This Dollar is a representative of the first set of Tai Ching Ti Kuo silver coinage. These issues--struck in limited quantities with a familiar obverse design based on the imperial copper issues beginning in 1906--were placed into circulation and, in less than a year, were replaced by the 1908 issues.
