Description

In the eighth year of the Republic of China, the statue of Yuan Shikai was minted as a round gold coin, with sharp striking and captivating golden luster. There has always been a very rare edition, with a familiar portrait of Yuan Shikai, but cast in gold. The reverse face is surrounded by a wreath, with the date on top. The border on both sides is actually full of fun and adds more charm. At first glance, it appears to have a scroll pattern, and upon closer inspection, one can discover that it is an antique dragon head facing right. The stunning appearance is sure to win the favor of many collectors.
