| Obverse description | Left-facing bust of Yuan Shikai in military uniform with high collar, rendered in the distinctive rotund style characteristic of the so-called 'Fat Man Dollar' fantasy issues. The effigy occupies the central field with pronounced, fleshy facial features including a clean-shaven head and strong jowls. A continuous beaded border frames the periphery of the coin. The curved legend 中華民國三年 (Year 3 of the Republic of China) arcs around the upper field in Chinese characters. |

| Reverse description | The reverse of this fantasy piece closely mirrors the obverse design, featuring the same left-facing rotund bust of Yuan Shikai in military dress uniform with a high collar, set within a plain field. The curved legend 中華民國三年 (Year 3 of the Republic of China) appears in Chinese characters around the upper portion of the field. A continuous beaded border runs along the entire periphery. The repetition of the obverse design on the reverse is a hallmark of this class of fantasy or imitation strike, distinguishing it from genuine Republic of China coinage. |
