Sun Xiaotou's "Six Stars Above" silver coin is an important version among the Republic of China Sun Yat-sen commemorative coin series. It gets its name from the arrangement of six five-pointed stars between the English words "THE REPUBLIC OF CHINA" and "ONE DOLLAR" on the back of the silver coin. The special feature of this version of the silver coin is the presence of six five-pointed stars on its reverse, distinguishing it from other versions such as the "Five Stars Above" or "Five Stars Below" silver coins, hence it is known as the "Six Stars Above" version.

The Sun Xiaotou founding commemorative coin was first minted in 1912 to commemorate the establishment of the Republic of China and Sun Yat-sen's inauguration as the provisional president of the Republic of China. Subsequently, various mints cast multiple versions of the Sun Xiaotou founding commemorative coin, with the "Six Stars Above" version being one of the rarer ones. Due to differences in minting years, mold changes, and production locations, there are multiple versions of the Sun Xiaotou founding commemorative coin, and the "Six Stars Above" version attracts significant attention in the collector's market due to its rarity.

Q: Which type of Sun Yat-sen coin is most sought after in the market?

A: Currently, the market favors early silver dollars (such as Yuan Shih-kai dollars, Sun Yat-sen dollars, and Dragon dollars), rare zodiac gold and silver coins, and commemorative series like those for the Olympics or World Expo. Sun Yat-sen dollars are among the popular collectibles.
