<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 1513370, member: 4373&quot;]Got hold of this unusual coin -</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.omnicoin.com/coins/1010905.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Note that it&#039;s noted in both Chinese and English as well as Manchu script. </p><p><br /></p><p>This particular coin was one of the more radical coins as it was first introduced in 1896 in terms of denomination. The new denominations were half-10 cents (5 cents), 10 cents, 20 cents, half yuan and one yuan. Silver coins around that era were still issued in terms of mace and candareens. Back then, it was 1 yuan = 7.2 mace. This was so radicial that the public didn&#039;t like it and the mint was pretty much forced to reissue coins back in the old weight denomination. </p><p><br /></p><p>More can be read here: <a href="http://www.dragondollar.com/coins/tag/chinese-dragon//" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.dragondollar.com/coins/tag/chinese-dragon//" rel="nofollow">http://www.dragondollar.com/coins/tag/chinese-dragon//</a> - some guy got really, really lucky! </p><p><br /></p><p>This is a good addition to my other coins: </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.omnicoin.com/coins/989268.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.omnicoin.com/coins/988935.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I really don&#039;t know what makes this coin really appealing but it just draws me in.
