Item details and appraisal notes

The Jilin attribution, Guimao cyclical date and 7 Mace 2 Candareens denomination must be read together on this Guangxu Yuanbao. No Kuping wording is stated, so it must not be imported from the Fengtian Guimao issue.

FeatureWhat to confirm

ProvinceJilin Province
Attribution limitProvince, cyclical date and value identify the general issue, not authenticity or a specialised variety.

Make the Jilin characters unambiguous

Province and date: Frame Jilin, Guimao, Guangxu Yuanbao and the complete border head-on. Use another light angle when patina or wear interrupts a stroke.

Denomination: Keep 7 Mace 2 Candareens visible as one legend and preserve its exact wording. The Fengtian coin cannot supply Kuping here.

Reverse and edge: Show the complete reverse design and work around the circumference in overlapping sections. Measured values are cross-checks rather than attribution by themselves.

Inspect the Jilin coin in three layers

  • Strike and lettering: Compare date characters, province text and reverse relief at the same scale. Separate weak strike from circulation wear and later abrasion.
  • Surface history: Use diffuse light for colour and a shallow beam for hairlines, tooling or earlier cleaning. Leave the silver unchanged.
  • Damage and rim: Map scratches, punch marks, filing, seams, bends and mounting traces to complete views before enlarging them.

Jilin Guimao reading guidance

Consult Guangxu Yuanbao and the Checking a Guangxu Yuanbao: Provincial Mint, Date and Kuping Denomination. Keep Jilin and the exact non-Kuping denomination in control of the comparison.

Preserve the coin and holder

Touch a loose piece only at the edge above a padded work area. A sealed holder should remain intact; any other packaging stays conditionally related unless supported.

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.

Questions sellers often askOpen a question to read the answer

How is Jilin Guimao kept separate from Fengtian Guimao?

Show Jilin Province with the Guimao date and complete 7 Mace 2 Candareens wording. Do not add Kuping from Fengtian.

Which edge photographs are useful?

Use overlapping sections around the full circumference so reeding changes, seams, filing, knocks and mounting traces remain locatable.

Should the silver be cleaned before close photography?

No. Preserve toning, deposits, hairlines and previous cleaning while changing only the light direction.
