A new coin.
The China 1 Dollar Republic Junk Dollar Sun Yat-sen, 1934, is one of the most iconic silver coins of the Republican period, combining political symbolism with traditional Chinese maritime imagery. Issued during a time of national transition, this coin reflects both modern aspirations and deep-rooted cultural heritage.
The obverse presents a strong left-facing bust of Sun Yat-sen, depicted in a high-collared tunic. His portrait is bold and dignified, with clearly defined facial features, ear, jawline, and neckline. Surrounding the portrait are Chinese characters indicating the Republic of China and the year, evenly spaced along the rim. The fields show natural circulation texture consistent with use, enhancing the coin’s historical authenticity.
On the reverse, a classic Chinese junk ship sails across stylized ocean waves. The vessel features two tall sails with visible panel lines, rigging details, mast supports, deck structure, hull contours, and a stern extension. Beneath the ship, layered wave patterns create depth and movement. Chinese characters appear on both sides of the design, indicating the denomination “One Dollar.”
Struck in silver and certified PCGS AU, this coin retains solid detail despite circulation. A cornerstone issue of Republic-era Chinese numismatics, it is highly sought after by collectors worldwide for its history, artistry, and enduring symbolism.
