China Republic Coin Yuan Shih Kai
Today, I would like to share some info on China silver dollar coin Yuan Shih Kai. In USA, most of the dealers prefer the name Fatman dollar while the China nationality prefer the name Yuan Tar Tou. When I was in primary school, one of my classmate sold this type of coin to me for RM1.00. At that time I just started my coin collection hobby, I totally was not aware of which country neither the year nor denomination of the coin. During my childhood, information was not easy to access. I just kept it ...
Back 10 years ago, I met one of my friend whom shared the same hobby like me. I sought his help to identify which country and year of the coin , and eventually he told me the coin has the inscription "10" which meant it was 1911+10=1921 and is from the Republic of China , the denomination is one yuan and it is made of silver. 10 years ago, the price was around RM30 for VF condition. I slowly got interested when I knew more on this coinage period.

Yuan Shih Kai 10 cents coin
Today 28-Jul-2013 I visited coin shop to purchase some coin holder as I running out of stocks . Beside the shop I usually visited ,unexpectedly I spotted few small browse table being setup and noticed some dealers selling notes and coins. Without further delay I proceed to the browse table and checked out what item they are selling. They are selling varieties of world banknotes and coins. One coin that attracted me most is Yuan Shih Kai 10 cents dated 1916 Year 5. Usually most of the dealers have 1914 which is Year 3. I remember while I in Taiwan coin street I visited many shops I just come across 2 coins denomination 10 cents Yuan Shih Kai year 1916 but the condition is just VG to F and the price also not cheap so I decided not to own it. I grab today opportunity to own this coin as the price also reasonable. Currently this 1916 10 cents Yuan Shih Kai is in my collection although is just VF condition.
