In 1929, the Chinese Ministry of Finance ordered a new design for the then proposed Dr. Sun Yat-sen Dollar. Patterns were submitted from the world's five leading mints: Italy, Japan, England, United States and Austria. This represents the proposal from the mint in Vienna, Austria, engraved by Richard Placht. Upon completion, the various mints shipped the dies as well as samples of the new patterns to China. Many of the patterns were re-struck in China at the Hangchow Mint, which accounts for their availability today.

From the Mas Fera Collection.
