The last silver coin was minted during the period of the Republic of China, specifically in 1915 by the General Mint and the Jiangnan Mint. These coins, known as 'Yuan Datou' or 'Yuan Shikai's head coins', featured the portrait of Yuan Shikai and were minted as part of a currency reform to standardize the monetary system in China.

In fact, silver coins continued to be minted even after 1964, albeit in a different context.

These later silver coins, though, retained the 1964 date for approximately two additional years.
