袁大头是民国时期主要流通货币之一，“袁大头”是对袁世凯像系列硬币的口语俗称，严谨点说叫“袁世凯像背嘉禾银币”。北洋政府为了整顿币制，划一银币，于民国三年（1914年）二月，颁布《国币条例》十三条，决定实行银本位制度。《国币条例》规定：“以库平纯银六钱四分八厘为价格之单位，定名为圆”，“一圆银币，总重七钱二分，银八九，铜一一”，“一圆银币用数无限制”，即以一圆银币为无限法偿的本位贷币。根据这一规定，于1914年12月及1915年2月， 先后由造币总厂及江南造币厂开铸一圆银币，币面镌刻袁世凯头像，俗称“袁头币”或“袁大头”。

清朝灭亡之后，1912年4月袁世凯出任大总统。北洋政府鉴于当时铸币、纸币十分复杂，流通的中外货币在百种以上，规格不一，流通混乱，折算繁琐，民众积怨，同时也想借助货币改制以解决军费问题，便决定铸发国币。袁世凯为了提高自己的统治地位，把他的头像铸于币面，“袁大头”由此而来。

藏品介绍

中文名称：民国九年袁大头

英文名称：Yuan In the ninth year of the Republic of China

类别：杂项

规格：一枚

品相：美品

正面均为袁世凯五分侧面像，上列纪年，中华民国九年造。整体图案清晰，字迹精美，压力十足，是开门的真品银币。袁大头之所以会被称为袁大头主要是因为在这枚银元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，从这里来说虽然他不受到欢迎但是银元背后的历史价值是不容小窥的。

背面嘉禾纹，左右交互，下系结带，中铸“壹圆”二字，嘉禾纹与内齿处也出现了绿色氧化包浆，与钱币正面氧化一致。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。

袁大头九年是具有很高收藏价值的革命文物，具有深远的历史纪念意义；经历了百年风雨存世量也极为稀少，而且随着市场供需关系的变化而产生不同程度的波动，尤其是品相好的更为稀缺，因此很多都受到收藏爱好者青睐。

这枚钱币包浆自然，有典型的氧化银包浆，有包浆的钱币可以以此作为参考，所谓包浆是自然形成的氧化层，也有认为手盘包浆，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，是钱币不再氧化，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，版本特殊是钱币收藏中一绝，是不可多的收藏级银币，建议收藏，传世。

英文翻译：Yuan Tou was one of the main currencies in circulation during the Republic of China. "Yuan Tou" is the colloquial name for yuan Shikai's series of COINS, or, to be more precise, "Yuan Shikai's jiahe silver coin". In order to rectify the currency system, the Beiyang government, in February of the third year of the Republic of China (1914), promulgated the "national currency regulations" 13, decided to implement the silver standard system. According to the Regulations of the State Currency, "a unit of six silver COINS of kuping with a price of four cents and eight cents shall be named as the dollar", "a dollar of silver with a total weight of two cents, eight silver and one copper" and "a dollar of silver with an unlimited number of USES", that is, a dollar of silver shall be the standard loan with an unlimited law. According to this regulation, in December 1914 and February 1915, the coinage general factory and the Jiangnan Mint opened a dollar coin, engraved with the head of Yuan Shikai, commonly known as "Yuan Tou coin" or "Yuan Head".

After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, Yuan Shikai became President in April 1912. In view of the complexity of coinage and paper currency at that time, there were more than 100 kinds of Chinese and foreign currency in circulation, with different specifications, chaotic circulation and complicated translation. The people were resentful and wanted to solve the military expenditure problem by means of currency reform, so the Beiyang government decided to coin and issue national currency. Yuan Shikai, in order to enhance his dominance, had his head on the coin, hence the name "Yuan Tou".
