| Obverse description | Left-facing effigy of Yuan Shikai in military uniform, rendered in high relief with naturalistic modelling of the facial features, including a distinctive moustache; the portrait is notably fuller and rounder than earlier issues, giving rise to the popular collector designation 'Fat Man dollar'. A decorative epaulette with floral ornament is visible at the truncation. Seven Chinese characters arc around the upper field, reading from right to left, giving the date as Year 10 of the Republic of China. The coin is bordered by a continuous milled rim. |
