Specifications and Physical Details of the Republic of China Year 21 (1932) "Three Birds" Coin

For professional collectors, understanding the physical data of an item is the first step in appraising it. This short-issued silver dollar represents the high standard of craftsmanship at the Central Mint in Shanghai at that time. Below are the standard specifications for this edition of the silver coin, which can be used for basic comparisons of the weight and dimensions of Republic of China Year 21 silver coins:

Authentication and Testing Item Standard Data and Feature Description Collection Reference Value
Year and Place of Minting Republic of China Year 21 (1932) / Central Mint, Shanghai Deep historical significance due to the special era leading up to the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War.
Metal Material Ratio Silver coin (Standard fineness: approx. 88% silver, 12% copper) Ensures hardness while retaining the soft metallic luster unique to silver.

Coin Diameter and Thickness Diameter approximately 39 mm / Thickness approximately 2.5 mm Uniform specifications with extremely high planchet flatness.
Edge Features Reeded edge (evenly spaced reeds, sharp cuts, consistent depth) Counterfeits often have unnatural edge bevels, stiff-looking reeds, or filing marks.

On-the-Spot Authentication: Key Techniques for Identifying Genuine Republic of China Year 21 "Three Birds" Coins

As the "Sun Yat-sen Three Birds Coin" continues to be highly sought after in the coin collecting market, many counterfeits produced with modern high-imitation techniques have appeared. To protect your rights, mastering the correct identification techniques for genuine Republic of China Year 21 "Three Birds" coins is crucial. Here are several professional authentication tips:

  • Micro-details of Calligraphy and Design: On genuine coins, the hair strands of Sun Yat-sen's portrait on the obverse are vivid and three-dimensional, and his eyes are deep; the "three birds" on the reverse are depicted in a light, flying posture, and the lines of the rising sun's rays (radiant lines) are uniformly thick and distinct. Counterfeits, when sand-cast or high-pressure minted, often show adhesion at the intersections of the sun's rays, or blurred edges on the seagulls' wings.
  • Observe Toning and Silver Luster: After nearly a century, genuine coins develop a natural, richly layered"patina of circulation"or"rainbow toning."Overly thick or brightly colored chemical toning is usually used to conceal traces of counterfeiting. Genuine coins have a soft underlying luster, often described as"high Run Ze Du"(high luster/sheen).
  • Listen to the Sound and Tapping Resonance: When lightly tapping a genuine Sun Yat-sen "Small Head" Junk Coin using a professional method, it will emit a clear, prolonged, and soft pure silver resonance sound; if the sound is too sharp or dull and short, it is highly likely to be an alloy counterfeit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Under what conditions should a Sun Yat-sen coin be kept to be worth recycling?

A: For a Sun Yat-sen coin, preserving the original toning, original box and certificate, and showing no signs of cleaning, while minimizing direct handling of the coin surface, can maximize its collectible value.

Q: What about a Sun Yat-sen coin with wear on both sides?

A: Wear on both sides of a Sun Yat-sen coin will lower its grade, but for rare versions, being able to clearly identify the design still gives it collectible value. Our experts will assess and price it based on its specific condition, rather than a blanket approach.

Q: Does a Sun Yat-sen coin with a complete design on both sides always mean it's valuable?

A: A complete design is a basic requirement, but the true factors influencing the value of a Sun Yat-sen coin are its variety, year, and mintage. Our experts will conduct a comprehensive evaluation and will not quote a price based solely on appearance.
