When you look at this version, please remember its two major features:
(1) The English letters at the lower end of the big tail dragon are significantly larger than those of ordinary dragons;
(2) The fan-shaped dragon wire at the tail of the big-tailed dragon is significantly more than that of ordinary dragons.
The composition of the dragon is a bit like a long-bearded dragon, the dragon head is larger, and the most obvious difference with the long-bearded dragon is that the beard is shorter, so it is named the short-bearded dragon, this version is the rarest of all the three coins of the Great Qing Dynasty, Chinese silver dollar researcher Geng Ede said that before leaving Shanghai in 1949, only 5 pieces survived, and in 2004, beijing Brilliance auction appeared one, which was sold for 1.18 million yuan.
