Abstract
The modern machinery silver coins were produced since 1889 in China. The first modern mint was authorised in 1887 in Guangdong province and run by officer Zhang, Zhidong (张之洞). Most of the silver coins were made between 1889 to 1907. On the obverse, the coin was often inscribed with the reign title “Guangxu” (光绪) (1875-1908) of the Emperor Dezong, also the coinage location and the weight. On the reverse, there were responding English texts and a dragon image in centre.
