The original 1911 Tientsin Chinese Type II Silver Dragon Dollar was produced during the final years of the Qing Dynasty, a time marked by major change. This historic coin was struck at the Tientsin Mint and captures the skill and detail found in silver coinage from that era, reflecting the shifting political and cultural climate in China at the time.

Each 2018 1 oz Chinese Silver Tientsin Dragon Dollar Coin listed here comes in a plastic capsule and originates from a limited run of only 5,000 coins. The design is a restrike of the original 1911 piece, showing how traditional Chinese symbols began to merge with Western design influences that were becoming more common in Chinese currency during that period.

The obverse of the 2018 coin features the dragon design taken from the original 1911 issue. This dragon is shown with a flowing, sinuous body and bold, striking features. The design follows the traditional imperial dragon style used in China, representing authority, power, and a connection to the heavens.

On the reverse of the 2018 1 oz Silver Tientsin Dragon Dollar Coin, you’ll see Chinese characters that also appeared on the original coin. Each coin in this vintage collection includes laser-etched markings along the rim, a unique feature added by the Chinese Mint.
