Sichuan Province Xuantong Yuanbao Kuping 7 Fen 2 Li: Basic Specifications and Anti-Counterfeiting Features

For coin collectors and investors, a deep understanding of the Sichuan Province Xuantong Yuanbao Kuping 7 Fen 2 Li variant characteristics is central to assessing its value. This silver coin, which circulated as a subsidiary coin (commonly known as a "jiao" or "small hao") in the late Qing Dynasty, is rare in well-preserved condition due to its short mintage period. The following are the standard physical specifications for this silver coin, which can help with preliminary Sichuan Xuantong Yuanbao authenticity identification:

Specification Item	Detailed Parameters and Feature Description
Mintage Year	Xuantong Reign of the Qing Dynasty (1909 - 1911 AD)
Standard Denomination	Kuping 7 Fen 2 Li (approximately equivalent to a "jiao" subsidiary coin at the time)
Material and Fineness	Silver-copper alloy, silver content approximately 70% - 75% (due to slight fluctuations in mintage standards across provinces in the late Qing Dynasty)
Reference Weight	Approximately 2.6g - 2.7g (actual weight may be slightly lower due to historical circulation wear)
Reference Diameter	Approximately 18.5mm - 19mm
Obverse Design	Manchu and Chinese characters "Xuantong Yuanbao" within a beaded circle, "Sichuan Province Made" engraved on the upper rim, "Kuping 7 Fen 2 Li" engraved on the lower rim
Reverse Motif	Classic Manchu coiled dragon pattern (dragon image) in the center, encircled by English letters and star ornaments
Edge Milling Characteristics	Commonly straight milled edge with even spacing, an important consideration for authenticating old silver dollars

Three Core Factors Affecting the Buyback Price of Sichuan Xuantong 7 Fen 2 Li

In the current Qing Dynasty Sichuan silver dollar buyback market, the price of the same Sichuan Xuantong 7 Fen 2 Li coin can vary by several or even dozens of times. Professional old silver dollar patination authentication and condition grading are key to determining the final appraisal:

Variant and Detail Differences (Rarity) The Sichuan Mint's dies were slightly adjusted during the Xuantong reign, leading to different variants in the market. For example, "thick character" and "thin character" versions of the obverse text, the depth of the dragon scales on the reverse dragon image, and whether there are errors or missing letters in the English text, all directly affect its rarity. Special variants are often sought after by high-end collectors.
Original Luster and Patina Condition (Historical Traces) The natural oxidation marks on the coin's surface over time are known as "patina." Silver coins with a natural, even "rainbow patina" or "original black lacquer patina" have more market value than those that have been chemically cleaned (stripped or brightened). Top-condition coins with their original "mint luster" are extremely rare and highly prized.
Striking Pressure and Wear (Condition Assessment) The striking pressure varied among mints in the late Qing Dynasty. A Sichuan Xuantong silver coin with high value must exhibit "sharp striking" characteristics—meaning the obverse characters are clear and raised, and the reverse dragon scales, horns, and cloud details are full and distinct without blurring. If circulation wear is severe, causing the dragon scales to be flattened, its Qing Dynasty small hao silver coin buyback price will be significantly reduced. For high-grade coins graded by international authoritative institutions like PCGS or NGC, the premium is even more substantial.
