China 1 dollar Republic Coinage Sun Yat Sen Junk AU58 PCGS silver coin 1934

The China 1 Dollar Republic Coinage Sun Yat-sen Junk, 1934, is an iconic silver issue of the early Chinese Republic, symbolizing national renewal, maritime heritage, and modern statehood. Struck during a pivotal era, this coin reflects both political ideals and traditional imagery deeply rooted in Chinese culture.

The obverse features a finely engraved left-facing portrait of Sun Yat-sen, wearing a formal tunic. His calm and resolute expression is framed by Chinese characters along the rim indicating the Republic era and year of issue. The background is smooth, emphasizing the portrait’s sculptural depth, while the surrounding legends add balance and historical context.

The reverse displays a classic Chinese junk sailing ship with raised sails gliding across stylized waves. The vessel’s planks, rigging, mast lines, and sails are rendered in precise detail. Chinese characters flank the ship, denoting the denomination “One Dollar,” while the open sea beneath reinforces themes of trade, progress, and navigation.

Struck in silver and certified by PCGS as AU58, this example shows light circulation wear while retaining strong details and original surfaces. Cataloged as LM-110 / K-624, it remains one of the most sought-after Chinese Republican coin types, valued for both history and artistry. A powerful addition to any serious world or Asian numismatic collection.
