Item details and appraisal notes
This Republic Year 18 silver coin states a 20-cent value, a Jiahe design and the relationship that five pieces equal one yuan. Keep the unit value and the five-piece equivalence distinct: neither changes the coin into a one-yuan piece. Sun Yat-sen and every stated inscription should be shown at natural contrast.
Read the Jiahe 20-cent issue and its five-piece equivalence
| Feature | Supported detail |
|---|---|
| Issue | Sun Yat-sen Jiahe 20-cent silver coin |
| Date | Republic Year 18 |
| Denomination | 20 cents; five pieces equal one yuan |
| Authority and design | Republic of China; Sun Yat-sen and Jiahe |
| Evidence boundary | Date, design, value and the five-piece relationship do not by themselves prove authenticity, mint, fineness or a specialised variety. |
Examine the 20-cent coin without losing the unit relationship
Date and equivalence: Frame Republic Year 18, the 20-cent value and the five-pieces-equal-one-yuan wording with adjacent characters. Keep weak strokes open rather than borrowing a legend from another fractional coin.
Sun Yat-sen and Jiahe: Use complete face images to locate the portrait and Jiahe design, then add close views under even and shallow light. Avoid digital sharpening that invents line endings.
Physical cross-checks: Photograph the whole edge and take measurements only when safe. Weight, diameter and thickness can support comparison; they cannot replace the stated denomination or establish authenticity.
Three viewing areas for a fractional coin
- Inscriptions
- Keep the date, 20-cent value and five-piece equivalence legible within wider images, with glare moved away from the character edges.
- Relief and fields
- Compare portrait and Jiahe detail, open fields, contact marks and wear under consistent magnification without altering the surface.
- Rim and edge
- Follow knocks, seams, filing, bends or mounting traces around the circumference and relate each detail to a complete face orientation.
Preserve the coin before any further comparison
Handle bare silver at the edge above a soft dry pad. Leave toning, deposits and old cleaning intact. Keep a fitted holder closed, and treat a loose box or certificate 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.
