民国元年（1912年）四川军政府造醒狮双旗贰角型纪念银章，俯视散尾版，K-794，LM-371，存世少见 银章正面图案为两面交叉的五色旗，珠圈外环饰“中华民国元年”六字，左右两侧四瓣星花，背面图案醒狮地球图，下方饰三朵祥云，根据狮子形态分类，版别有俯首版、仰首版、高尾版、散尾版、低尾版、异版和官局五文合背版等，未标明面值，但直径、重量均与当时市面上流通的贰角银币相同，因此民间把此章当作贰角银币流通于川藏边界地区。 据钱币大师马定祥考证，“川督尹昌衡率军安藏，开拓川边，亦铸藏币银、铜二种，面文‘中华民国元年’，中部五色国旗交叉，背文狮像，概不纪值。银者半卢比，铜者百枚当一卢比，流行川边尚多，或以为熊克武铸，非也。”摘自《泉币》第三十期第七页，民国三十四年五月一日。 1912 Szechuan Lion and Double-Flag silver medal. Lion looking downward with disperse tail. L-794, LM-371. Scarce silver type. Showing crossed flags on front with “1st Year of ROC” at the rim and rosettes at both sides. On reverse with Lion on the Earth, plus clouds at bottom. Varieties exist according to the lion head and tail inclination. Despite the lack of denomination, the diameter and weight are the same as the contemporary 20c silver coins. Hence, this medal was circulating as 20c in Szechuan and Tibet border. According to Ma Dingxiang in 1945, “this silver medal was commissioned by the Governor of Szechuan Yin Changheng during his expedition in Tibet. Both copper and silver version were produced in which silver was for 1/2 rupee and 0.01 rupee for copper. Showing year 1st of ROC on front, crossed flag at centre and lion on reverse. No denomination was showed. Most of the them were circulating at the border of Szechuan. Some believed that it was minted by Xiong Kewu but actually it was not.”.
