| Obverse description | Left-facing bust of Yuan Shikai depicted in a notably rotund, exaggerated style characteristic of the so-called 'Fat Man' fantasy type, wearing a military uniform with collar visible at the truncation. The legend 中華民國三年 (Year 3 of the Republic of China) arcs along the upper periphery in Chinese characters. The field is plain, and the design is enclosed within a beaded border. This piece is a modern fantasy restrike copying the general format of the original Yuan Shikai dollar (KM# Y-329) but with exaggerated portraiture and struck in base metal. |

| Reverse description | Left-facing bust of Yuan Shikai in the same exaggerated 'Fat Man' style as the obverse, with a rounded, fleshy effigy and military collar visible at the truncation. The legend 中華民國三年 (Year 3 of the Republic of China) arcs along the upper periphery in Chinese characters. Both sides of this fantasy piece bear virtually identical portrait designs, a hallmark feature distinguishing it from the genuine Republican-era dollar. The field is plain within a beaded border, consistent with the obverse layout. |
