I have an 1898 British silver dollar and would like to know how much it is

Was it 1898?

It is a silver coin issued by the United Kingdom in India, which strictly belongs to the British monetary system. Heavy gram, 900 fineness, commonly known as "standing abroad" in China.

It was minted at the mints of Bombay, Calcutta, and England, with their own secret notes.

At present, the station of general products is 180 200 yuan.

In 1895, the British used the mints of Bombay and Calcutta in India to mint a new silver dollar, commonly known as the "station man". The obverse of the silver dollar ** is a samurai holding a halberd and a shield, and the upper end has an English currency value of "one dollar" around the samurai, and there is a year below; The back ** is the life character pattern, the top and bottom are the Chinese "one yuan", and the left and right are the Malay "one yuan". weight grams, 90% fineness.

After the issuance of the coin, it was initially circulated in Guangdong and Guizhou provinces, and began to be used in the north after 1900, especially in the Beijing-Tianjin region, occupying most of China's area from south to north, in exchange for a large number of **.

If this is the case, the market price ranges from 250-1200 yuan, and it depends on the quality and other issues.

This currency is called Zhanyang, which is made in Calcutta, India, not Uyghur but Urdo.

In 1895, due to the British restrictions on the outflow of local silver coins, the British mint in Mumbai and Calcutta, India, minted a new **silver dollar, which was used by the British in Asia**, so strictly speaking, it still belongs to the British silver coin, and the standard title is "British ** silver dollar". The obverse of the silver dollar ** is a British goddess holding a halberd and a shield (so commonly known as "standing foreign" or "standing people" in China), and the upper end has an English currency value "one dollar" (one dollar) around the goddess, and there is a year below; The back ** is the life character pattern, and the top and bottom are Chinese "one yuan", **500 800 yuan.

See if he's silver, if so, it's estimated to be worth 1-30,000 yuan, but the reverse side is a little damaged.

About 800 yuan, this ** has adopted me, absolutely correct.

I've never seen anything like this...

But how do you know this is a British coin? Actually write Chinese? The other row of text looks a bit like the Xinjiang script (Uyghur).

**Can you tell it's made in the UK?

In 1895, by.

Copied from the British to restrict the outflow of local silver coins, the British minted new silver dollars at the mints of Bombay and Calcutta in India for use in the British in Asia. The obverse of this silver dollar depicts a British goddess holding a spear and shield, so it is commonly known as "standing yang" or "standing man". After entering China, it was initially circulated in Guangdong and Guizhou provinces, and after 1900, it began to be used in the north, especially in the Beijing-Tianjin area.

At the same time, in order to occupy an advantage in China, Britain used the currency to crowd out the silver dollars of other countries circulating in China, and continuously transported China's ** to Britain, and the currency is a witness to this history.

1895 is its first mint and issue, Mr. Goh's collection is the version of "Zhanyang", the foreign text on the back is the Malay word "one dollar", the coin contains about 90% silver, 39 mm in diameter, heavy gram, primary color and original light, the bottom plate is clean, the gears are regular, the interval is regular, the voice is pure and tactful and calm, the characters are clearly portrayed, the folds of clothes and other three-dimensional sense is very strong, and the most rare is that it is basically uncirculated.

Compared with the common "Longyang" in China, "Zhanyang" has always been underestimated, but more and more people have begun to study and pay attention. With the continuous increase in the international market, the currency has great potential for appreciation. Recently, the new collection of 100 years of silver dollars has attracted much attention, it has so far collected a large number of silver dollars, a long span of time, rare treasures on the market, very valuable for collection and appreciation, is a rare gift and collection.

This pound note is not "Year is 1809-1882", this year is just the year of birth and death of Darwin, the person on the back of the note.

This is the British 2000 edition of the £10 banknote. On the front of the banknote is Queen Elizabeth II, and on the back is Charles Darwin, the founder of the British theory of evolution (Darwin's birth and death years "1809-1882" are displayed in the lower right corner).

At the current exchange rate, 1 pound = Chinese yuan, so 10 pound notes can be exchanged for 96 yuan.
