光绪二十七年七月，江南铸造银元制钱总局西厂代铸铜元。光绪二十九年(1903)，又在苏州原裕苏钱局建造新厂，次年三月厂竣开铸。币值分二十文、十文、五文、二文四等。十文铜元，红铜质，二十文铜元有红铜、黄铜两种，五文铜元，黄铜质，另有白铜样版及合背错版存世。

江南省设于清朝顺治二年(1645年)，省府位于江宁(今南京)。清代的江南省前身是明朝的南直隶江南省，范围大致相当于今天的江苏省、上海市和安徽省。康熙六年(1667年)清廷撤江南省，分设江苏和安徽两个省。南京造币厂将其铸造的银币标明“江南省造”，是因为当时苏州已经有一个专铸机制铜元的造币厂，其铸造的铜元均标明“江苏省造”。为避免混淆，南京造币厂将其铸造的银币标明“江南省造”。系我国货币史上唯一有名无实的省份银币。

江苏省造光绪元宝是钱币收藏的大类，历来都受到很多藏家的关注，不同版别的光绪元宝都有独特的韵味，值得藏家深品。特别以江苏省造光绪元宝为例，钱币类的在线拍卖中，江南省造和北洋造光绪元宝备受青睐，成为很多买家追逐的焦点。江苏省造光绪元宝由于存世量少，近年来价格逐步上升，越来越受收藏家的喜爱，特别是此枚钱币还是罕见的机制错版币！

光绪二十九年（公元1903年）七月，清政府拟订了《整顿圜法章程》十条，其中提出铜币专由造币总厂制造，保留南洋（江南）、北洋、广东、湖北四局为分厂。在制造铜元的同时，许多人提出了制造金币的主张，进入20世纪，兴起了关于建立本位制度的讨论，有人主张中国实行金本位制，在黄金储备不足的情况下，可以先实行金汇兑本位制（亦称“虚金本位制”）。

这种币制以黄金定价格标准，但国内实际流通的是铜元，铜元按黄金价值流通，是黄金的价值符号。在金本位制尚无实行条件时，当时普遍主张先实行银本位制，在此前提下，又产生了货币单位的“两元之争”。有人主张银元重一两，有人主张重七钱二分，即以元为单位。绪元宝是清朝光绪年间流通的货币之一。由两广总督张之洞率先引进英国铸币机器铸造银元和铜元，之后各省纷纷仿效。共有十九个省局铸造。

江苏省造光绪元宝十文铜圆正版铜圆的正面是：上缘“江苏省造”，两侧铸满文，下缘“每元当制钱十文”，中间是直读“光绪元宝”，中心有满文，译成汉字是“宝苏”两字。有珠圈，珠圈是由99个小点组成。

背面上缘“KIANG-SOO”，下缘“TEN CASH”，两侧各有一个实心五瓣花，中间一条长七尾飞龙，即从上往下数第三根尾毛和右边的云朵相连，第四根龙尾毛比第三根更长。珠圈由109个小点组成，外齿边在一公分的弦相对的弧边上有16条齿线。此枚钱币最特别之处在于——背面的龙纹图案由于机压错误，整体顺时针旋转了45°，十分罕见珍贵！

In July of the 27th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu, the West Factory of the General Administration of silver coin making in Jiangnan cast copper coins instead. In the 29th year of Guangxu (1903), a new factory was built in Yusu money Bureau of Suzhou. In March of the next year, the factory was completed and cast. The currency value is divided into 20 Wen, 10 Wen, 5 Wen, 2 Wen and 4 Wen. Ten Wen copper yuan is made of red copper, twenty Wen copper yuan is made of red copper and brass, five Wen copper yuan is made of brass, and there are white copper sample plate and combined back wrong plate.

Jiangnan province was set up in Shunzhi of Qing Dynasty (1645), and the capital of the province was located in Jiangning (Nanjing). The Jiangnan province of Qing Dynasty was formerly nanzhili Jiangnan Province in Ming Dynasty, which was roughly equivalent to Jiangsu Province, Shanghai city and Anhui Province today. In 1667, the Qing Dynasty withdrew from Jiangnan Province in the sixth year of Kangxi, and divided into two provinces, Jiangsu and Anhui. Nanjing Mint marked the silver coins of "made in Jiangnan province", because there was a mint with a special mechanism of copper coins in Suzhou at that time, and the copper coins were marked "made in Jiangsu Province". To avoid confusion, Nanjing Mint marked the silver coins of the minting "made in Jiangnan province". It is the only silver coin in the history of Chinese currency.

Guangxu Yuan Bao, a large category of coin collection in Jiangsu Province, has always been paid attention by many collectors. Guangxu Yuanbao of different sections has a unique charm, which is worth the deep collection of. In the online auction of coins, Jiangnan and Beiyang made Guangxu Yuanbao are favored, which has become the focus of many buyers. In recent years, the price of Guangxu Yuanbao in Jiangsu Province is increasing gradually because of its small amount of existence. It is more and more popular among collectors. Especially, this coin is still a rare wrong version of mechanism!

In July, 1903, the Qing government formulated ten articles of Association for the rectification of the circular law, which suggested that copper coins were made exclusively by the minting head office, and the four bureaus of Nanyang (Jiangnan), Beiyang, Guangdong and Hubei were reserved as branches. At the same time, many people put forward the idea of making gold coins while making copper yuan. In the 20th century, discussions on the establishment of standard system arose. Some people advocated that China should implement the gold standard system. In the case of insufficient gold reserves, the gold exchange standard system (also known as "virtual gold standard system") could be implemented first.

This currency system is based on gold price standard, but the actual circulation in China is copper yuan, which is the value symbol of gold. When the gold standard system was not available, it was generally advocated that the silver standard should be implemented first, and on this premise, there was a "dispute between two yuan" of the monetary unit. Some people claim that the silver dollar is two or two, while others claim to weigh seven dollars and two points, namely, the unit of the yuan. Xuyuanbao is one of the currency in the Qing Dynasty. Zhang Zhidong, governor of the two cantons, first introduced the British coinage machine to cast silver and copper, and then the provinces followed suit. There are 19 provincial bureaus casting.

The positive side of the bronze circle of the ten Wen bronze circle of Guangxu Yuanbao in Jiangsu Province is: made in Jiangsu Province on the upper margin, Manchu on both sides, ten articles for each yuan for money making on the lower edge, and the direct reading of "Guangxu Yuanbao" in the middle, with Manchu in the center, and the translation of Chinese characters into "Baosu". There are beads, and the bead is made up of 99 small points.

On the back, there is a "Kiang soo" on the upper edge and "ten cash" on the lower edge. Each side has a solid five petal flower, and a long seven tail dragon is in the middle. That is, the third tail hair from the top to the bottom is connected with the cloud on the right. The fourth dragon tail hair is longer than the third one. The bead ring consists of 109 small points, and the outer tooth edge has 16 tooth lines on the arc edge opposite to the chord of one centimeter. The most special feature of this coin is that the dragon pattern on the back rotates clockwise by 45 due to the wrong press °， It's rare and precious!

This collection is a collection of ten Yuan Yuan Bao made in Guangxu, Jiangsu Province. One of the currency in circulation during Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty. Zhang Zhidong, governor of the two cantons, first introduced the British coinage machine to cast silver and copper, and then the provinces followed suit.
