Description

China, collector copies, silver one dollar (cf.K-225, W-115), (26.84g) (39.64mm). There are minor stylistic differences on and around the dragon's head and in the large scales on its back at 9 o'oclock, which do not increase in size from top to bottom as they do on the authentic pattern, other minor differences on the reverse seem to be due to heavy die polishing which has detached the dragon's left foreleg from its body, as well as the 3 spines a few millimetres below, toned nearly uncirculated.
