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，同时也想借助货币改制以解决军费问题，便决定铸发国币。袁世凯为了提高自己的统治地位，把他的头像铸于币面，“袁大头”由此而来。

袁大头学名“袁世凯像背嘉禾壹圆银币”，是民国初期袁世凯出任大总统后统一币制发行的货币，该币反面为嘉禾图案，亦泛指生长茁壮的禾稻，古人视为吉祥的征兆，雕刻于钱币之上有有国泰民安、吉祥如意之愿景。

Yuan Tou is known as the treasure of silver COINS in the field of currency collection. It is the most widely circulated and influential silver coin among nearly a thousand modern silver COINS in China, and it is also an important role in the reform of modern Chinese currency system. Yuan Shikai became the great President in April 1912. In view of the complexity of coinage and paper currency at that time, there were more than 100 kinds of Chinese and foreign currency in circulation, with different specifications, chaotic circulation and complicated translation. The people were resentful and wanted to solve the military expenditure problem by means of currency reform, so the Beiyang government decided to coin and issue national currency. Yuan Shikai, in order to enhance his dominance, had his head on the coin, hence the name "Yuan Tou".

Yuan's scientific name "Yuan Shikai is like the back of jiahe one dollar silver coin", which was issued by the unified currency system after Yuan Shikai became President in the early period of the Republic of China. The reverse side of the coin is the pattern of Jiahe, which also generally refers to the growing and healthy rice. The ancients regarded it as a sign of auspicities, and engraved on the coin a vision of prosperity, peace and good fortune.
