此枚袁大头是民国时期主要流通货币之一，“袁大头”是对袁世凯像系列硬币的口语俗称，严谨点说叫“袁世凯像背嘉禾银币”。在清朝灭亡之后，1912年4月袁世凯出任大总统。北洋政府鉴于当时铸币、纸币十分复杂，流通的中外货币在百种以上，规格不一，流通混乱，折算繁琐，民众积怨已久，且北洋政府同时也想借助货币改制以解决军费问题，于是便决定铸发国币。
This Yuan Datou was one of the main currencies in circulation during the Republic of China. Yuan Datou was a colloquial term for Yuan Shikai's coins. Strictly speaking, it was called "Yuan Shikai's image carries Jiahe silver coin". After the collapse of the Qing Dynasty, Yuan Shikai became President in April 1912. In view of the complexity of coinage and banknotes, the different specifications, confusion and cumbersome conversion between Chinese and foreign currencies, and the long-standing complaints of the people, the Beiyang government also wanted to solve the military expenditure problem by means of currency restructuring, so it decided to coin the national currency.
