China "Fat Man" Shih Kai Silver Dollar PCGS Genuine (Random Year)
The China "Fat Man" Shih Kai Silver Dollar PCGS Genuine (Random Year) is a historic and highly recognizable silver dollar from the early years of the Republic of China. Graded Genuine by PCGS, each coin contains 0.7554 troy oz of .890 fine silver and carries a face value of 1 Chinese Dollar. Random-year examples offer variety while maintaining the same classic design and historical significance.
Yuan Shikai (also known as Shih Kai), a powerful military leader and politician, served as the first President of the Republic of China after the fall of the Qing Dynasty. In 1914–1915, he ordered the minting of these silver dollars featuring his own portrait. The coins earned the affectionate nickname “Fat Man Dollars” due to Yuan’s stout appearance. Although his attempt to restore the monarchy as Emperor Hongxian in 1915–1916 ultimately failed, these silver dollars remain one of the most iconic and collectible issues from China’s Republican period.
