As of January 2020, the collection price of an ordinary Yuan Datou silver dollar is between 550-700 yuan.

However, there is another kind of Yuan Datou silver dollar whose collection price is thousands of times higher than the ordinary version. It is reported that this is the "signature version" trial coinage in the third year of the Republic of China, which is marked with "L.GIORGT" or the abbreviation "L.G", because this Yuan Datou is not used for circulation, there are currently very few in existence, and its market valuation has reached about 6 million to 8 million.

Yuan Datou was one of the main currencies in circulation during the Republic of China. "Yuan Datou" is the colloquial name for the Yuan Shikai statue series coins. To be more precise, it is called "Yuan Shikai statue back Jiahe silver coin". In order to rectify the currency system and unify the silver coin, the Beiyang government promulgated Article 13 of the "National Currency Regulations" in February of the third year of the Republic of China (1914) and decided to implement the silver standard system.
