China. Republic. AR Yuan 'Fat Man Dollar type', Year 8 (1919). Shànghǎi Central mint. L&M 76; KM Y-329.6. AR. 26.87 g. 39 mm. About FDC/FDC. Yuan Shikai (1859–1916) was a pivotal military and political leader in late Qing and early Republican China. He served as President of the Republic of China from 1912 and, in 1915, controversially proclaimed himself Emperor of a short-lived Chinese Empire. His attempt to restore monarchy met widespread opposition and was abandoned within months.Yuan’s portrait appears on the famous silver dollar introduced in 1914, commonly known as the “Yuan Shikai Dollar” or “Fat Man Dollar.” The coin became one of the most widely circulated and influential silver issues of early 20th-century China, setting a standard in weight and fineness that facilitated both domestic commerce and international trade.
