Item details and appraisal notes
Republic Year 18, the one-yuan value, Sun Yat-sen portrait, globe and two flags are the identifying claims for this silver coin. Keep them together when examining both faces; a star-position claim or different value from a neighbouring issue cannot complete a weak area. Preserve the existing toning and marks.
Start with the date, value and globe-and-flags design
| Feature | Evidence to confirm |
|---|---|
| Issue | Sun Yat-sen globe-and-two-flags one-yuan silver coin |
| Date | Republic Year 18 |
| Denomination | One yuan |
| Authority and design | Republic of China; Sun Yat-sen portrait, globe and two flags |
| Evidence boundary | These stated elements support broad attribution only; they do not prove authenticity, mint, metal fineness or a specialised die variety. |
Read the globe-and-flags coin across both faces
Date and value: Frame the complete Republic Year 18 and one-yuan inscriptions with their borders. If a stroke is weak, change the light angle instead of filling it from another coin.
Portrait, globe and flags: Show the Sun Yat-sen portrait at natural contrast, and photograph the globe and both flags with their surrounding devices in complete face images. Close views should remain locatable within the whole design.
Edge and dimensions: Cover the circumference in overlapping sections. Safe weight, diameter and thickness readings may test consistency, but they cannot prove a mint, fineness or die variety.
Protect the surface before closer comparison
Use direct and shallow light without polishing away patina, deposits, hairlines or older cleaning. If a grading holder is present, leave it sealed. Photograph any loose label or box separately unless its association is supported.
Three condition areas worth separating
| Area | What to examine |
|---|---|
| Strike and lettering | Compare relief height, character margins and border detail under matched illumination; softness can reflect strike, wear or later abrasion. |
| Fields and toning | Capture colour before raking light, then locate contact marks, scratches, deposits and cleaning lines without digitally rebuilding the surface. |
| Rim and edge | Map knocks, filing, seams, bends or mounting traces to complete face and circumference images before enlarging them. |

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.
