Each 2019 1 oz Chinese Silver Chihli Dragon Dollar Coin is a restrike of a historic coin with an acrylic capsule for delivery. The coins had a limited mintage and reflect the original designs of the 1903 Chinese Silver Chihli Dollar Coin.

The 1903 Chinese Silver Chihli Dollar stands as a remarkable testament to the monetary systems of late Qing Dynasty provincial mints. Originating from the Chihli province (modern-day Hebei), this coin reflects the decentralized minting practices of the era, where provincial authorities often produced their own distinctive currency. 

The obverse of 2019 Chinese Silver Chihli Dragon Dollars features the image of a dragon. The dragon design on the 1903 Chihli Silver Dollar is a stunning exemplar of early 20th-century Chinese coin engraving. Rendered with meticulous attention to detail, the dragon appears powerful and serpentine, twisting across the coin’s surface with a sense of dynamic movement that captures the essence of traditional Chinese mythological iconography. 

On the reverse side of the 2019 1 oz Silver Chihli Dragon Dollar Coins, you will find the inscriptions from the original coin. The original 1903 coin represented a unique moment in time, showcasing both traditional Chinese craftsmanship in coin designs with beautiful strikes that showcased emerging minting technologies of the era.
