Item details and appraisal notes
The lower five-star position and one-yuan value distinguish this founding commemorative silver coin from the upper-star and double-flag issues nearby. No precise year is supplied; read the stars in relation to the surrounding design, and keep the province and mint unassigned.
Verify the lower five stars before comparing the coin
| Feature | Evidence to examine |
|---|---|
| Issue | Sun Yat-sen Lower Five Stars one-yuan founding commemorative silver coin |
| Date | No precise year is stated. |
| Denomination | One yuan |
| Authority and design | Republic of China; Sun Yat-sen portrait, founding commemorative wording and lower five stars |
| Evidence boundary | The star position and value support broad attribution but do not prove authenticity, year, province, mint or a specialised variety. |
Separate star placement, strike and surface evidence
Lower-star layout: Photograph all five lower stars with surrounding lettering and border elements. A tight detail should always be paired with a complete face image.
Portrait and value: Capture the Sun Yat-sen portrait in full, together with the founding commemorative inscriptions and one-yuan value in uncropped face images. Weak strokes remain unresolved until the coin supplies clearer evidence.
Dimensions and edge: Use circumference photographs plus safe weight, diameter and thickness readings to screen for obvious inconsistencies. None can create a missing year or establish a mint.
Check three areas before any variety attribution
| Area | Focus |
|---|---|
| Five-star position | Count and locate the five stars in the lower position, keeping their spacing and nearby devices visible under even light. |
| Portrait and fields | Compare relief, open fields, toning, contact marks and possible cleaning under direct and shallow illumination. |
| Circumference | Follow the rim and edge in order, matching every knock, seam, filed area or bend to a full-face orientation. |
Keep toning and any holder undisturbed
Hold bare silver at the edge over a soft support and avoid metal polish, dips or abrasive tools. Leave an existing grading holder sealed. Treat a separate label, certificate or box as associated only when supporting evidence connects it.

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.
