2020 1 oz Chinese Silver Kweichow Auto Dollar Restrike Proof Coin
The 2020 1 oz Chinese Silver Kweichow Auto Dollar Restrike Proof Coin is a stunning tribute to one of the most historically fascinating and valuable vintage coins of the Republic of China. Struck from 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver with an ultra-low mintage of just 5,000 coins worldwide, this piece is the first release in a prestigious five-coin series, celebrating China’s most coveted numismatic treasures.
This coin replicates the iconic 1928 Kweichow Auto Dollar, originally minted to commemorate the completion of the first modern road in Kweichow Province under the rule of warlord Zhou Xicheng. Minted in Shanghai, this 2020 Silver Auto Dollar Restrike revives an incredible chapter in China's numismatic history. The original coin, steeped in controversy, was commissioned by Zhou to immortalize both his car and his infrastructure achievements. Despite warnings that placing his portrait on a coin could lead to his downfall, Zhou cleverly integrated his name into the design. Ironically, a year later, Zhou met his demise while driving on the very road he had built—separated from his troops and ambushed by rebels.
