China, Qing dynasty, Tianjin mint. 1 Yuan ND 1908

There is an inscription on the front, with the top of the regular script "Mint General Factory", the bottom of the "Kuping Seven Coins and Two Cents" logo, and the center of the coin reads "Guangxu Yuanbao" in four characters. There is also a four-character direct reading of Manchu in the center of the coin. On the top of the outer circle on the back of the silver coin, there is an inscription in regular script "Made in the Guangxu Year", and the rest of the words "Silver Coin of the Qing Empire" are inscribed in small English standard fonts. The inner circle is cast with a five-clawed dragon on the front, which is a little rough in appearance. Its aesthetic style is unique. The fusion of Manchu and Han cultures can be seen on the front of the coin, while the back of the coin clearly indicates the involvement of Western culture. Although the coin is small, it can also give us a glimpse of social culture. This is the Guangxu Yuanbao silver coin of the Mint General Factory.
