Description

At the time of formulation, the "Xuan San" series of Qing Dynasty silver coins included three types of decimal auxiliary coins: five jiao, two jiao, and one jiao. The reverse design was a roughly similar "standing dragon", and the five jiao design should be L GIORGI design, this type of design is very rare in Dragon Silver. According to the convention of issuing new coins, the main coin is the first, so it is planned to follow up after the new round of national currency is in circulation. However, the sudden outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution made it difficult to mint silver coins and prevent mass production. Therefore, the number of "Lilong" silver coins is not large, with Wujiao being the rarest.
