D:3.9cm (1.54in) Weight:27g (0.06lb)This silver coin was minted in 1916 to commemorate Yuan Shih-kai's imperial reign era "Hung Hsuan". The obverse features Yuan Shih-kai in full military uniform with a tall plumed hat, with the engraver's signature "L. GIORGI" on the right. The reverse bears the inscription "Chinese Empire, Hung Hsuan Era" and a flying dragon motif. Extremely rare, it is one of the most prestigious rarities among Republican-era machine-struck coins.
