【藏品簡介】：最近幾年，在國家大力提倡推廣中國文化的大趨勢下，錢幣市場有了巨大的變化，并且一直在持續的升溫中，諸多錢幣的價格都在節節高升，“袁大頭”就是其中一個典型的代表。我們俗稱的“袁大頭”銀元，其實是指在辛亥革命后，袁世凱為了解決軍費和提高個人政治地位而發行的銀元貨幣，因這些銀元鑄有他的側身圖像而得名，嚴格來說叫“袁世凱像背嘉禾銀幣”。
[introduction to the collection]: in recent years, under the general trend of vigorously advocating the promotion of Chinese culture, the coin market has undergone great changes, and has been heating up continuously. The prices of many coins are rising day by day, "yuan Datou" is a typical representative. Commonly known as "yuan Datou" silver coins, we actually refer to the silver coins issued by Yuan Shikai in order to solve military expenses and improve his personal political status after the revolution of 1911. These silver coins are named because they are cast with his side image. Strictly speaking, they are called "Yuan Shikai's image back Jiahe silver coins".
因袁大頭壹圓銀幣幣型統一，它的成色、重量都有嚴格的規定，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，是民國時期主要流通貨幣之一。“袁大頭”現在存世量比實際鑄造量少很多，大量銀幣在之前都被政府收回，重新融化。因此袁大頭的存世量遠遠沒有我們想象中那么多。
Due to the unification of yuan Datou's one dollar silver coin type, its quality and weight were strictly regulated, which was quickly recognized and accepted by the society. It gradually replaced Longyang in the Qing Dynasty in the domestic financial market. It was one of the main circulating currencies in the period of the Republic of China. "Yuan Datou" is now much less than the actual casting quantity, and a large number of silver coins were recovered and melted by the government before. Therefore, the amount of yuan Datou is far less than we thought.
“袁大頭”由于鑄地多、鑄量大，出現了許多版別。有趣的是，盡管版別不同，但“袁大頭”的標準重量都為七錢二分。按年號，“袁大頭”分為民國三年、八年、九年、十年共四個鑄造年份，其中三年、九年、十年屬于比較常見的銀幣，從面值上看，面值壹圓的多，中圓(五角)的少，貳角、壹角銀幣略少。
"Yuan Datou" appeared in many editions because of its large casting land and large casting volume. Interestingly, although the editions are different, the standard weight of "yuan Datou" is seven cents and two cents. According to the year number, "yuan Datou" is divided into four casting years: the third year, the eighth year, the ninth year and the tenth year of the Republic of China. Among them, the third year, the ninth year and the tenth year belong to common silver coins. From the face value, the face value of one yuan is more, the middle yuan (fifty cents) is less, and the two jiao and one jiao silver coins are slightly less.

袁大頭在貨幣收藏界被稱為銀元之寶，它是中國近千種近代銀幣中流傳最廣、影響最大的銀元品種，也是近代中國幣制變革中的一個重要角色。由于它是實物貨幣，介于人們對貴金屬的認可，以及對歷史文化強烈的認同感，因此收藏的人不在少數。“袁大頭”的變現能力比較強，這也是藏家看好的因素之一，“錢”景一片看好。
Yuan Datou is known as the treasure of silver in the field of currency collection. It is the most widely spread and influential silver coin among nearly 1000 kinds of modern silver coins in China. It is also an important role in the reform of modern Chinese currency system. Because it is a physical currency, between people's recognition of precious metals and a strong sense of identity with history and culture, there are not a few collectors. The liquidity of "yuan Datou" is relatively strong, which is also one of the factors favored by collectors, and the "money" scene is promising.
