CHINA-CHIHLI 1907 1 Tale Silver Pattern, 3 tiny dots on the pearl in a straight line, L&M438, NGC MS63, NC Collection, superb toning and surfaceThe 1907 Chili Silver Tael coin was struck at the Tientsin Mint using the same Japanese style dragon as on the 1903 Hupoo coinage. It has only one kind of denomination and can be sorted into two varieties based on the dots on the fireball on the reverse.

The scarcer variety has three tiny dots in a straight line on the fireball, which is sometimes called the "no dots" variety because the dots are so small that a magnifier is required to see them. The famous Chinese collector ShiJia-Gan pointed out that weights vary, with the lightest being 34 g (lower than one Tael). The two examples in the Shanghai Museum weigh 34.2 g and 37.2 g, almost 50% lower than Kanns record high of 51.2 g.
