1912年4月袁世凯出任大总统。北洋政府鉴于当时铸币、纸币十分复杂，流通的中外货币在百种以上，规格不一，流通混乱，折算繁琐，民众积怨，同时也想借助货币改制以解决军费问题，便决定铸发国币。袁世凯为了提高自己的统治地位，趁机把他的头像铸于币面，“袁大头”由此而来. “袁大头”首次的铸造时间是民国三年，而且该币被定为中华民国国币，因此，它在我国的钱币史上具有非常重要的地位。Yuan Shikai became president in April 1912. In view of the complexity of the coinage and paper money at that time, there were more than 100 kinds of Chinese and foreign currencies in circulation, with different specifications, disorderly circulation, complicated conversion, and people's resentment. At the same time, they also wanted to solve the military expenditure problem by means of currency reform, so they decided to issue national currency. In order to improve his ruling position, Yuan Shikai took the opportunity to cast his head on the coin surface, and "yuan Datou" came from it. The first time that "yuan Datou" was minted was in the third year of the Republic of China, and the coin was designated as the currency of the Republic of China. Therefore, it has a very important position in the history of Chinese coins.

据史料记载袁大头在制造的时候是非常严谨的，不管是从重量或是成色都有一套相当严格的管理。不仅每星期要抽样送到“财务部”化验，而且中国银行也会随时派专员检查，不合格的就地熔毁，做到绝不迁就，致使每一枚留存下来的“袁大头”都是精品。而在银币收藏界袁大头还有银元之宝之称，是中国近千种银币中影响最大的银元品种。“袁大头”银元的通行促进了银元的统一，更为“废两改圆”打下了坚实的基础，极具收藏价值。According to historical records, yuan Datou was very strict in manufacturing, and had a set of strict management in terms of weight and quality. Not only will the samples be sent to the "finance department" for testing every week, but the Bank of China will also send specialists to inspect them at any time. The unqualified ones will be melted down on the spot, and they will never give in. As a result, every remaining "yuan Datou" is a fine product. In the field of silver coin collection, yuan Datou, also known as the treasure of silver yuan, is the most influential silver coin among nearly 1000 kinds of silver coins in China. The circulation of "yuan Datou" silver yuan promoted the unification of silver yuan and laid a solid foundation for "changing the two wastes into yuan".

“袁大头”代表了中国近代的货币文化内涵，具有很高的观赏价值和文物价值，更有保值的功能。虽然“袁大头”在目前收藏市场上比较常见，价格也不算太高，但是由于其停止流通的时间比较久，加上解放初期时的大量兑换，造成存世量并不多，而在收藏流通中损失的也比较多，从而决定了它上升空间的庞大。另外，受价值规律的影响，这些钱币价值直线上升，并随时间推移，增值潜力越来越大。"Yuan Datou" represents the connotation of monetary culture in modern China. It has high ornamental value and cultural relic value, and has the function of preserving value. Although "yuan Datou" is quite common in the collection market at present, and its price is not too high, due to the long time it stopped circulation and the large amount of exchange in the early period of liberation, there was not much in the world, and the loss in the collection and circulation was relatively large, which determined the huge space for its rise. In addition, affected by the law of value, the value of these coins rose sharply, and the value-added potential increased with time.

此件藏品为中华民国三年乔治英文签字版，他由意大利驻华公使介绍来华，初到天津造币厂时，他提供了许多精美的样币与试制币，还带领中国工匠设计、雕刻样币。而且清末民初的很多机制币边沿上都镌刻有“L.Giorgi”、“GIORGI”或“GIORGI INC”即路易奇·乔治名字的字样，这正是钱币开铸之初的试铸币标记，待批量铸造时，再将这些英文小字去除。因此，乔治签字版币样留存甚是稀少。据说路易奇·乔治他设计“袁大头”样币时，是依照袁世凯照片进行雕刻的，完成后还获特许带着样币见了袁世凯本人。亲见本人后，乔治认为可以雕刻得更好，于是又重新雕刻，更为准确地表现出袁世凯的形象特征。乔治把浮雕人像的艺术应用于钱币上，如人物的眼球皆有瞳孔内凹加点，目光显得炯炯有神。一级品质，币面清秀硬朗，铭文字体雕刻清晰，正面图案是袁世凯的侧面像，在头像的上方是纪念“中华民国三年”，右下角镌刻有“L.Giorgi”，背面的图案是中间汉字“壹元”周围环嘉禾纹饰，钱币银质精良，形制规整，十分精致美观，局部略有磨损,试铸币，无流通于市场使用，因为第一次铸造，用银改为铜，铜水冷却后由机器铸压而成，所以试铸币是当世的完成品样品，是后续铸银币的对照品，此币色泽光鲜，品相优异，包浆自然，纹饰深浅适度，具有极高的艺术鉴赏和收藏价值。This collection is the English Signature Edition of George in the third year of the Republic of China. He was introduced to China by the Italian Minister to China. When he first arrived at Tianjin mint, he provided many exquisite samples and trial coins, and led Chinese craftsmen to design and carve sample coins. In addition, many machine-made coins in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China were engraved with the words "l.giorgi", "Giorgi" or "Giorgi Inc", that is, the name of Luigi George. This is just the mark of trial coinage at the beginning of the coinage. These small English characters will be removed when the coins are cast in batch. Therefore, the specimen of George's signature is rare. It is said that Luigi George, when he designed the "yuan Dadou" sample coin, carved it according to Yuan Shikai's photos. After finishing, he was authorized to bring the sample coin to meet Yuan Shikai himself. After seeing him personally, George thought that he could carve better, so he carved again, more accurately showing the image characteristics of Yuan Shikai. George applied the art of relief portraits to coins. For example, the eyeballs of the characters were concave in the pupil and their eyes were bright. The coin is of first-class quality. Its face is delicate and strong, and the inscriptions are clear. On the front is the profile of Yuan Shikai. On the top of the head is the year of the Republic of China. The lower right corner is engraved with "l.giorgi". On the back is the Middle Chinese character "one yuan", surrounded by Jiahe pattern. The coin is of fine silver quality, regular shape, very delicate and beautiful, with slight wear and tear in some parts, The trial coinage was not used in the market. Because the first time, silver was replaced by copper, and the copper water was cooled and pressed by machine. Therefore, the trial coin is the finished product sample of the present day and the reference for subsequent silver coins. The coin has bright color, excellent appearance, natural slurry coating, and moderate depth of decoration. It has high artistic appreciation and collection value.
