1914年，袁世凱為解決軍費而鑄造有他側身圖像的銀元貨幣，單位為元，故稱“袁大頭”。在1927年北伐勝利后，國民政府停鑄。“袁大頭”銀幣改鑄孫中山頭像幣。袁大頭在制造的時候也是相當嚴謹的，不管是重量還是成色都有相當嚴格的管理，每星期要抽樣送到“財務部”化驗，中國銀行也會隨時派員檢查，不合格的隨時熔毀，絕不遷就，使得每一枚留存下來的“袁大頭”都是精品。
In 1914, Yuan Shikai cast a silver dollar currency with his side figure in order to solve the military expenditure. The unit is yuan, so it is called "yuan Datou". After the victory of the northern expedition in 1927, the national government stopped casting. "Yuan Datou" silver coin was changed into Sun Yat Sen's head coin. Yuan Datou is also very strict in manufacturing. No matter the weight or the quality, they are strictly managed. Every week, they are sent to the "finance department" for testing. The Bank of China will also send personnel to inspect them at any time. If they are unqualified, they will be melted down at any time. They will never give in, so that every piece of "yuan Datou" that has been saved is a fine product.
中華民國十年造壹元一枚, 此枚中華民國十年造袁大頭，字體端正，圖案清晰，包漿渾厚自然，乃當時佳品。雖有磕碰，卻恰恰反應此枚錢幣的真實性與其背后所蘊含的歷史文化。
Yuan Dadou, made in the 10th year of the Republic of China, was made for yuan Dadou in the 10th year of the Republic of China. The font is correct, the design is clear, and the slurry is thick and natural. It is a good product at that time. Although there are bumps, it just reflects the authenticity of the coin and the historical culture behind it.
針對近幾年來袁大頭的市場行情來看，相比近兩年不斷低迷的國內藝術品市場行情，袁大頭拍賣顯然要活躍很多，精品迭出，風頭不減，“袁大頭”的市場價值更是節節高升，更多的藏友去追尋“袁大頭”的蹤跡，不惜高出市價囊獲其中。
In view of the market situation of yuan Datou in recent years, compared with the domestic art market which has been continuously depressed in recent years, yuan Datou auction is obviously much more active, with high-quality products appearing repeatedly, and the market value of "yuan Datou" is rising constantly. More Tibetan friends go to pursue the trace of "yuan Datou" and get it at a price higher than the market price.
“袁大頭”代表了中國近代的貨幣文化，反映了我國近代歷史、經濟、金融的歷史興衰和滄桑，具有很高的藝術觀賞價值和文物價值，也具有一定的保值和升值功能。
"Yuan Datou" represents the currency culture of modern China, reflects the rise and fall of China's modern history, economy and finance. It has high artistic appreciation value and cultural relic value, and also has a certain function of maintaining and appreciating value.
