| Reverse description | Left-facing uniformed bust of Yuan Shikai, identical in design and execution to the obverse, confirming the nature of this piece as a double obverse mule struck from two obverse dies. The effigy displays the same 'Fat Man' style portraiture with military dress and detailed collar insignia. The legend 中華民國三年 (Year 3 of the Republic of China) appears in Chinese characters above the bust in the upper field. A beaded border frames the design. This extraordinary pairing renders both sides of the coin identical, making it a unique and significant pattern in Republican Chinese numismatics. |
