| Obverse description | Left-facing truncated bust of Yuan Shikai in military uniform with epaulettes and high collar, rendered in high relief in the characteristic 'Fat Man' style associated with the Italian engraver Luigi Giorgi. The effigy occupies the majority of the field, with the portrait displaying the president's distinctive jowled profile and short-cropped hair. A circular beaded border frames the design. The six-character Chinese legend 中華民國三年 (Year 3 of the Republic of China) curves around the upper periphery of the field. |
