拍品描述： 民国三年袁世凯七分脸像壹圆样币。天津造币厂。珍罕度: ★★★。优雅诱人的样币，与最终採用的设计截然不同。七分睑版面部特徵更为精细，由名匠Luigi Giorgi雕刻，额外的空间让Giorgi在雕刻侧脸半身像时更能精准表现肖像的特徵及神态。稀有且机制币中至关重要的一枚,包浆诱人。(t) CHINA. Silver Dollar Pattern, Year 3 (1914). Tientsin Mint. PCGS Genuine--Repaired, Proof. AU Details.L&M-72; K-643; KM-Pn32; WS-0166; Wenchao-858 (rarity: ★★★). An elegant and enticing pattern-only issue, this concept Dollar is a stark departure from the type that would eventually become adopted for use. Here, the countenance of Yuan Shih-kai is presented in a three-quarter facing view to the left, allowing for much more intricacy with his facial features. Given that it was sculped by the master, Luigi Giorgi, this additional design space allowed Giorgi to evoke much more character and feeling than with the side profile bust type that was ultimately utilized. <strong>VERY RARE</strong> and highly important, this specimen displays very light cleaning as well as some trivial rub upon the high points, but has begun to reacquire color quite magnificently.From the Ta Han/MCC Collection.
