LPM is proud to revisit the first release in our hugely popular China's Famous Vintage Coin Series in a beautiful antique finish! This release is limited to a mere mintage of 1,000 and uniquely will have the year, weight, purity and serial number laser etched on the rim of the coin.

A classic is reborn. The Kiangnan 7 Mace 2 Candareens coin is one of the most sought after vintage Chinese coins and has been brought back to life in the form of a 1oz silver coin.

In 1897, the Heaton Mint in Birmingham developed the original dies of a series of silver denominations for the Kiangnan Mint. The Obverse features the iconic image of a Chinese dragon coiled in a wide retrograde “S” shape with a fireball from his mouth, staring intensely out at the observer. The reverse features 4 Chinese and 4 Manchu characters, all reading as “Kuang Hsu Yuan Pao”, within a chain pattern of tiny capital “S” figures.

For the first time ever, a Chinese mint will laser etch the year, weight and purity on the rim of the coin.
