| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Yuan Shikai declared himself the Hongxian Emperor on December 12, 1915, after an elaborate and largely self-funded campaign to manufacture public consent — including a staged "petition" movement coordinated through his own political apparatus. The reign lasted 83 days before widespread military revolt forced him to abdicate in March 1916. He died three months later, almost certainly of uremia, though the humiliation of the collapse is thought to have accelerated his decline.
These gold pieces were struck as presentation and ceremonial issues rather than for general circulation, which explains their survival rate in comparatively fine condition. The Kann and L&M references treat them as a distinct commemorative series rather than coinage proper.
