1912年是中華民國成立的開始，舉國上下民主人士齊心和共同合作，創建新時代。袁世凱表面支持共和，實則覬覦民主勝利果實。1912年元月，各方民主力量經過幾十年的斗爭后，終于戰勝了封建清政府，在列強壓迫，內戰不斷的環境下，和平易幟，交接政權。
1912 was the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and Democrats all over the country worked together to create a new era. Yuan Shikai ostensibly supported the Republic, but actually coveted the fruits of democratic victory. In January, 1912, after decades of struggle, the democratic forces of all parties finally defeated the feudal Qing government. Under the oppression of the great powers and the constant civil war, they peacefully changed their flag and handed over the political power.
中華民國成立之初，各種制度都不健全，幣制也不統一，管理十分混亂，為了整頓幣制，紀念孫中山先生的偉大功績，臨時政府財政部長陳錦濤提議開始鼓鑄開國紀念幣，來取代清代機制銀元和銅元。
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, all kinds of systems were not perfect, the monetary system was not unified, and the management was very chaotic. In order to rectify the monetary system and commemorate Dr. Sun Yat-sen's great achievements, Chen Jintao, the finance minister of the interim government, proposed to start drumming the founding commemorative coins to replace the silver and copper coins in the Qing Dynasty.
圖案采用大總統孫中山肖像，以后的通用銀幣再改花紋式樣。孫中山令財政部行文，同意鼓鑄紀念幣，并命令其余的通用銀幣新花紋，“中間應繪五谷模型，取豐歲足民之義，垂勸農務本之規”，訓令財政部速制新模，分令各省造幣廠照式鼓鑄。不久，財政部就頒下新模給江南(南京)、湖北、廣東等造幣廠依式鑄造，這就是“中華民國孫中山像開國紀念幣”的由來。
The pattern adopts the portrait of Sun Yat-sen, the president, and the pattern style will be changed for the future general silver coins. Sun Yat-sen ordered the Ministry of Finance to write articles, agreed to drum-cast commemorative coins, and ordered the rest of the general silver coins to have new patterns, "the grain model should be drawn in the middle, taking the meaning of being rich in years and full of people, and advising the regulations of agricultural business", instructing the Ministry of Finance to make new models quickly, and ordering the mints in various provinces to drum-cast according to the pattern. Soon, the Ministry of Finance awarded a new model to mints in Jiangnan (Nanjing), Hubei, Guangdong, etc. This is the origin of the "Founding Commemorative Coin of Sun Yat-sen Image of the Republic of China".
開國紀念幣，俗稱“孫小頭”，是民國時期流通的主要貨幣之一。是第一枚將大總統頭像替換皇家龍圖的國幣，這意味著宣告清王朝統治的結束，中國從此進入共和制的新紀年。該幣正面中央為孫中山側面像，上下鑄有“中華民國開國紀念幣”隸書字樣，左右為五瓣梅花各一枝，意為“五權憲法”之意，周邊有珠點、齒狀裝飾。背面中央為中文隸書書體“壹圓”二字，左右各輔以嘉禾圖案，每枝一穗三葉，代表“三民主義”之意，上側鑄有“MEMENTO”(紀念幣)字樣，下側為“BIRTH OF REPUBLIC OF CHINA”(中華民國誕生)，左右上方分列六角星圖案。該幣十分稀少，集空心穗、異花、長六角星、英文等于一體，是銀幣喜好者及保藏家不斷尋求的一種珍品。
The Founding Commemorative Coin, commonly known as "Sun Xiaotou", was one of the major currencies in circulation during the Republic of China. It is the first national currency to replace the Royal Dragon Map with the head of the President, which means that the reign of the Qing Dynasty has ended and China has entered a new era of Republic since then. The front center of the coin is a profile of Sun Yat-sen, with the words "Founding Commemorative Coin of the Republic of China" inscribed on the top and bottom, and five plum blossoms on the left and right sides, meaning "Five Rights Constitution", with beaded and toothed decorations around it. At the center of the back is the word "one round" in Chinese Lishu script, which is supplemented by Golden Harvest pattern on the left and right, and each branch has one ear and three leaves, representing the meaning of "Three People's Principles". The word "MEMENTO" is cast on the upper side, and the word "BIRTH OF REPUBLIC OF CHINA" is cast on the lower side, with hexagonal star patterns on the upper left and right sides. This coin is very rare, integrating hollow spike, alien flower, long hexagonal star and English. It is a treasure sought by silver coin lovers and preservers.
孫小頭開國紀念幣被譽為“民國第一錢”，這意味著宣告清王朝統治的結束，中國從此進入共和制的新紀年。據專家介紹，孫中山開國紀念幣分多種，在當時既可以收藏，也可以上市流通。孫中山開國紀念幣當時鑄造數量極為有限，特別是帶六角星的目前已極為稀少，具有很高的收藏價值，市場上往往一幣難求！
Sun Xiaotou's founding commemorative coin is known as "the first money in the Republic of China", which means declaring the end of Qing Dynasty's rule, and China has entered a new era of Republic since then. According to experts, Sun Yat-sen's founding commemorative coins were divided into many kinds, which could be collected at that time or put on the market for circulation. Sun Yat-sen's Founding Commemorative Coins were very limited at that time, especially those with six-pointed stars, which are extremely rare and have high collection value. It is often hard to find a coin in the market!
