Lot description: This coin is a trial struck by the Tianjin Mint (not yet in circulation), and only more than 1,000 pieces have been minted. After decades of vicissitudes, there are very few signed versions of Yuan Datou that have been handed down, and it has become the rarest silver coin in Yuan Datou. It's hard to "get a glimpse" of the sky. The craftsmanship is more sophisticated than the general Yuan Datou, the outline of Yuan Shikai's head is clearer, and the Qian Wen is also thicker, very three-dimensional, quite exquisite. It is understood that at present, the number of Yuan Datou preserved by the people is not too much, it is particularly precious, and it is also a rare treasure in modern silver coins.

Lot introduction: The Kuomintang regime carried out military encirclement and economic blockade of the Soviet area, and the environment of the red regime was very bad. In order to meet the needs of the struggle situation, the Red Army used the first three years (1914) version of the "Yuan Datou" silver dollar obtained by fighting local tyrants, and marked the "Soviet" stamp on the right side of Yuan Shikai's portrait to show the difference and put it into circulation. This "Soviet Yuan Datou" played an important role in developing the economy of the revolutionary base areas, ensuring the supply of the Red Army, and building the Red regime. "Soviet Yuan Datou" witnessed the eventful years of the Chinese Soviet Republic and is a revolutionary cultural relic worth cherishing. At that time, the common people were Xi to call the old silver dollar "Dayang" and the silver dollar minted in the Soviet District "Red Ocean". The Kuomintang regime would not tolerate the circulation of silver dollars stamped "Soviet" in the market, and after confiscation, they would be melted back into the furnace, so the "Yuan Datou" stamped "Soviet" was rarely handed down, and it was more collectible than the ordinary original "Yuan Datou".
Of course, there are some special editions that are also very popular with Tibetan friends, such as the swallow version of the picture above, which is also very difficult to find, or some money stamps can also add a lot of color to the coin, in short, each collection has the history and background of each collection, which is different, as long as it can be on the right eye, it is a kind of fate.
