| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field bears the denomination in two large Chinese characters — 拾 (ten) above 圓 (yuan) — enclosed within a wreath of flowering branches tied at the base with a ribbon bow. The circular legend 中華民國八年造 (Made in Year 8 of the Republic of China) runs along the upper periphery of the inner circle. The entire design is framed by the same decorative border of cloud and scroll ornaments as the obverse, maintaining a harmonious composition on both sides. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The "Fat Man" nickname derives from the rotund appearance of Yuan Shikai's portrait on the earlier silver dollar of the same type — the gold version borrowed the design after Yuan's death in 1916, making it a posthumous issue produced under the Beiyang government. Gold coinage in Republican China of this period was never intended for general circulation; these were minted primarily as presentation pieces and for settling international trade obligations where creditors distrusted paper currency.
Genuine examples are frequently encountered alongside sophisticated counterfeits, a problem documented since the 1920s. The .850 fineness is lower than contemporary Western gold coinage, which occasionally caused friction in foreign trade settlements.
