CHINA. Silver "Large-Tailed Dragon" Dollar Pattern, Year 3 (1911).

The "Large-Tailed Dragon" Dollar Pattern An Exceptional Rarity that Closes out the Ch'ing Dynasty CHINA. Silver "Large-Tailed Dragon" Dollar Pattern, Year 3 (1911). Tientsin Mint. Hsuan-t'ung (Xuantong [Puyi]). PCGS SPECIMEN-64+. L&M-33; K-226; KM-Pn309; WS-0043; Wenchao-112 (rarity: ★★★). Among the pinnacle with respect to the various patterns design for Puyi's final year as emperor, and of imperial China as a whole, this "large-tailed" design is EXCESSIVELY RARE and important, and shares the stage with RARITIES like the "long whisker" types. While it may not appear as such upon first glance--owing to the fact the it is the overall style of the adopted "dragon in the clouds" circulation issues, as well as the adopted direction of the coiling (as opposed to the "reversed" types, in which the dragon's body forms a "C")--this particular dragon design features an extremely large tail and tassels upon the flying mythical beast, with said tail terminating in no less than 12 distinct spines. On the design that was eventually adopted, the termination of the tail appears more like flames rather than the clearly discernable spines seen here, with the present pattern serving as a bridge between the tail style observed on issues like those from Chihli and the tail style seen on the adopted issues. A simply fantastic and exceedingly exclusive RARITY, with this piece serving as the first such instance of the type in one of our actions. Impeccably struck and wondrously preserved, this specimen dazzles with intense brilliance and glistening surfaces, all while a subtle almond hue is observed throughout. We note the instance of just one other of this type to cross the auction block in recent memory, with a similarly graded example realizing $1.769 million in December 2025. As such, it is dizzying to imagine the heights to which this specimen could reach, given what should be no shortage of connoisseurs seeking this monumental vintage keystone. Estimate: $1,000,000 - $1,500,000. Click here for certification details from PCGS.

"大尾龍"壹圓試鑄樣幣宣統三年大清銀幣壹圓。大尾龍樣幣。天津造幣廠。珍稀度：★★★。溥儀在位末年乃至整個中國帝制樣幣設計中首屈一指的巔峯之作。"大尾"版極其珍罕，地位舉足輕重，足與"長鬚龍"等珍罕版別並駕齊驅。乍看之下，其整體風格與後來採用的"雲中龍"流通幣一致，盤龍方向亦相同，並非龍身呈"C"形的反版；然而，本設計之龍尾格外碩大，飛龍飾有流蘇，尾端清晰分出不少於12根龍刺。最終採用的設計中，尾端更近火焰形態，而此處可辨的龍刺，正巧成為直隸子列龍尾與定稿版龍尾之間的過渡。卓絕不凡、極度珍罕，我司亦是首度呈獻此版。鑄工無懈可擊，保存完美無瑕，幣面銀光燦然，通體泛現淡雅杏仁色調。近年僅見另一枚登場拍賣，評級相若者於2025年12月以176.9萬美元成交。如此大清機製幣中的巨擘之作，勢必吸引鑑藏名家爭相競逐，其成交潛力難以估量。

估價:$600,000
