民國建立初期，北洋政府鑒于當時鑄幣、紙幣十分復雜，流通的中外貨幣在百種以上，規格不一，流通混亂，折算繁瑣，民眾積怨。同時，北洋政府也想借助貨幣改制以解決軍費問題，便決定鑄發國幣。袁世凱為了提高自己的統治地位，趁機把他的頭像鑄于幣面，“袁大頭”由此而來，因其首鑄于民國三年，又有稱“民三”者。 “袁大頭”首次的鑄造時間是民國三年，而且該幣被定為中華民國國幣，因此，它在我國的錢幣史上具有非常重要的地位。
In the early days of the republic of China, the beiyang government had complicated coinage and paper money. There were more than 100 kinds of Chinese and foreign currencies in circulation. At the same time, the beiyang government also wanted to solve the problem of military expenditure with the help of currency reform, so it decided to coin and issue national currency. Yuan shikai, in order to improve his dominance, took the opportunity to cast his head on the coin face, "yuan da da" came from this, because it was first cast in the third year of the republic of China, also known as "people three". Yuan da da was first minted in the third year of the republic of China and was designated as the national currency of the republic of China. Therefore, it has a very important position in the history of Chinese COINS.

“袁大頭”代表了中國近代的貨幣文化內涵，具有很高的觀賞價值和文物價值，更有保值的功能。雖然“袁大頭”在目前收藏市場上比較常見，價格也不算太高，但是由于其停止流通的時間比較久，加上解放初期時的大量兌換，造成存世量并不多，而在收藏流通中損失的也比較多，從而決定了它上升空間的龐大。另外，受價值規律的影響，這些錢幣價值直線上升，并隨時間推移，增值潛力越來越大。此枚袁大頭不管是看它的包漿還是品相還是色澤都是非常稀有的。目前民間留存的民國三年袁大頭壹圓數量已經非常稀少了，而且此枚袁大頭材質屬于貴金屬，收藏風險較小，升值空間很大，非常適合投資和收藏。
"Yuan da da" represents the connotation of currency culture in modern China. It has high ornamental value and cultural relic value, and has the function of preserving value. Although "yuan da da" is relatively common in the current collection market, and its price is not too high, but due to the longer time it was stopped from circulation and the large amount of exchange in the early stage of liberation, the amount of existence is not much, and the loss in the collection circulation is also relatively large, which determines the huge space for its rise. In addition, influenced by the law of value, the value of these COINS rose linearly, and with the passage of time, the appreciation potential is increasing. This yuan big head is very rare no matter its pulp, appearance or color. At present, the number of yuan da yuan yuan retained by the people in the third year of the republic of China is very rare, and the material of this yuan da yuan belongs to precious metals, the collection risk is small, the appreciation space is large, very suitable for investment and collection.
