Long enough, new enough. Well written and seems compliant with policy. My only worry is that the Kann book this is sourced to is self published, but from searching he was an established subject matter expert who sees use by others, so I think it's fine. I cannot find a copy of the book but I will AGF. Good to go. Image is good. PARAKANYAA (talk) 23:28, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Prose and MoS

Lead and infobox

denominations of the coin was also produced,, I'm guessing it should be "were"

Background

No issues.

Design and production

No issues.

Later production

the reëmergence, I think this explains itself hehe
- This is correct according to some style guides, and MoS says nothing for or against it. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 15:46, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Better title?

"Memento dollar" seems like a bit of an unspecific name. The Chinese Wikipedia page title is "Sun Yat-sen Founding memento coin". I think that "Sun Yat-sen momento coin" would be a better name for this article. Kzyx (talk) 04:44, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While that would be more specific, we have to follow WP:COMMONNAME. English-language sources almost universally call it a Memento Dollar - whether that be Kann 1953, Wright 1978, PCGS, or NGC. "Sun Yat-sen memento coin" only gives a handful of results, while "Memento dollar" gives thousands, all seemingly about this coin. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 05:01, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There are also Li Yuanhong memento dollars and Yuan Shikai memento dollars (distinct from Yuan Shikai coinage, whose Chinese Wikipedia page is zh:袁大头) Kzyx (talk) 18:02, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
