Item details and appraisal notes
This Great Qing silver coin is identified by three linked details: the Hubei Mint wording, Xuantong Year 3 and a 10-cent denomination. Each must be visible on the same coin. A provincial name, reign year or value taken from a neighbouring issue would weaken rather than support the attribution.
Keep Hubei Mint, Xuantong Year 3 and 10 cents together
| Feature | What to verify |
|---|---|
| Issue | Great Qing silver coin |
| Date | Xuantong Year 3 |
| Denomination | 10 cents, or one jiao |
| Mint wording | Hubei Mint |
| Evidence boundary | Mint, date and value establish the stated issue, but they do not by themselves prove authenticity or a minor variety. |
Match the mint wording to the correct face
Hubei Mint inscription: Show the complete mint characters with their neighbouring border and design. Do not substitute Hubei Province wording from a different dragon dollar.
Year and value: Photograph Xuantong Year 3 and the full 10-cent legend at readable scale, pairing each close view with its uncropped face. No Gregorian year or weight-standard prefix is stated.
Reverse design and edge: Capture the entire opposing design before working around the circumference in overlapping sections. Safe physical readings can test consistency but cannot override an inscription.
Protect the coin while testing the attribution
Use diffuse light for overall colour and angled light for relief, hairlines and tooling. Hold a loose piece by its edge, keep a graded holder sealed and leave toning or old cleaning untouched.
A three-stage photographic sequence
- Complete faces: Begin with square, colour-balanced images that keep the legends, rims and denticles intact.
- Inscription details: Add matched-scale views of Hubei Mint, Xuantong Year 3 and the 10-cent value without digitally rebuilding weak strokes.
- Circumference and size: Finish with a continuous edge series and instrument photographs whose units and measuring points are visible.

Xuantong identification route
Open Xuantong Yuanbao and consult Xuantong Yuanbao: Inscriptions, Design, Weight and Edge. Comparison may help with light and camera angle, while the Hubei Mint and 10-cent legends remain decisive for this item.
Share the paired mint, date and value views with About Gu Jin Jian Bao | Collection Enquiries, WhatsApp +852 9834 2057 or Phone 852-9834-2057. Mention any holder that blocks the rim, and avoid opening it merely to obtain another measurement.
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.
