Seven decorative pellets are arranged around the flags in the field. The denomination 壹角 (1 Jiao) appears in large characters above the flags, while the legend 每枚十當圓一 (10 pieces equal 1 Yuan) is inscribed in two rows below. A beaded border frames the design. |

| Additional information |
This issue belongs to the flurry of memorial coinage produced following Sun Yat-sen's death in March 1925, as the Nationalist government worked to consolidate his image as the symbolic father of the republic. By 1927, Chiang Kai-shek had swept through the Northern Expedition and established Nanjing as the new capital — the political timing of memorial issues like this one was never incidental. Mintage figures for this denomination remain poorly documented, and surviving examples in any grade are genuinely scarce relative to the larger memorial dollar series struck concurrently.
