For the obverse of 2020 1 oz Silver Kwang-Tung Dragon Dollars, the mint features an imperial dragon design. This dragon design features an intricate, serpentine imperial dragon that symbolizes power, nobility, and celestial authority in traditional Chinese iconography. Meticulously crafted with scales, claws, and dynamic movement, the dragon writhes across the coin’s surface, embodying the imperial Qing dynasty’s philosophical and aesthetic sensibilities.

In the reverse design of the 2020 Chinese Silver Kwang-Tung Dragon Dollar Coin, you will find the Chinese characters from the original 1890 coin design. The 1890 Kwang-Tung Dragon Dollar represents a pivotal moment in late Qing dynasty coinage, minted in the Guangdong province during a period of significant economic and political transformation.

The Kwang-Tung silver coin emerged at a time when regional mints were gaining increasing autonomy in producing currency, reflecting the complex political landscape of imperial China as it struggled with internal challenges and foreign influences.

These 2020 1 oz Chinese Silver Kwang-Tung Dragon Dollar Coins are available with protective plastic capsules. The coins are restrikes of the original 1890 Kwang-Tung Dollar and were issued by the Chinese Mint as part of a broader collection of modern restrikes featuring historic Chinese silver dollar designs.
