Comment
This was struck at the Central Mint in Tientsin.Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Yuan/1 Dollar coin from the Empire of China, minted in 1911, features a unique long-whiskered dragon design on one side and the Chinese character for "dragon" on the other. This coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Pu Yi, who was the last emperor of China and ruled from 1908 to 1912. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the power and prosperity of the Chinese Empire, but it was never widely circulated and is now considered a rare collector's item.
