Between 2018 and 2021, the Chinese Mint released a special coin series that honored early 20th-century Chinese currency. These coins are faithful recreations of historic silver dollars, each featuring a dragon tied to a specific ruling dynasty or region of China. Today, BullionMax offers the 2020 1 oz Chinese Silver Water Dragon Dollar Coin.

The original 1910 Water Dragon Dollar is a standout piece from the late Qing Dynasty. Minted during a time of major change in China, it reflects the country’s journey through modernization and cultural tradition. This coin was more than money—it was a symbol of both history and transformation.

Each 2020 1 oz Chinese Silver Water Dragon Dollar Coin is housed in its own plastic capsule. The Shanghai Mint produced this piece as a restrike, keeping the 1910 coin’s original designs intact.

The obverse side of the coin displays the Water Dragon, a design rooted in Chinese legend. Its swirling lines and flowing form give the dragon a sense of motion, channeling the energy of water while preserving the cultural meaning of dragons as powerful, protective figures.

On the reverse of the 2020 Silver Water Dragon Dollar, you’ll see the same Chinese inscriptions that appeared on the 1910 coin. These marks reflect the influence of international coinage, as many Chinese silver dollars from that period were inspired by the Spanish silver dollars that had circulated in the region for centuries.
