| Obverse description | Left-facing draped bust of Sun Yat-sen at center, flanked on either side by decorative floral sprigs. Chinese ideograms arranged in two groups form the obverse legend: four characters arching above the portrait reading 中華民國 (Republic of China), and four characters below reading 開國紀念幣 (Founding Commemorative Coin). The overall composition is rendered in a formal, portrait-medal style characteristic of early Republican Chinese coinage patterns. |
