From 2018 through 2021, the Chinese Mint released a series celebrating famous vintage silver dollar designs. These coins reflect a key time in Chinese history, when the fall of the imperial system gave way to a new chapter. One of the earliest designs in the collection is the 1890 Kwang-Tung Dollar. Provident Metals now offers the 2020 Chinese Twin Dragon 1 oz Silver Dollar Coin.
Highlights:
These 2020 Chinese Twin Dragon 1 oz Silver Dollar Coins are shipped with protective plastic capsules. The coin is a restrike of the original 1890 Kwang-Tung Dollar, and is part of a broader Chinese Mint collection featuring modern versions of historical silver dollars.
Obverse
On the obverse side of the 2020 Chinese Twin Dragon Silver Dollar Coin, an imperial dragon is featured. This dragon is shown with a flowing body, sharp claws, and a scaly texture. In Chinese culture, the dragon has long stood for strength, leadership, and heavenly rule. This design draws from the rich symbolism and aesthetics of the Qing dynasty.
Reverse
The reverse side of the 2020 Twin Dragon 1 oz Silver Dollar Coin features the same Chinese characters found on the original 1890 Kwang-Tung Dollar. This coin design marked a turning point in Chinas late 19th-century coinage, created in Guangdong province during a time of social and economic change.
History
The Kwang-Tung coin came from a period when regional mints were starting to play a bigger role in currency production. It reflects the shifting structure of imperial China as it faced internal struggles and increasing foreign presence.
