At that time, several patterns were trial-minted, including the long-whiskered dragon, short-whiskered dragon, reverse S-shaped dragon, large-tailed dragon, and curved-whiskered dragon. After strict review by the Qing court, it was ultimately believed that the\"Curved-Whiskered Dragon\"design was the most majestic and dignified, with a harmonious cloud pattern layout, best representing the royal authority and national image. Therefore, the curved-whiskered dragon became the only version of the Great Qing Silver Coin approved for large-scale minting and circulation, becoming the core physical evidence in China's currency unification process of\"abolishing taels and adopting yuan.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4 data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eGuide to Identifying Authentic Xuantong Three-Year Great Qing Silver Coins (Analysis of Curved-Whiskered Dragon Features)\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eAs the\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"2\" data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eprices for antique coin Buyback\u003c\/b\u003erise year by year, many high-quality counterfeits have also appeared on the market.
