The design above was only made for 3 years, 1932 - 1934. They are called Junk Dollars because of the Chinese junks on the reverse.
The 1932 piece was the only year minted with the sun, rays and birds included in the design on the reverse. The other 2 years were missing these design details.
Each weighs 27.6 grams, made of 88% silver, actual silver weight for each is .7555 troy ounces.
The first one is worth $400, the other about $6. Cool!
