Confirm the Republic Year 21 Three Birds issue
| Feature | Supported identifier |
|---|---|
| Issue | Sun Yat-sen Three Birds junk-design silver coin |
| Date | Republic Year 21 |
| Denomination | One yuan |
| Authority and design | Republic of China; Sun Yat-sen, junk and Three Birds |
| Evidence boundary | Date, value, portrait, junk and bird motif establish a broad attribution, not authenticity, mint, fineness or a specialised die pairing. |
Keep the birds locatable within the complete design
Bird motif: Show all three birds with the surrounding sky, devices and rim before making individual enlargements. A cropped silhouette is insufficient to establish its position or count.
Portrait, junk and inscriptions: Photograph Sun Yat-sen, Republic Year 21, the one-yuan value and the complete junk in level face views. Use another light angle where wear interrupts a line.
Circumference and readings: Cover the edge sequentially and locate every rim change. If safe, note weight and dimensions with units, treating the results as comparison evidence rather than authentication.
Separate three kinds of physical evidence
| Area | What to preserve |
|---|---|
| Rim and edge | A continuous circumference sequence showing knocks, seams, filing or possible mounting traces |
| Surface history | Toning, deposits, contact marks, hairlines and earlier cleaning under direct and shallow light |
| Damage or repair | Chopmarks, scratches, tooling or altered fields located on complete face images |
Protect the coin and conditional accessories
Handle bare silver at the edge over a padded surface and do not improve the patina. Leave a fitted holder sealed, while any loose label or container remains conditionally associated.

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.
