Beschrijving voorzijde Facing bust effigy of Yuan Shikai, self-proclaimed Hongxian Emperor, depicted in military uniform adorned with epaulettes, decorations including a sunburst order on his chest, and a tall plumed imperial ceremonial hat with fringed tassel. The portrait is rendered in high relief with fine detail to the facial features, including a prominent moustache and goatee. A beaded border frames the design along the coin's periphery. The field is plain, with no surrounding legend, drawing full attention to the central effigy.

Aanvullende informatie

Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself the Hongxian Emperor on December 12, 1915, launching a monarchical restoration that collapsed within 83 days under military revolt and international ridicule. These gold pattern pieces were prepared for the anticipated inaugural coinage but never progressed to a sanctioned issue — Yuan abandoned the throne in March 1916 and was dead by June.

The multiple L&M references reflect genuine die differences between recorded specimens rather than cataloging inconsistency. Surviving examples are believed to number in the single digits across all varieties combined.
