拍品描述： 民国十六年孙中山像陵墓壹圆银样币。 (珍稀度☆☆☆)发行量480 枚。银光绚丽，反面环形呈深色的虹彩，正面的肖像外绕艳丽包浆，令人目不暇给。<p>

备受欢迎的版别，维也纳造币厂设计，由总雕刻师Richard Placht制作。儘管设计极为精緻，但没有被採纳。中山陵的形式正确，但细节不全。由于雕刻时在建筑尚未落成，由于雕刻时在建筑尚未落成，雕刻师从未看到过真实建筑，仅凭设计稿进行，所以缺少一些如正面的台阶等细节。此外，孙中山肖像的相似度不足，也是未採用的原因。

CHINA. Silver "Mausoleum" Dollar Pattern, Year 16 (1927). PCGS SPECIMEN-63+. L&M-85; K-609; Wenchao-pg. 555 #898 (rarity three stars); Sun-III-4-01; WS-0130. Mintage: 480. Exceptionally brilliant and lustrous, this alluring specimen features some deeper iridescent toning in a peripheral ring on the reverse, while Suns portrait on the obverse is bracketed rather dramatically by a very deep, burnished tone.<p><em>

Always standing as a <strong>VERY RARE</strong> and heavily sought after coin on account of its rather paltry mintage, this pattern issue was designed by Richard Placht, an Austrian medalist and engraver at the mint in Vienna. Although attractive and elegant in its design and manufacture, the pattern was destined to be met with disapproval. While it was stylistically correct, the mausoleum (construction for which was still under way at the time of the patterns design) for the revolutionary was lacking several design elements. Since the engraver never actually saw the site and was only supplied with drawings and concepts, elements were omitted, including the mausoleum steps leading to its face. It is also noted that the engraving of Dr. Sun Yat-sen himself was met with disapproval from authorities in China, as it bore only a partial resemblance to his actual likeness.</em><p>
