1911年12月29 日，經辛亥革命后，已光復的17省代表在南京推選孫中山為中華民國臨時大總統。1912年1月3日，中華民國政府宣告成立，清朝滅亡，在中國持續2000 多年的封建君主專制隨之結束。民國成立時，由于幣制尚未建立，除四川改鑄大漢銀幣，福建改鑄中華元寶外，主要的造幣廠，大都仍沿用前清鋼模鑄造銀幣，以供流通需要。由于幣制混亂，臨時政府財政部長陳錦濤，于民國元年3月11日呈文大總統孫中山，鼓鑄1000萬元紀念銀幣以為整頓。圖案采用大總統孫中山肖像，以后的通用銀幣再改花紋式樣。孫中山令財政部行文，同意鼓鑄紀念幣，并命令其余的通用銀幣新花紋，“中間應繪五谷模型，取豐歲足民之義，垂勸農務本之規”，訓令財政部速制新模，分令各省造幣廠照式鼓鑄。不久，財政部就頒下新模給江南(南京)、湖北、廣東等造幣廠依式鑄造，這就是“中華民國孫中山像開國紀念幣”的由來。

民國成立時，由于幣制尚未建立，除四川改鑄大漢銀幣，福建改鑄中華元寶外，主要的造幣廠，大都仍沿用前清鋼模鑄造銀幣，以供流通需要。由于幣制混亂，臨時政府財政部長陳錦濤，于民國元年3月11日呈文大總統孫中山，鼓鑄1000萬元紀念銀幣以為整頓。圖案采用大總統孫中山肖像，以后的通用銀幣再改花紋式樣。孫中山令財政部行文，同意鼓鑄紀念幣，并命令其余的通用銀幣新花紋，“中間應繪五谷模型，取豐歲足民之義，垂勸農務本之規”，訓令財政部速制新模，分令各省造幣廠照式鼓鑄。不久，財政部就頒下新模給江南(南京)、湖北、廣東等造幣廠依式鑄造，這就是“中華民國孫中山像開國紀念幣”的由來。

背面中央為中文隸書體“壹圓”及嘉禾，邊緣英文“中華民國”、“壹圓”，左右分列五角星(后改為六角星)。直線邊齒，俗稱“小頭”。該幣作為中華民國國幣發行，流通甚廣，數量較多。中華民國孫像開國紀念幣銀元，并非都是民國元年鑄造。民國16年、17年南京和天津造幣廠均有鑄造，但采用的全是“中華民國開國紀念幣”的年代。中華民國孫像開國紀念幣銀元，由于鑄造廠家不一，鑄造年代不同，雕刻師英語水平不高，除正背面主要圖案未變外，其花飾細節、英文字母均有變異，特別是英文字母差錯較多。這就形成了該幣的多種版別。傳世較廣的主要有兩種：一種是五角星版式，一種是六角星版式
In the center of the back is the Chinese clerical style "Yiyuan" and Jiahe, with the edge of the English "Republic of China" and "Yiyuan", with five pointed stars (later changed to hexagon star). Straight edge teeth, commonly known as "small head". As the currency of the Republic of China, it is widely circulated and has a large number. The silver dollar, the commemorative coin of the founding of Sun Xiang in the Republic of China, was not all minted in the first year of the Republic of China. In the 16th and 17th years of the Republic of China, the mints of Nanjing and Tianjin were all minted, but all of them adopted the "commemorative coins of the founding of the Republic of China". The silver dollar, the commemorative coin of the founding of Sun Xiang in the Republic of China, is not very good at English because of different foundries, different casting times, and the Engravers' English level. Except for the main patterns on the front and back, there are variations in the details of flower decorations and English letters, especially the errors in English letters. This resulted in a variety of types of the coin. There are two main types that have been handed down widely: the pentagram and the hexagon

這幾年藏友對孫中山開國紀念幣了解，銀元存世量少備受藏友青睞，藏友們對銀幣的青睞主要歸因于以下三點：一是制作精美，觀賞性強；二是品種紛繁，選擇余地大；三是歷史時間短，容易入手，再加上制作量少，而清末以后戰亂頻頻，使銀幣的損耗極大，這三點對于收藏者來說，就具備了長期投資的可能性。
In recent years, Tibetans have known about Sun Yat-sen's founding commemorative coins. The small amount of silver coins is favored by Tibetans. Their preference for silver coins is mainly attributed to the following three points: first, they are beautifully made and have a strong appreciation; second, they have a variety of varieties and a large choice; third, they have a short history and are easy to get into their hands, coupled with a small amount of production. However, after the late Qing Dynasty, the frequent wars and chaos led to a great loss of silver coins For collectors, there is the possibility of long-term investment.
