From 2018 to 2021, the Chinese Mint issued a commemorative lineup of gold and silver coins reflecting the artistry of early 20th-century Chinese money. These pieces often mirror the design of historical silver dollars, with each dragon image representing a specific emperor’s rule or a particular Chinese province. Today, 2020 1 oz Chinese Silver Shih Kay Flying Dragon Dollar Coins are available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The 1916 Flying Dragon Dollar emerges from a period of profound political transformation, minted during the early years of the Republic of China when the imperial system had recently collapsed. This coin represents a numismatic bridge between traditional imperial iconography and the emerging modern nation-state, featuring a dramatically posed dragon that seems to soar across the coin’s surface with a sense of dynamic movement and national aspiration.
All 2020 1 oz Chinese Silver Shih Kai Flying Dragon Dollar Coins offered here come with individual plastic capsules. The coins are part of the Chinese Mint’s celebration of historic dragon dollar designs, with this particular coin being among the first to arise from the new Republic of China following the fall of China’s imperial system.
On the obverse of 2020 Chinese Silver Shih Kai Flying Dragon Dollars, you’ll find a bust of Yuan Shih-kai. Shih-kai was a pivotal and controversial figure in early 20th-century Chinese history, a powerful military and political leader who played a crucial role in the transition from imperial rule to the Republic of China. Initially a key supporter of the Qing dynasty, he later negotiated with revolutionary forces, ultimately becoming the first president of the Republic in 1912.
The reverse of 2020 1 oz Silver Shih Kai Flying Dragon Dollar Coins depicts a dragon in flight. This design on the 1916 Flying Dollar is a spectacular representation of motion and power, depicting the imperial dragon in mid-flight with wings spread and body undulating, seemingly captured in a moment of dynamic suspension. This design breaks from more static earlier representations, symbolizing the nation’s desire for progress, transformation, and freedom during a period of significant political and social upheaval.
