The “Guangxu Yuanbao” is the most common type of Chinese dragon silver coin (Long Yin). Its value in the market is typically determined based on the following principles:

• Denomination Size: The main denominations include “7.2 mace,” “3.6 mace,” “1.44 mace,” “0.72 mace,” and “0.36 mace.” Generally, the larger the denomination, the higher the price.
• Issuing Regions: Common issuing units include the Central Mint, Fujian Province, Fujian Government Mint, Jilin Province, Guangdong Province, Hubei Province, Hunan Province, Beiyang, Zhejiang Province, Jiangnan Province, Anhui Province, Sichuan Province, and Yunnan Province.
• Condition: According to the coin grading association, coins are classified as “Uncirculated,” “About Uncirculated,” “Extremely Fine,” “Fine,” and “Good.” Condition significantly impacts the price.
• Special Cases: Specimen coins and error coins are exceptionally valuable and tend to command high prices.
