Republic Yuan Shih-kai "Plumed Hat" Dollar ND (1916) XF Details (Cleaned) PCGS, Tientsin mint, KM-Y332, L&M-942, Kann-663, WS-0097. Struck for the inauguration of Yuan Shih-kai as Emperor Hung-hsien. Among the most sought-after portrait Dollars from the tumultuous Republic period are those featuring Yuan Shih-kai's front-facing bust with the eponymous plumed hat, especially when featuring the flying dragon reverse. Though examination from an angle reveals fine hairlines across the surfaces, this piece maintains its visual allure, with retoned surfaces and ample remnant detail to entice the type collector.
