Examine portrait and commemorative face as a pair
Li Yuanhong portrait: Capture the whole portrait face, including its surrounding legends, inner border and rim. Add shallow-light details of the hair, clothing and facial relief without reconstructing worn lines.
Founding commemoration: Keep the complete commemorative wording and adjacent devices visible in one frame. A Sun Yat-sen design may guide camera placement but cannot complete this coin's letters.
Open identity fields: Leave denomination, weight, metal, province and mint unassigned. Scale readings, colour and magnetic observations can support examination, but they cannot create missing inscriptions.
Preserve portrait relief and field texture
Hold a bare coin at the edge over a padded dry surface. Use diffuse light for colour, then a low beam for hairlines, tooling and repaired areas; keep any certified case sealed.
Three checks before comparing commemoratives
- Portrait continuity: Do the head, clothing and surrounding lettering retain coherent relief under more than one light direction?
- Commemorative wording: Can every readable character be located on a complete face rather than inferred from another design?
- Rim and association: Are the full circumference and any loose label photographed separately, with no unsupported claim that packaging is original?

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.
