Obverse

The obverse of the 2019 Silver Long-Whiskered Dragon Dollar is based on the original artwork from the 1911 Chinese Silver Hsuan-tung Dollar. The design features a dragon with long, flowing whiskers, symbolizing wisdom, power, and a celestial connection. These qualities are often associated with dragons in Chinese folklore, and this detailed design reflects that cultural meaning with great care.

Reverse

On the reverse, the coin includes Chinese text that was found on the original issue in 1911. This coin was first minted under the rule of the Xuantong Emperor, also known as Puyi, who was the final ruler of the Qing Dynasty. His reign marked the end of imperial leadership in China.

History

When it was first introduced, the Hsuan-tung Silver Dollar stood for more than its value. It became a reminder of a historic turning point, representing the shift from the imperial system to a new political direction in Chinas long history.
