Fine Recommendation -- Republic of China 3rd year edition Yuan Daitou
*本次藏品 中华民国三年版袁大头
典藏尺寸：重量26.3g
清朝末期，由于西方列强的入侵，外国货币在中国大肆通行，货币自主权不断沦丧；加上中央政府对地方政府的控制权日益削弱，各省为增强各自的财力及扩充军力，纷纷制造和发行货币，国内金融货币因而非常紊乱。袁世凯就任后，趁此机会把自己的头像铸于币面，以此提高政治地位，于是决定在全国废除各省造币权，统一币制。中华民国三年（1914年）北平政府颁发了《中华民国国币条例》确定壹圆为国币，即本位币，重七钱二分，银九铜一（后改为银占89%）。由天津造币厂开铸，之后广东、湖北、甘肃、杭州等造币厂相继仿铸，并在全国流通。
“袁大头”，是对铸造于民国初年镌有袁世凯侧面头像壹圆银币的一种俗称。因其首铸于民国三年，又有称“民三”者，此类别称由来已久。作为民国军阀银币的领头羊，“大头”系列对钱币收藏爱好者来说，并不陌生。“袁大头”银元的诞生，也是银元发展的必然结果。在辛亥革命后，袁世凯为了解决军费和提高个人政治地位而发行的银元货币，因这些银元铸有他的侧身图像而得名，它是中国近千种近代银币中流传最广、影响最大的银元品种，也是近代中国币制变革中的一个重要角色。由于它是实物货币，介于人们对贵金属的认可，以及对历史文化强烈的认同感，因此收藏的人不在少数。“袁大头”的变现能力比较强，这也是藏家看好的因素之一！
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, due to the invasion of Western powers, foreign currencies were widely circulated in China, and monetary autonomy continued to decline. In addition, the central government's control over local governments was increasingly weakened. In order to enhance their financial resources and expand their military power, each province began to manufacture and issue currency. , the domestic financial currency is very chaotic. After Yuan Shikai took office, he took this opportunity to cast his own image on the currency to improve his political status. Therefore, he decided to abolish the minting rights of each province and unify the currency system across the country. In the third year of the Republic of China (1914), the Peiping government promulgated the "Regulations on the National Currency of the Republic of China" and determined that one yuan was the national currency, the standard currency, weighing seven cents and two cents, nine cents of silver and one copper (later changed to silver accounting for 89%). It was minted by the Tianjin Mint, and later mints in Guangdong, Hubei, Gansu, Hangzhou and other countries successively imitated it and circulated it throughout the country.
"Yuan Datou" is a common name for the one-yuan silver coin with the side profile of Yuan Shikai that was minted in the early years of the Republic of China. Because it was first cast in the third year of the Republic of China, it is also called "Minsan". This type of name has a long history. As the leader of warlord silver coins in the Republic of China, the "Big Head" series is no stranger to coin collectors. The birth of "Yuan Datou" silver dollar is also the inevitable result of the development of silver dollar. After the Revolution of 1911, Yuan Shikai issued silver dollar currency in order to solve military expenses and improve his personal political status. It was named after these silver coins were cast with his sideways image. It is the most widely circulated and influential silver dollar among China's nearly one thousand modern silver coins. Variety is also an important role in the reform of China's currency system in modern times. Because it is a physical currency, due to people's recognition of precious metals and their strong sense of identification with history and culture, there are not a few people who collect it. "Yuan Datou" has relatively strong liquidity, which is also one of the factors that collectors are optimistic about!

Recently, our company collected a three-year version of the Republic of China Yuan Datou, with a collection size of 26.3g. The coating is natural and the molding process is exquisite. On the front is the bald statue of Yuan Shikai's left side in military uniform, listed above as "Three years of the Republic of China". There is no "creation" after the word "year", and other editions have a "creation" after the word "year". In addition, there is a "dot" in the "min" character in the three-year edition, while there is no "dot" in the other year's edition. The number of "Yuan Datou in the three years of the Republic of China" retained by the people is quite small. The shape of this collection is regular, the pattern is clear, the coin bread is thick, the inscription is deep, and it is a good coin treasure.
*本次藏品钱币背面
藏品背面图案为两株交叉的嘉禾花纹（稻穗），下系结带，麦穗中间是“壹圆”的字样。“袁大头”从发行到现在差不多有百年历史了，在这百年的沉淀下，如果我们还能够收藏到品相极为完美的袁大头，也算是运气非常好了。
The pattern on the back of the collection is two crossed Jiahe pattern (rice ear), tied with a knot belt, and the word "One circle" is in the middle of the wheat ear. "Yuan Datou" has almost a hundred years of history from its release to the present. Under the precipitation of this hundred years, if we can still collect Yuan Datou whose appearance is extremely perfect, it is also very lucky.
“袁大头”是中国近千种近代银币中流传最广、影响最大的银元品种，也是近代中国币制变革中的一个重要角色。而民国三年版“袁大头”银元铸造量极少，存世量极罕。铸币之上当政者有国泰民安、吉祥如意之愿景，无论从美学或是历史层面来看都极具收藏价值。从近几年艺术品交易市场的成交记录来看，民国三年版袁大头拥有较好的市场潜力，其市场价格一路攀升，几年时间里，单枚民国三年版袁大头交易价格持续走高，升值空间不断扩大。
"Yuan Datou" is the most widely spread and influential variety of silver coins among nearly a thousand modern silver coins in China. It is also an important role in the reform of China's currency system in modern times. However, the "Yuan Datou" silver dollar of the third year of the Republic of China was minted in very small quantities and is extremely rare in existence. The people in power on the coins have the vision of peace and prosperity for the country and the people, and are of great collection value from both an aesthetic and historical perspective. Judging from the transaction records of the art trading market in recent years, Yuan Datou, a three-year edition of the Republic of China, has good market potential, and its market price has been rising. In the past few years, the transaction price of a single Yuan Datou, a three-year edition of the Republic of China, has continued to rise and its value has appreciated. The space keeps expanding.
