At the end of Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty， the Qing court focused on the rectification， reform and innovation of the currency system in order to control the currency disorder caused by scattered coinage across the country. In addition to specifying that the coinage right belongs to the central government， the style， enterprise， weight and appearance of coinage were also worked out in detail. The silver coin “Long Beard Dragon” is one of the team members. This series of product coins， with perfect system and exquisite manufacture， is unprecedented in China's history. The Revolution of 1911 broke out， so its implementers were overthrown and abolished in a short time. All kinds of coins， except the general “Quxulong” one-dollar silver coin and ten-penny copper coin， were forged at the request of the Republic of China. It has a great reputation in the world of money， and has been the favorite choice for personal collection of Chinese silver coins over the years. The long-beard-dragon version of the silver coin of the Great Qing Dynasty in the third year of Xuantong is a collection with great collection value and appreciation space.
大清银币主要有三种，长须龙、短须龙、曲须龙这三种大的版本。我们日常见过的比较多的就是就短须龙和曲须龙这两种钱币。长须龙一般我们在市场是见不到的，当然仿品除外。大清银币长须龙、短须龙、曲须龙都是按照钱币上面的龙须来说的，我个人觉得长须龙上面的龙就好像是老态龙中一条老龙一样。
以下为您介绍若干珍稀的银元版别：其一，大清银币类别之宣统三年“长须龙”版：于 1911 年由度支部造币总厂试铸，然未正式发行，存世数量甚为稀少。其龙须颀长，形态庄严肃穆，鳞片丰腴且明晰，于宣统三年银币系列中乃是颇受瞩目的版别。
