cf. L&M-63 (for prototype); cf. K-646 (same); cf. KM-Y-329 (same); cf. WS-0174-1 (same). "Military" or "Warlord" type. An attractive example of this crudely made rendition of the prolific 1914 issuance commonly known as the "Military issue", mostly likely produced around 1930-33 by the Communist armies, exhibiting a decent strike with even wear consistent for the grade displaying light gray patina with areas of richer coloration amongst the devices adding to its pleasing appearance.

民國三年袁世凱像壹圓銀幣。

"軍閥款。1914年版別的粗製款，此拍品細節仍優，鑄壓出眾，均勻磨損，淺灰色包漿，圖文間色澤更深，美輪美奐。 本版別或於1930-33年間由共產黨軍隊仿製，常被稱為""軍閥款""。"
