In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, in order to rectify the chaotic social phenomenon of the currency system, the Qing government focused on rectifying and reforming the currency system. The great Qing silver coin that proclaimed unification for three years was the product of the reform of the currency system at the end of the Qing Dynasty. This series of coins, exquisitely made, is a masterpiece in the history of Chinese currency. ...........................
The front of the silver coin is engraved with four large characters of "Great Qing Silver Coin", and the back is engraved with a dragon, known as a sacred dragon attached to the coin of wealth symbol, which is one of the reasons why investment collectors love the Great Qing Silver Coin. .................................................................................
It is said that the highest auction price of silver coins in the Qing Dynasty reached millions that year, is it speculation or is it really valuable? Today, let's analyze the value of the investment collection of the Great Qing Silver Coin.
Many ancient coins no longer have circulation and payment functions, but they have more archaeological, artistic, investment, collection and other values. There are many different layouts of the Three-Year Great Qing Silver Coin of Xuanun, among which the long-bearded dragon, the short-bearded dragon, the big tail dragon and other surviving quantities are rare, and the most collectible investment value.
The long-bearded dragon is the most popular of the Xuansan edition of the Great Qing Silver Coin, the amount of existence is rare, the front is divided into four kinds, the standard version of the fine petal side leaf yang pattern, the thick petal side leaf yin pattern, the thick petal side leaf yang pattern and the circulation version of the same ordinary version.
As the name suggests, the two dragon whiskers on the dragon face of this coin are longer, the end of the dragon whiskers stretches out to the word "circle", in addition, the dragon head is larger, and the whole looks very majestic, but the design of the face makes the dragon look a little rejuvenated, and the spirit is far less than that of the "Qushu Dragon", "Anti-Dragon" and "Big Tail Dragon". Auction houses have always said that "long-bearded dragons" are the most in addition to "short-bearded dragons". Popular versions, strictly speaking, are not cautious enough.
The Short-bearded Dragon, though rare, is the crudest and most unsightly of the four coins, perhaps because of its rarity. In 2004, the Beijing auction has sold 1.188 million yuan.
When the auction house introduced the "long-bearded dragon", it called it the most in addition to the "short-bearded dragon". Popular version. In fact, in terms of popularity, "long-bearded dragon" is undoubtedly the top of the list, and popularity has two goals: beauty, rarity, if it is too rare, it is impossible to talk about the so-called popularity. However, in terms of rarity and shopping mall value, there is no doubt that the "short-bearded dragon" has a unique title in the three series of sample coins of the Great Qing Xuan, and there is no one.
Despite its rarity, the Short-bearded Dragon is the crudest and ugliest of the four coins, and perhaps sparsely available.
There are several editions of the Great Qing Silver Coin, including "Long Bearded Dragon", "Short-bearded Dragon", "Anti-S Dragon", "Great Tail Dragon" and "Qusu Dragon", and "Qushu Dragon" is the only one involved in the minting and circulation.
The term "anti-dragon" is based on the establishment of the national currency identity of the "Qusu Dragon", and the two are opposite in the upward direction of the dragon's body, hence the name. The "anti-dragon" is in a counterclockwise direction from the dragon head and the dragon's body to the dragon's tail, and the dragon's tail is looming in the clouds, which is the only sample coin in the three series of the Great Qing Xuan that "sees the head but does not see the end". In terms of editions, it is also divided into yin leaf version and yang leaf version according to the different meridians of the flower branches on the left side of the front.
"Anti-dragon" in the sense of beauty and rarity, all have a certain advantage, the planning is not bad at all "Qushu Dragon" and "Big Tail Dragon", there is a certain number to ensure the "mass base", but perhaps in comparison, the stock of "Anti-Dragon" is indeed larger than the "Long-bearded Dragon", so that the value is weakened, and the stock practice is not too big, and some "Yangchun White Snow", after all, high or low.
In terms of planning, the "Big Tail Dragon" is regarded as a sibling of the "Qusu Dragon", whether it is the text, pictures, dragon shapes, and inner teeth on both sides, they are appropriately close, and the structure of the dragon's body is the same. Only the "Qushu Dragon" is more delicate when dealing with details such as fonts, dragon bodies, dragon tails, clouds, and dragon balls. The "Big Tail Dragon" got its name from the fact that the 11 dragon tails were larger than the "Qushu Dragon".
Although in terms of value, the "big tail dragon" is higher than the "long-bearded dragon", but because it shows less face in the world, so from the mysterious point of view, the "big tail dragon" is somewhat "see the beginning and not the end", so the collector's understanding and perception of the "big tail dragon" is also a little worse, of course, in the difficulty of preserving the "big tail dragon", it is also greater.
At present, the real value of the Great Qing silver coins is extremely special and rare trial coins such as "Big Tail Dragon" and "Short-bearded Dragon", while "Long-bearded Dragon" and "Anti-S Dragon" can reach hundreds of thousands of high prices. But we often say that the Great Qing silver coin, that is, a large number of private circulation of the currency is "Qusu Dragon", more common, the market price is about 2,000 yuan, scammers often use Tibetan friends to distinguish the version of such coins is not clear, confusing the public, this is where Tibetan friends need to pay attention! The value of the reference silver coin in addition to the denomination and material of the currency itself is more about its historical background, cultural value, and survival, and it must not be blindly invested.
