拍品描述： 民国三年袁世凯像一圆银币。 此精製铸打元年袁世凯一圆 极為罕见 ，笔墨不足形容其光泽。其他年份的样币已知存世，其中包括民国三年的铜样币。但此币是元年发行中首枚获评精製（非样币）。币边更厚实，裁切更佳。髮丝细节纤毫毕现，反面嘉禾栩栩如生。镜面底板光可鉴人，图文轻微霜化，形成近浮雕效果。袁世凯银圆、民国版别及克朗币集藏中的基石。

CHINA. Dollar, Year 3 (1914). PCGS PROOF-65. cf. L&M-63 (for business strike); cf. K-646 (same); cf. KM-Y-329 (same); cf. WS-0174-1 (same). It is difficult to find the words appropriate to convey the sublime brilliance and radiating appeal of this EXCEEDINGLY RARE first year Yuan Shih-kai Dollar with a proof striking. Though a few proofs for this initial emission are known, the present majestic example is tied with just one other for the top spot at PCGS, with three lesser specimens observed, along with none by NGC. Rather appropriately, thicker, well-incised rims are seen, along with intricate hair detail and stunningly rendered leaves on the reverse. Meanwhile, the mirroring in the fields is extremely strong and, when combined with the subtle and enchanting nature of the frosting to the devices, yields a visage verging upon cameo status. A keystone coin for the most advanced collections of Yuan Shih-kai Dollars, early Republican issues, or world crowns in general.
