| 表面の説明 | Central field features four large Chinese ideograms arranged top to bottom and right to left, flanking a central panel of Manchu script characters. The entire central device is encircled by a border of additional Chinese ideograms forming the provincial and reign-era inscriptions. The design is executed in a clean, milled style characteristic of late Qing dynasty pattern coinage, with all legends rendered in sharp relief against a flat field. |

| 裏面の説明 | A boldly rendered five-clawed Imperial dragon occupies the central field, depicted in sinuous coiled form with head facing forward, surrounded by stylized clouds and flames. A flaming pearl is shown beneath the dragon's chin at centre. The peripheral legend in Latin characters reads 'SHEN-SI PROVINCE' along the upper arc and '7.2 CANDAREENS' along the lower arc, separated at each side by a small ornamental cross device. The design is framed by a continuous reeded border, and the overall engraving style is consistent with late nineteenth-century Chinese provincial pattern issues produced for official approval. |

Shaanxi (Shensi) Province never operated its own mint capable of striking silver coinage at scale, which is precisely why this piece exists only as a pattern. The 1898 date places it during the chaotic final push by Qing provincial authorities to establish local minting infrastructure — a scramble accelerated by the humiliating terms of the 1895 Treaty of Shimonoseki, which exposed how badly China's monetary system lagged behind its neighbors. Most provincial pattern programs from this window produced a handful of trial pieces before funding collapsed or the project was absorbed by a central authority.
Kann's attribution remains the definitive reference. Survivors are extremely few.
