孙中山头像中华民国开国纪念币（俗称“小孙头”或者“孙小头”）来历，至1911年底辛亥革命之后，1912年1月3日，中华民国政府成立，由于币制尚未建立，除四川改铸大汉银币，福建改铸中华元宝外，主要的造币厂，大都仍沿用前清钢模铸造银币，以供流通需要。图案采用大总统孙中山肖像，以后的通用银币再改花纹式样。孙中山令财政部行文，同意鼓铸纪念币，并命令其余的通用银币新花纹，“中间应绘五谷模型，取丰岁足民之义，垂劝农务本之规”，训令财政部速制新模，分令各省造币厂照式鼓铸。不久，财政部就颁下新模给江南(南京)、湖北、广东等造币厂依式铸造，这就是“中华民国孙中山像开国纪念币”的由来。
中华民国开国纪念币是近代中国钱币中的精品，有着历史熏陶，是价值很高的革命文物，具有深远的历史纪念意义；同时，还是考古和研究中国历史文化难得的实物。 珍贵的中华民国“开国纪念币”记录了辛亥革命惊天动地的伟大历史，由于历经百年风雨，“开国纪念币”存世量极为稀少，尤其是品相好的更为稀缺，因此很受收藏爱好者青睐。
