袁大頭是民國時期主要流通貨幣之一，“袁大頭”是對袁世凱像系列硬幣的口語俗稱，嚴謹點說叫“袁世凱像背嘉禾銀幣”。北洋政府為了整頓幣制，劃一銀幣，于民國三年（1914年）二月，頒布《國幣條例》十三條，決定實行銀本位制度。
Yuan Datou was one of the main circulating currencies in the Republic of China. Yuan Datou is a colloquial term for Yuan Shikai's series of coins, which is strictly called "Yuan Shikai carries Jiahe silver coins on his back". In order to rectify the currency system, the Beiyang government unified silver coins. In February of the third year of the Republic of China (1914), it promulgated 13 articles of the national currency regulations and decided to implement the silver standard system.

《國幣條例》規定："以庫平純銀六錢四分八厘為價格之單位，定名為圓"，"一圓銀幣，總重七錢二分，銀八九，銅一一"，"一圓銀幣用數無限制"，即以一圓銀幣為無限法償的本位貸幣。根據這一規定，于1914年12月及1915年2月， 先后由造幣總廠及江南造幣廠開鑄一圓銀幣，幣面鐫刻袁世凱頭像，俗稱"袁頭幣"或"袁大頭"。
According to the regulations of the state on currency, the unit with the price of 6.4% and 8.0% of the bank level pure silver is named as yuan, one yuan silver coin with the total weight of 7.2% silver, 89% silver and 11% copper, and the number of one yuan silver coin is unlimited, that is to say, one yuan silver coin is used as the standard loan currency for unlimited repayment. According to this regulation, in December 1914 and February 1915, the general mint and Jiangnan Mint successively issued a silver coin with the head of Yuan Shikai engraved on it, commonly known as "Yuan tou coin" or "Yuan Da tou".

One is the English version of the Italian plate maker, which was tried in Tianjin Mint in the three years of the Republic of China; the other is the left side of Yuan Shikai's face like the back neck (capital English l · Giorgi). The above two types (5 kinds) are all sample coins, which have not been officially circulated and used, so they are rare.
