Silver Dollar Pattern, Year 3 (1914). Tientsin Mint. NGC PROOF-61.L&M-73; K-643A; KM-Pn33; WS-0167; Wenchao-859 (rarity:★★★★); Shanghai Museum/Mr. Shi Jiagans Collection, pg. 138 #634; Sun-II-2-14. Variety with signature. One of the RAREST Year 3 Patterns, this proof delivers beauty along with its place in the numismatic history of China. The care of the special strike is evident, with the polished dies transferring the impeccable design of Giorgi to the flan. The portraiture offers a different perspective of Yuan Shih-kai than the adopted side profile on the standard Year 3 Dollars. Some evidence of handling is seen, as there are a few scuffs and some friction on either side. Even still, this example presents a stunning appearance, and when coupled with its elusiveness, this Proof eminence should be considered one of the highest peaks in our entire Hong Kong Rarities Night offering.This type is the proposed pattern for the Yuan Shih-kai Dollar of Year 3 (1914). Vastly different from the adopted design, as this piece features a three-quarters facing portrait of general-turned-president, rather than the left facing portrait in profile found on the circulation issues. Two major varieties exist of this pattern, designed by chief engraver Luigi Giorgi. This is an example of the second type, which bears his signature just to the right of the bust along the interior of the rim--a substantially rarer emission than that which is unsigned.</em>
