Description

"Yuan Datou" has many versions due to its large casting area and large casting volume. What is interesting is that despite the different versions, the standard weight of the "Yuan Datou" one yuan coin is seven cents and two cents. According to today's measurement method, it is 26.697 grams, the fineness is 97%-98%, and it contains 23.493 grams of pure silver. According to the year name "Yuan Datou", it is divided into three-year, eight-year, nine-year, ten-year editions, etc., all of which are ordinary editions. Among them, the eighth edition of the Republic of China was cast with a steel mold made by the British Bonham Mint. It is in exquisite appearance and has high collection value. Especially the gap "Zao" (the "mouth" of the word "Zao" on the silver coin is missing a horizontal line) "Yuan Datou" in the eighth edition of the Republic of China is most worthy of collection. In addition, from the perspective of casting technology and tooth edge decoration, "Yuan Datou" can also be divided into these versions: Yingyang tooth edge version, T-shaped tooth edge version, English signature version, "Gansu" inscription version, etc. Privately minted coins with low silver content also appear on the market. Reminder: Don’t rush to remit money or pay a deposit before seeing the real thing to avoid being cheated.
