Item details and appraisal notes
This one-yuan Great Qing silver coin combines Xuantong Year 3, 1911 and a Reverse Dragon designation. The date pair, denomination and reverse orientation must all be demonstrated on this piece. Long-Whiskered and Curved-Whisker dragons are separate proposed types, not interchangeable labels.
Prove the Reverse Dragon identity beyond the name
| Feature | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Issue | Great Qing one-yuan silver coin |
| Date | Xuantong Year 3; 1911 |
| Denomination | One yuan |
| Stated design | Reverse Dragon |
| Evidence boundary | The design label requires visible orientation and die features; it does not guarantee authenticity. |
Anchor the reverse orientation to complete views
Date face: Show Xuantong Year 3 and 1911 with the full border and adjacent inscriptions. Both forms of the date should remain readable at the same image scale.
One-yuan face: Keep the complete denomination and principal design together. Any enlarged character needs an uncropped view that fixes its position.
Reverse Dragon evidence: Photograph the entire dragon composition before isolating the feature that establishes the reverse orientation. Glare, image rotation or later damage must be ruled out.
Test the design claim in three linked areas
- Orientation and layout:
- Compare the dragon's direction with the surrounding text, rim and motifs rather than viewing a cropped dragon alone.
- Relief and dies:
- Study scales, claws, whiskers, fields and border details under matched illumination, keeping wear separate from an original die characteristic.
- Edge and surface:
- Photograph the circumference in order and preserve toning, hairlines, contact marks and old cleaning. A loose coin may be measured without abrasive handling.
Protect the coin while checking orientation
Use a fixed camera position and rotate the support rather than scraping the coin across a surface. Leave a certified holder closed and treat loose packaging as conditionally associated.

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.
