Unknown Silver Yuan [solved]

5 posts
Hi all,

I'm having a difficult time identifying this Chinese Silver coin that I have. I believe it is a 1930's Yuan from the Republic of China, however I have yet to see any other coins out there with the same front as this - crossed sword and bayonet-rifle w/ starred helmet.

Does anyone know if this is perhaps a wartime edition or perhaps a short-lived commemorative series?
Unfortunately I can't read Chinese, so any and all help would be greatly appreciated!

Nearest I can find are these 2 coins which both have different reverses:

it might be no help at all, I'm not knowledgeable at all on chinese coins.
