| Additional information |
Issued in the first year of the Republic following the Xinhai Revolution and the abdication of the Xuantong Emperor in February 1912, this small silver piece belongs to a commemorative category minted to mark the founding of the new government rather than for routine circulation. The "Birth of the Republic" memento issues were produced in multiple denominations, most in very limited quantities, with distribution tied to official ceremonies rather than commerce. Kann's attribution and the absence of a Y# assignment both reflect how thinly documented these pieces remain in Western numismatic literature.
