在民国建立后，中央财政几乎有出无入，财政危机十分严重。从短期来说，发行纸币亦不失为敛财妙法，只是纸币是银元的代表者，是兑换券，若没有银元的充分准备和广泛流通，纸币信用亦难确立。此时此刻，币制改革已是刻不容缓———“袁大头”银元正是基于此而诞生的，也是银元发展的必然结果。经过多年铸造，加上其信誉很高，“袁大头”数量增多，流通渐广，虽僻处边陬，也有其踪迹。“袁大头”银元的通行促进了银元的统一，也为“废两改元”准备了条件，从此固定了袁大头货币的地位。

“袁大头”在货币收藏界被称为银元之宝，它是中国近千种近代银币中流传最广、影响最大的银元品种，也是近代中国币制变革中的一个重要角色。

民国八袁大头

钱币正面均为袁世凯五分侧面像，上列纪年，中华民国八年造，收藏价值是极高的，袁大头之所以会被称为袁大头主要是因为在这枚银元背后是印有袁世凯侧脸的“大头贴，并且这枚银元也是由他发行的，首先银元值钱的其中原因在于它和人民币不同，它从外国的传入期是由清朝开始袁世凯为了解决在辛亥革命后的军费问题以及个人地位提高的重要途径。

背嘉禾二本，左右交互，下系结带，中铸“壹圆”二字。这些年，在银元收藏界，有一个名字，始终不乏耳闻，那就是“袁大头”，特别是这几年，随着金银价格走强以及市场的火爆，许多老银元的市场价格都有了多倍的涨幅，其中部分版本特殊，品相良好，存世稀少的珍品，更是不可估量。

银币前后氧化一致，有明显的氧化银呈现棕黑色，银币图案清晰，轮廓分明，表现压力十足，银色纯正，为银币之精品。

边齿压痕明显，表现压力十足，为真品无疑！

银币压力：由于清朝自民国使用英国进口造币机器，压力高达五十吨，这个技术直到民国结束也未被超越，所以国内仿制银币多为图案模糊不清，内齿相连，并齿，所以很多专业的钱币收藏者，一看钱币说是压力不足，就变相的说是仿品，真品银币，图案清晰，无论是边齿，还是内次，都十分规整，且不会出现相连，并齿的情况，内齿长短一致，整齐划一，不会出现长短不一的情况，边齿也不会有斜齿，或者齿痕极浅的情况，因为仿币是用一种小型的设备，围着银币边缘，滚上一圈，我们称之为滚齿，很多阴阳齿等特殊齿轮是后滚出来的，在钱币边缘形成一圈滚痕，所以我们看钱币首要的就是看它的压力是否足够，线条是否清晰，没有瑕疵，多余的痕迹。

这枚八年袁大头图案清晰，压力足够开门，包浆自然，底光柔和，所谓包浆是自然形成的氧化层，也有人为手盘包浆，两者不同，但同时都有保护钱币的功能，有如给钱币镀上一层保护膜，使钱币不再氧化，便于收藏传世，如果觉得钱币脏，可以用清水洗，再用棉布擦干，不要破坏包浆，破坏了包浆就相当于破坏了保护层，更重要的是包浆是鉴定新老钱币最简单有效的方法。细看这枚钱币品相完美，没有磕缺，损毁，变形等是不可多得的收藏级铜币，建议收藏，传世。

英文翻译：After the establishment of the Republic of China, there was almost no money coming in from the central government and the financial crisis was very serious. In the short term, issuing paper money is also a clever way to collect money, but paper money is the representative of the silver dollar, is the exchange voucher, if there is no full preparation of the silver dollar and widespread circulation, paper money credit is also difficult to establish. At this moment, currency reform is urgent -- "Yuan Datou" silver dollar is born based on this, is also the inevitable result of the development of silver dollar. After years of casting and with its high reputation, "Yuan Datou" has increased in number and spread more widely. The adoption of "Yuan Datou" silver dollar promoted the unification of silver dollar, and also prepared conditions for the "abolition of two yuan", thus fixing the status of Yuan Datou currency.

"Yuan Datou" is known as the treasure of silver dollar in the currency collection circle. It is the most widely spread and most influential silver dollar variety among nearly 1,000 kinds of modern silver coins in China, and also an important role in the reform of modern Chinese currency system.

Eight Yuan Datou in the Republic of China

Coin positive are five yuan shikai profile, the above calendar, the eight years of the republic of China, the collection value is extremely high, big head big head is called yuan yuan because behind this silver was printed with yuan shikai side face of the photo, and it also issued by his silver medal, the first silver dollar value because of it's different from the yuan, Its introduction from foreign countries was an important way for Yuan Shikai to solve the military expenditure problem and improve his personal status after the Revolution of 1911.

Back jiahe two, left and right interaction, the next knot belt, casting "one circle" two words. Over the years, in the silver collection area, has a name, is not always hear, that is "big head" yuan, especially in recent years, as the gold and silver price strength and market, and many there were more than the market price of the old silver dollar rise, some of these special version, good appearance, only rare treasures, is immeasurable.

Silver coin oxidation is consistent before and after, there is obvious silver oxide brown and black, silver coin pattern is clear, clear outline, full of pressure, silver pure, for the boutique of silver coin.

The edge teeth indentation is obvious, the performance pressure is full, is the genuine product undoubtedly!

Silver coin pressure: Since the qing dynasty republic of China, use the imported version machine, pressure up to 50 tons, the technology until the end of the republic of China, also not be transcended, so domestic imitation silver to design more blurred, internal tooth is linked together, and teeth, so a lot of professional coin collectors, a look at the coin, pressure is not enough, is a disguised form of replicas, genuine silver COINS, the pattern is clear, both side of tooth, Or within time, very neat, and there will not be connected, and teeth, the tooth length is consistent, uniform, there will be no length is differ, there will be no edge of helical, or teeth marks very shallow, because imitation coin is made of a small device, around silver edge, roll in a circle, we call the roll teeth, Yin and Yang are a lot of teeth after special gear is rolled out, A circle of rolling marks is formed on the edge of the coin, so the first thing we look at the coin is to see whether its pressure is enough, whether the lines are clear, there are no defects, and excess traces.

This eight years big head design clarity, yuan enough pressure to open the door, patina natural and downy light, the so-called wrapped slurry is a natural formation of the oxide layer, also some people to hand wrapped slurry, the two different, but at the same time have to protect the function of money, like a plated coin on a layer of protective film, make money no longer oxidation, facilitate collection handed down from ancient times, if feel money is dirty, can wash, reoccupy dry cotton cloth, Do not destroy the patina, which is equivalent to destroying the protective layer. More importantly, the patina is the simplest and effective way to identify new and old coins. Take a close look at this coin with perfect appearance, no damage, damage, deformation and so on. It is a rare collectible copper coin. It is recommended to collect and pass on.
