This type, roughly equal to a dime, was struck 1914 and 1916 in the opening phases of the revolution which overthrew the Manchus in 1912. The portrait features Yuan Shih-kai, one of the leading generals of the new Republic of China, founded in a burst of idealism in 1912 by Sun Yat-sen. The idealism quickly dissipated as various warlords jockeyed for power. Yuan Shih-kai managed to get himself crowned emperor before he died in 1916. Twenty cent, fifty cent and one yuan coins also exist.

''Recorded mintage:'' unknown but large.

''Specification:'' 2.70 g, .700 fine silver.

''Catalog reference:'' KM Y-326.
