Read the Generalissimo identity across both faces
Zhang Zuolin wording: Capture the complete name or associated identifying design with the surrounding legend and rim. Do not infer a province or authority from a different regional issue.
Republic Year 17 and 1928: Show both date forms at readable scale and preserve their locations on uncropped faces. A missing stroke should not be taken from another Year 17 coin.
Generalissimo commemoration: Photograph the full commemorative phrase and adjoining devices before isolating a character. The phrase does not supply a denomination or metal.
Build an evidence set without altering the surface
- Dates and lettering:
- Pair square-on images with shallow-light details so relief, wear and tooling can be distinguished around the inscriptions.
- Edge and dimensions:
- Cover the circumference sequentially and take physical readings only when safe, with measuring tools and units shown.
- Packaging and provenance:
- Keep a sealed case intact and show any loose tag or envelope separately until its connection is supported.
Dry, stable handling before comparison
Rest the coin on a clean padded support, handle the edge only and avoid polish, dips or abrasive cloths. Photograph toning and deposits before changing light direction.

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.
