxu), while the outer legend reads TAI-CHING-TI-KUO SILVER COIN. in Roman letters, encircling the design between the beaded circle and the reeded rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This is the last of the dragon dollars struck at Tianjin before the Qing dynasty collapsed entirely in 1912, produced in the final year of the Guangxu Emperor's reign — though Guangxu himself died in October 1908, almost certainly poisoned, one day before the Empress Dowager Cixi. The timing remains one of the more compelling unsolved questions of late imperial Chinese history. Coins struck that year effectively outlived their issuing authority within months.
Kann 216 is a well-documented type with no significant die varieties of collector consequence, though attribution errors between the Tianjin and other provincial issues are common in the market.
