目前，关于中国第一枚机制银币的解说，均为光绪十年吉林省铸造的一套足色纹银重一两、七钱、五钱、三钱、一钱等银币，一面刻监制年号，另一面刻吉林厂平重量字样。据说：当时吉林将军希元奏请朝廷，言及该省制钱缺乏，私商钱铺所发钱票流通于市，造成银价曾昂、物价上涨，拟先从军饷中提5000两，交吉林机器局造足色银币：一钱、三钱、五钱、七钱和一两重的银币。不久，获朝廷批准开铸，史称吉林厂平银币。此套银币不是严格意义上的新式银币，因为它仍以两为单位，但它是中国最早的机制银币，开中国机器造币之先河。由于种种原因该套银币并没有获得正式发行，存世较少被泉界捧为银币十大珍币之一。

At present, the explanation of China's first machine-made silver coin is a set of full-coloured silver coins weighing one or two, seven, five, three, and one coin coined by Jilin Province in Guangxu Decade. On the one hand, the year number is inscribed, and on the other hand, the flat weight of Jilin Factory is inscribed. It is said that at that time, General Xiyuanzuo of Jilin invited the court to say that the province was short of money and that the money invoices issued by private money shops circulated in the city, which resulted in high silver prices and rising prices. Firstly, he planned to withdraw 50002 from the army's salary and pay Jilin Machinery Bureau to make full silver coins: one dollar, three dollars, five dollars, seven dollars and one or two double silver coins. Shortly afterwards, it was approved by the court to start casting, which was historically called Changping silver coin in Jilin Province. This set of silver coins is not a new type of silver coins in the strict sense, because it is still in two units, but it is the earliest mechanical silver coin in China and the first machine coin in China. For various reasons, this set of silver coins has not been officially issued, and it is seldom regarded as one of the ten most precious silver coins by the Quanjie.

吉林省开机制银币之先河，已经得到世人的公认，但是，随着藏家的思想解放，敢于暴露自己的秘藏东西，利用网上传播的优势公布自己的稀有藏品。光绪八年吉林厂平银币的出现，打破了光绪十年吉林厂平银币号称机制银币老大的地位。机制银币究竟是那一年却无史据可查。光绪十年吉林厂平银币因为得到朝廷的认可，自然名正言顺争得此桂冠。不过笔者倒是有其他的看法，说出来与各位泉友商酌。任何事情都是先入者为主，实际上这种“先入者为主”却不符合历史真实的一面。笔者藏有一枚银币，此币正面：在一方框内共有12个篆字并列三行，“光绪八年吉林机器官局监造”。

Jilin Province has been recognized as the pioneer of silver coins, but with the emancipation of Tibetans'minds, they dare to expose their secrets and make use of the advantages of online dissemination to publish their rare collections. The emergence of the flat silver coin in the eight years of Guangxu broke the status of the flat silver coin in the ten years of Guangxu as the leader of the mechanism silver coin. The year in which the machine-made silver coins were coined is unprecedented. In the ten years of Guangxu period, Jilin Changping Silver coin won this laurel because of its recognition by the court. However, the author has other opinions, speaking out and discussing with you Quanyou. Everything is predominantly a first-mover, but in fact this "predominantly a first-mover" does not conform to the true side of history. The author has a silver coin in his possession. On the front side of the coin, there are twelve seals juxtaposed in three rows in a box, which was supervised by Jilin Machinery Bureau in Guangxu Eight Years.

背面：在方圈内有“壹两厂平”四周均是挂灯勾线图案，背面是仿西汉草叶纹铜镜其纹饰。工艺精湛。小篆书法工整清晰刚劲。个人认为它是近代机制银币中的珍品。至于它的身世之谜，近几年随着藏币人员的不断增多，研究与考究史记的资料也零星公布于世。“有研究者从清代的奏折及报刊上发现，光绪八年造币机器尚未运到吉林机器局，故认为是伪品。而清人钟天纬（1840-1900年）《刖足集外篇》则为我们提供了深入研究的线索。钟天纬，字鹤笙，松江亭林人。同治十三年毕业于上海广方言馆。光绪五年随出使德国大臣李凤苞赴德两年，考察了欧洲各国。光绪七年因病回国，次年进江南制造局翻译馆翻译西书。光绪九年曾去广州三个月，向两广总督张树声条陈10事，主张设局购用机器。自行鼓铸金、银、铜钱。他在分析用机器铸金银铜钱的利益时提到，每副机器便宜的不足5万元，吉林局已买了一副。这表明至少在光绪九年之前吉林局已购置造币机器。其次，也有研究者认为，八年厂平银币的币文未用满文，不合定制，这一点考虑到历史背景也是可以理解的。当时造币钢模是由国外提供的造币设备，国外厂家按吉林机器局图纸刻制，吉林局方当时把银元仍视作银两，币文不设满文也在情之理”同时，这也有可能是它在满洲统治时期不能流通的主要原因之一。

此枚银币为藏家值得收藏的珍品之一。

Back: In the square circle, there are "one and two factories flat" with hanging lamp outline pattern all around. On the back, there are bronze mirrors with grass and leaf pattern imitating the Western Han Dynasty. Excellent craftsmanship. Xiaozhuan calligraphy is neat, clear and vigorous. Personally, I think it is a treasure of modern mechanism silver coins. As for the mystery of its origin, in recent years, with the increasing number of Tibetan currency personnel, research and historical records are also sporadically published. "Some researchers found from the memorials and newspapers of the Qing Dynasty that the eight-year coinage machine of Guangxu had not yet been transported to Jilin Machinery Bureau, so it was considered a forgery. Zhong Tianwei of the Qing Dynasty (1840-1900) provides us with a clue for further study. Zhong Tianwei, the word Hesheng, Songjiang Tinglin people. Tongzhi graduated from Guangzhou Dialect Museum in Shanghai in 13 years. In the fifth year of Guangxu, he accompanied German Minister Li Fengbao to Germany for two years and visited various European countries. Guangxu returned home in seven years because of illness. The following year, he went to the translation house of Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau to translate western books. Guangxu had been in Guangzhou for three months in the past nine years. He advocated setting up a bureau to buy machines from Governor Zhang Shushengchen. Cast gold, silver and copper coins by oneself. In his analysis of the benefits of machine casting gold, silver and copper coins, he mentioned that each machine is less than 50,000 yuan cheaper, Jilin Bureau has bought a pair. This shows that at least nine years before Guangxu, the Jilin Bureau had purchased coin machines. Secondly, some researchers believe that the eight-year Chengping silver coin is not in Manchu and not customized, which is understandable considering the historical background. At that time, the coinage steel mould was provided by foreign coinage equipment. Foreign manufacturers carved it according to the drawings of Jilin Machinery Bureau. At that time, the Jilin Bureau still regarded the silver dollar as two silver coins, and it was reasonable that the coin was not written in Manchu language. "At the same time, this may be one of the main reasons why it could not circulate during the period of Manchu rule. This silver coin is one of the treasures worth collecting.
