In 2018, the Chinese Mint launched an eight-coin series honoring historic silver dollar designs. The first of the designs to feature in this series was the Kiangnan Dragon, with the restrike silver dollar replicating the appearance of the 1904 Kiangnan Chinese Silver Dragon Dollar. Right now, 2018 1 oz Chinese Silver Kiangan Dragon Dollar Coins are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each of the 2018 1 oz Chinese Silver Kiangnan Dragon Dollar Coins offered here is packaged in a protective plastic capsule. This coin is a restrike of the original 1904 Kiangnan Chinese Silver Dollar, featuring its original design concepts. The 1904 Kiangnan Chinese Silver Dollar stands as one of the most coveted coins among numismatists specializing in Asian currency. Minted during the late Qing Dynasty at the Kiangnan provincial mint, these silver dollars feature a distinctive dragon design.
The Kiangnan dragon variant issued on the original silver dollars evolved through several design modifications during the Kiangnan mint’s operation between 1897 and 1905, with subtle changes in the dragon’s facial expression and scale pattern allowing experts to differentiate between yearly issues.
The obverse of the 2018 Chinese Silver Kiangnan Dragon Dollar features the 1904 image of the dragon representing the Kiang Nan province. The Kiangnan dragon design represents a unique regional interpretation of Chinese imperial dragon imagery, distinctive for its somewhat stockier build and rounded features compared to dragons depicted on other provincial coinage. It is also characterized by its pronounced eyebrows, a sinuous form, and its five claws signifying imperial authority.
On the reverse of 2018 1 oz Silver Kiangnan Dragon Dollar Coins, you’ll find Chinese character inscriptions from the original 1904 dollar. Among the inscriptions on this side are the name of the reigning emperor at the time and the traditional weight of the 1904 coin.
