Default Chinese Imperial Coin

DRAGON TYPE CHINESE IMPERIAL COIN. First used by the Kwangtung ( Kwang-tung) Mint in 1889. This was the standard (Though not the only) dragon used on silver coins. Normally there is no circle around the dragon. Note the fireball beneath the dragon's chin. Normally there are seven flames on the fireball.
1 MACE and 4.4 Candareens= $.20
5.50 grams of Silver and yours would be dated around 1907....PAPPY
