辛亥革命以后，袁世凯在帝国主义支持下，聘任内阁总理大臣，后又窃取了中华民国临时大总统职位，在北京建立北平军阀政权。中国民国三年(1914年)北平政府颁发了《中华民国国币条例》确定一元为国币，即本位币，重七钱二分，银九铜一(后改为银占89%)。财政部在通知所属机关的文中说：“现在新铸银币，阳面恭摹大总统五分侧面像，上列‘中华民国三年’六字;阴面嘉禾二本，左右交互，下系结带，中铸‘壹圆’二字。”由天津造币厂开铸，之后广东、湖北、甘肃、杭州等造币厂相继仿铸，并在全国流通。不久袁世凯头像银币在国内金融市场上便逐步取代了清政府发行的“大清银币”、“光绪元宝”等银币。 After the Revolution of 1911, Yuan Shikai, with the support of imperialism, hired the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, and later stole the temporary presidential position of the Republic of China and established the Beiping warlord regime in Beijing. In the three years of the Republic of Chinathe Beiping issued the "Regulations on the National Currency of the Republic of China" to determine one yuan as the national currency, that is, the local currency, weighing seven yuan and two cents, and silver nine copper one (later changed to silver accounted for 89%). The Ministry of Finance said in the text of the notified organ: "Now the new cast silver coin, the sunny side of the president, the five-point side image of the president, the "three years of the Republic of China three years"; the two faces of the golden face Jiahe, the left and right interaction, the lower tie, Zhongzhu '壹圆' is the second word.” It was opened by the Tianjin Mint, and then mints such as Guangdong, Hubei, Gansu and Hangzhou were successively cast and circulated throughout the country. Soon Yuan Shikai's avatar silver coin gradually replaced the silver coins such as “Da Qing Yin Yuan” and “Guangxu Yuanbao” issued by the Qing in the domestic financial market.
