It belongs to the "Xuantong Yuanbao" series of silver coins. This specific silver coin was minted during the Xuantong reign (1908-1911) of the Qing Dynasty, hence its name "Xuantong."

Therefore, they possess high collection and historical value. The condition, rarity, version differences, and market demand of a silver coin all influence its Buyback and auction prices. Generally, silver coins in better condition fetch higher buyback prices.

Expert Appraisal Guide: How to Evaluate the True Value of Xuantong Old Silver Dollars?

In the market for high-value Buyback of rare silver coins, even Jiangnan-made Qifen Erli of the same denomination can vary in price by several times due to differences in condition. If you possess such ancient coins, you can perform an initial assessment using the following three dimensions, which also serve as our core standards for free online appraisal of ancient coins:

• Natural Patina & Luster: Genuine century-old silver dollars oxidize in natural environments, forming a rich, naturally transitioning patina (such as iridescent patina, black lacquer patina, or light yellow oxidation layer). If a soft "original luster" can be seen beneath the patina, its auction and buyback price will significantly increase. Avoid cleaning or wiping with chemical solutions, as this will severely damage its historical value.
• Dragon Scale Wear & Tear: "Qifen Erli," as a subsidiary coin (xiaoyang), circulated frequently in civilian transactions during the late Qing and early Republic periods, thus experiencing very high wear. If the dragon scales on the reverse dragon motif are plump, three-dimensional, and distinct, and the inscriptions are deep, clear, and without adhesion, it is considered an extremely rare, well-preserved specimen.
• Edge & Strike: The edge milling of Qing Dynasty machine-minted coins is unique. The edge milling of genuine coins is formed by heavy machine pressing, with consistent tooth depth and natural metal brushing marks. Observing the edge milling and strike pressure is an absolute key to identifying genuine Xuantong Yuanbao.
