民国虽然离现在的时间并不算久远，不过由于其战乱频发，能够保存下来的货币自然就很少了，再加上金币的铸造量本来就少，因此每当有金币出现时常都会拍出天价。

此枚袁世凯像洪宪纪元飞龙金币，乃袁世凯称帝时所铸纪念币。其币身正面模压袁世凯身着戎装之半身像，背面模压飞龙纹饰，上方镌刻“中华帝国”，下方镌刻“洪宪纪元”。据传意大利籍雕刻师乔——Luigi Giorgi雕刻作品。并由天津造币厂铸造此币。

整个铸币精美，乃民国初期机制币中的典型代表作之一。龙金币的铸币工艺在当时已达到登峰造极的地步,正面袁像栩栩如生，眉目传神，背面飞龙的形态没有采取中国传统龙文形态,而是西方的双翼龙,该币也是中国官方铸币唯一采用的外国龙,也是中国仅有的几枚帝王金币雕刻工艺最精湛的作品，其珍贵程度不可小靓。该币目前存世量极少，当年铸造数量非常稀少，经过文化大革命破四旧，流传到现在就好比凤毛麟角，也是收藏家梦寐以求的珍品。

Although the time of the Republic of China is not far away from now, but because of the frequent war, the money that can be preserved is very little, and the amount of gold coin is less, so the price is often taken whenever there is gold coin. Yuan Shikai is like the gold coins of Hong Xian, which is the commemorative coin made by Yuan Shikai when he was Emperor. Yuan Shikai was dressed in the bust of the military uniform and molded on the back of the dragon, with the inscribed "China Empire" above, and the "Hongxian era" underneath. According to legend, Italy sculptor Qiao - Luigi Giorgi sculpture. This coin is made by the Tianjin mint. The whole coin is exquisite, which is one of the typical representative works in the early years of the Republic of China. The coinage technology of the dragon gold coin has reached its peak at that time. The front yuan is vivid and vivid, and the shape of the back flying dragon does not take the form of Chinese traditional Longwen, but the two pterptera in the West. The coin is the only foreign dragon used by Chinese official mint, and the only most imperial gold coin engraving technology in China. Exquisite works, their precious degree can not be small. At present, the amount of the coin is rare, and the quantity of the coin is very rare in the year. After the cultural revolution, it has broken four old, and it is now like a rare treasure, which is also the dream of the collectors.
