袁大頭，辛亥革命以後，袁世凱就任“臨時大總統”之職發行的錢幣，袁世凱為了提高自己的統治地位，把自己的頭像鑄於幣面，“袁大頭”由此而來。1914年2月7日，袁世凱以大總統令形式公佈了《國幣條例》及《國幣條例施行細則》，規定國幣種類有銀幣4種（壹圓、中圓、貳角、壹角）、鎳幣一種（五分）、銅幣五種（二分、一分、五釐、二釐、一釐）。因袁大頭壹圓銀幣幣型劃一，成色、重量有嚴格規定，很快受到了社會認同和接受，在國內金融市場上逐步取代了清朝的龍洋，成為流通領域的主幣。
Yuandatou, after the Revolution of 1911, Yuan Shikai took office as the coin issued by the "interim president". In order to improve his dominance, Yuan Shikai cast his own head on the currency, and Yuandatou came from it. On February 7, 1914, Yuan Shikai promulgated the "National Currency Regulations" and the "Implementation Rules of the National Currency Regulations" in the form of a presidential decree. There are 4 kinds of silver coins(round, round, corner, corner), one kind of nickel(five points), and five kinds of copper coins(two cents, one cent, five cents, two cents, one cent). Due to the uniformity of Yuandatou's round silver coin, strict rules on color and weight, it was quickly recognized and accepted by the society. In the country, Jinrongshichang gradually replaced Longyang of the Qing Dynasty and became the main currency in the circulation field.

There is no word for "making" after the word "year". Other years have a word for "making" after the word "year". There is a "point" in the three-year version of "people", while there are no "points" in other years. The coin is engraved with a vertical English letter "L. GioRGi" on the right side of Yuan Xiang. It is an abbreviation signed by the Italian sculptor "Luerzhi", a foreign seigniorage expert in China. This coin is very rare. The Tianjin Mint tried to cast a sample coin and did not circulate.
