Tantalizing Pattern Dollar by Luigi Giorgi (t) CHINA. Silver Dollar Pattern, Year 3 (1914). Tientsin Mint. PCGS SPECIMEN-62. L&M-73; K-643a; KM-Pn33; WS-0167; Wenchao-pg. 535#859 (rarity four stars); Shanghai Museum-Mr. Shi Jiagan's collection-pg. 138#634; Sun-III-2-14. Signed "L. GIORGI". A VERY RAREand immensely desirable type, the present pattern issue is tied with just two others at this level, and exceeded in the PCGS population report merely by another two. Offering the exquisite artistry rendered by Luigi Giorgi, this type exhibits great detail in the features of Yuan Shih-kai, especially within his hair, eyes, and moustache. Lightly toned, with a subtle golden-champagne hue as one approaches the edges and with tremendous dazzling brilliance radiating throughout. This type is the proposed pattern for the Yuan Shih-kai Dollar of Year 3 (1914). Vastly different from the adopted design, as this piece features a three-quarters facing portrait of general-turned-president, rather than the left facing portrait in profile found on the circulation issues. Two major varieties exist of this pattern, designed by chief engraver Luigi Giorgi. This is an example of the second type, which bears his signature just to the right of the bust along the interior of the rim--a substantially rarer emission than that which is unsigned. Estimate: $150,000 - $200,000. Click here for certification details from PCGS.

Giorgi簽字版樣幣 民國三年袁世凱像壹圓七分臉銀樣幣。天津造幣廠。 極罕且藏家垂涎的版別，此枚於PCGS與另外兩枚同分，另僅有兩枚更高分。雕刻師 Luigi Giorgi設計，袁世凱肖像栩栩如生，尤以其髮絲、眼睛、鬍子為甚。輕淺包漿，柔美的金香檳色於環形漸次形成，通體亮澤如鏡，風範極致。 民國三年袁世凱壹圓銀幣的樣幣，與最終採納的設計大相徑庭。此枚可見袁世凱的七分像而流通版則是左臉像。此設計存在兩個主要版別，均由雕刻師 Luigi Giorgi設計。此枚屬第二版別，右胸處內緣帶簽名。帶簽名的第二版較第一版無簽名更為難得。
