| Obverse description | Left-facing bust of Yuan Shikai in military uniform, with epaulette and rank insignia visible at the truncation. The engraver's initials 'L.G.' appear in the lower right field. A circular legend in Chinese characters arcs above the effigy, reading 'Year 3 of the Republic of China' (中華民國三年), flanked symmetrically on either side. The portrait is executed in the distinctive broad, fleshy style characteristic of Luigi Giorgi's 'Fat Man' type dies, set within a toothed border. |

| Reverse description | Central field bears two large Chinese characters '貳角' (2 Jiao) arranged vertically within an open wreath composed of two symmetrical branches of budding foliage, tied at the base with a ribbon bow. Above the wreath, a horizontal legend in five Chinese characters reads '五枚當一圓' (5 pieces equal 1 Yuan), framing the denomination. The design is contained within a toothed border consistent with the obverse, and the overall composition is characteristic of the milled Republican-era pattern series produced under Luigi Giorgi's direction. |
