The original coin was made at the Kiangnan mint during the Qing Dynasty and is noted for its special dragon design.

Obverse

On the obverse of the 2018 restrike, youll see the 1904 image of the Kiangnan dragon. This version of the dragon has a more rounded, compact appearance than other dragons seen on coins from different provinces. It includes expressive features like heavy eyebrows and a coiled body, along with five claws that symbolize imperial authority.

Reverse

The reverse includes traditional Chinese script based on the original 1904 coin. These inscriptions mention the emperor of the time and specify the coins weight according to older standards.

History

The silver dollars produced at the Kiangnan mint from 1897 to 1905 had small variations over time. Differences in the shape of the dragons face or the arrangement of its scales are subtle ways collectors can distinguish one years issue from another.
