(t) CHINA. Dollar, Year 3 (1914). PCGS Genuine--Environmental Damage, EF Details.

L&M-63G; KM-Y-329; WS-0174-16. Sinkiang variety. This distinctly crude example from the far western mint is quite charming, but is a far-cry from the original design. The engraving does capture Yuan Shih-kai's likeness more or less; lacking the refinement usually associated with this prolific issue. Heavy die lines in the open areas with other signs of degradation are easily seen offering interesting characteristics. Areas of black encrustation account for the details grade adding a bit of character. An interesting issue of the early Republic sure to add depth to the next collection it enters.

Estimate: $400.00 - $600.00

民國三年袁世凱像壹圓銀幣。

鑄壓粗略，但整體誘人，甚至優於原來的設計。雕刻師確實或多或少地捕捉到了袁世凱的肖像神態；僅欠缺少許精緻度。底板中帶重模線及其他留痕，為此枚錢幣更添風格。黑色結殼於底板，致得細節等級，倍添韻味。早期民國的又一有趣發行，肯定為它進入的下一個集藏增加深度。
