This pattern coin was issued in 1912, during the early days of the Republic. The portrait on the coin was once mistakenly identified as warlord Cheng Dequan of Suzhou. For Chinese coin collectors, the Yuan Shikai Founding Commemorative Coin has always been considered a mysterious coin. Its mysterious nature lies in the fact that its minting location and time are unclear, and the identity of who ordered its minting and the prototype of the portrait on the coin are also unknown. The coin's design clearly follows the style of the Sun Yat-sen and Li Yuanhong Founding Commemorative Coins of 1912. The obverse features a three-quarter portrait of a man, with a double border, floral and leaf motifs on both sides, and the four characters\"Zhong Hua Republic of China\"(Republic of China) inscribed. Below are the five characters\"Kai Guo Ji Nian Bi\"(Founding Commemorative Coin). The reverse features the vertical inscription\"Yi Yuan\"(One Yuan) in the center, flanked by auspicious grains (Jiahe), also with a double border. The English inscription\"THE REPUBLIC OF CHINA\"is engraved at the top of the rim, and\"ONE DOLLAR\"is at the bottom. The design and inscriptions on both the obverse and reverse of this coin imitate the 1912 Li Yuanhong and Sun Yat-sen Founding Commemorative Coins, with only the portrait being different and the English part on the reverse not separated by stars.\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/%E5%9B%9E%E6%94%B6%E6%B0%91%E5%9C%8B%E9%8A%80%E5%85%83\" title=\"Yuan Datou\"\u003eYuan Datou\u003c\/a\u003eFounding Commemorative Coin Collection Value and Auction Trends\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eBeyond its enigmatic historical background, this\"Yuan Datou One Yuan Republic of China Founding Commemorative Coin\"is a prized rarity fiercely sought after by top collectors in today's\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"36\" data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eantique coin auction market\u003c\/b\u003e.
