Item details and appraisal notes
This Guizhou automobile silver coin is dated Republic Year 17 (1928), carries a one-yuan value and was made by the Guizhou Provincial Government. The nickname alone is not enough; examine the complete vehicle motif in context. Leave any incomplete inscription unresolved unless another photograph of this coin makes it clear.
Keep both dates, the provincial government and automobile together
| Feature | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Issue | Guizhou automobile silver coin |
| Date | Republic Year 17; 1928 |
| Denomination | One yuan |
| Authority and motif | Guizhou Provincial Government; automobile |
| Evidence boundary | The date, authority, value and vehicle motif do not by themselves establish authenticity or a die subtype. |
Read the automobile coin as one provincial design
Government inscription: Frame the full Guizhou Provincial Government wording with its border and neighbouring characters. Leave any weak authority character unresolved rather than filling it from another issue.
Dates and value: Show Republic Year 17, 1928 and one yuan in uncropped views, then add close details that preserve their surrounding design.
Automobile motif: Photograph the complete vehicle and surrounding devices before enlarging wheels, bodywork or ground lines. Wear and scratches can be mistaken for evidence of a vehicle variety.
Preserve the surface before a die comparison
Use colour-balanced light for toning and raking light for hairlines, tooling or signs of old cleaning. Handle a loose coin only by the edge, keep a grading case closed and link separate packaging only when evidence supports it.

|---|---|

Questions before an appraisal
What should you check before selling?
What matters depends on the item. Photograph both sides, the edge, hallmarks or base marks, and any damage. Include the original box, certificate or weight information where relevant so we can decide whether an in-person inspection is needed.
