民国十二年曹锟像壹圆纪念银章。天津造币厂。武曹/ 省宪颁佈纪念。细节锐利,底板镜面锃亮,两面均有包浆。在追寻中国历史象徵的藏家之中备受追捧,此等品相尤甚。曹锟于1923年担任大总统,任期较短,而此章即是在1923年铸成。他公然以5,000银元贿赂国会成员而登上大总统之位。其腐败横行的政府招致了许多反对,最终在1924年10 月,曹锟政府被军阀冯玉祥发起的政变推翻。<p>CHINA. Dollar, ND (1923). Tientsin Mint. PCGS MS-63.L&M-959; K-678 = KM; WS-0105. Tsao Kun in military attire/Proclamation of the Constitution commemorative. Sharply detailed with strong reflective qualities in the fields and dappled tone over both sides. In this quality, an issue that remains in constant demand from collectors seeking a relic of Chinas illustrious past.<p><em>Tsao Kuns short presidency began in October 1923, after he openly bribed the National Assembly members with $5,000 in silver dollars to gain the office. This blatant act of corruption resulted in rival factions turning against him, with Tsao Kun eventually being ousted in a coup led by General Feng Yuxiang in October 1924.</em>
