1931 Hunan Soviet Dollar extremely rare obverse depicts Soviet hammer & sickle with a large star within a circled and beaded border. Obverse legend reads "Hunan Soviet Government”. It's interesting to note the date is arranged in a western manner as 1931 deviating from traditional method dating coins with the year of the Republic. Historically very important as this coin represents one of the earliest Chinese Soviet Dollars an considered one of the first dollars of the Peoples Republic.

VERY RARE. A proposed design in brass for the 1983 silver 10 Yuan Panda issue which was the first silver issue in the series. A very striking design, which is utterly different from the one eventually minted. In many respects this piece is quite a departure from most of the Chinese coins being made at the time or since.

Anhwei 1898 7 Mace, 2 Candareen silver (Dollar) struck in 1898 -- sold for an incredible $143,400! The mint in Anhwei began production in 1897 with the intent to replace circulating foreign silver coinage with Chinese-made coins. Unfortunately the plan failed, and the mint, located in the capital of Anking, closed after only three years of production. As to be expected from this short production period, mintages are relatively low, creating a scarcity of these pieces.
