But don't expect to get any of these coins at that price 😂
I think this was one of the last coins produce in the final year of the Great Chin Dynasty during Emperor Xuantong or better know as Puyi from the period of 1908 to 1912. The last coin were minted in 1911 but the emperor was forced into abdication on 12 February 1912 under a deal brokered by Prime Minister Yuan Shikai who also has his own coin which I had shared in a previous post below.

Actually these Dragon coins are pretty hard to get at a cheaper price and a coin like these would cost at less USD$150.00 for an average coin like this . I am still trying to get my hands of these coins but there are so many different province, version and
denomination of these coins that can make me go broke if I were to buy them all haha 😂
