Item details and appraisal notes
Special remains provisional for this Republic Year 9 Yuan Shikai one-yuan dollar. The coin must first demonstrate its portrait, date legend, denomination and edge; a narrower designation needs a clearly repeatable die feature. Do not name a subtype that the available wording does not identify.
Prove the Year 9 dollar before proposing a subtype
| Feature | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Issue | Yuan Shikai portrait one-yuan silver dollar |
| Date | Republic Year 9 |
| Denomination | One yuan |
| Special status | Unconfirmed until the claimed difference is visible on this specimen. |
| Attribution limit | The broad issue can be described, but authenticity, grade and any fine variety require examination. |
Keep the claimed feature inside the whole design
Date and portrait: Take a straight full-face image containing the bust, Year 9 legend, denticles and rim. A detail view should show enough nearby relief to locate and compare the proposed difference.
Reverse denomination: Photograph the one-yuan value and surrounding devices without clipped borders. Change the illumination when wear or glare interrupts a character instead of completing it by assumption.
Edge and measurements: Work around the circumference with overlapping frames, then show scale and calliper displays for a loose coin. Physical readings can challenge an attribution but do not prove Special.
Challenge the special description
Die detail: Ask which precise stroke, portrait feature or device is meant and photograph it under at least two light directions. The feature should retain the same outline and position.
Surface effect: Check whether toning, abrasion, a scratch, tooling or a repaired field creates the apparent difference. Preserve the metal exactly as found during this comparison.
Wider agreement: Compare the complete obverse, reverse and edge, not a single enlarged spot. If the proposed subtype cannot be defined from the coin, keep the ordinary Year 9 one-yuan description.
Safe handling and photography
Hold a loose dollar by its edge over a soft dry pad. A graded holder should remain sealed, and any separate box or certificate should be photographed without assuming it originally belonged to the coin.
Year 9 attribution guidance
Use Yuan Shikai Dollars with the Yuan Shikai Dollar: Wreath, Edge, Weight and Surface. Comparison material may test a stated feature but cannot create one that is not visible here.

Questions before an appraisal
What should you check before selling?
What matters depends on the item. Photograph both sides, the edge, hallmarks or base marks, and any damage. Include the original box, certificate or weight information where relevant so we can decide whether an in-person inspection is needed.
