Description
In 1889, Guangdong Province made a sample coin of the Guangxu Yuanbao Kuping Seven Coins and Three Fen "Guangbian" thickened trial casting. The coin was exquisitely crafted, with a mirrored base that was as shiny as new, sharp edges and teeth, and a full set of dragon scales. It had a strong sense of three dimensionality, with a blue-green European coating and top-notch appearance. It was made by the Birmingham Mint in the UK and trial cast by the Guangdong Mint. The Guangbian version only existed for two or three times, making it extremely rare and precious. It was a top famous dragon silver product in the Qing Dynasty,
