Hung Hsuan — the reign title adopted by Yuan Shikai's son Yuan Keding — lasted exactly 83 days, from December 1915 to March 1916, before the restoration movement collapsed under military rebellion and Yuan Shikai's own death months later. Coins struck under this title were prepared in anticipation of a new imperial dynasty that never materialized. Most were never officially released into circulation.
