光绪二十九年（公元1903年），清政府拟订了《整顿圜法章程》十条，其中提出银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。在制造银元的同时，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”）。

In the twenty-nine years of Guangxu (AD 1903), the Qing government formulated ten regulations on the rectification of the law of the Yuan Dynasty, which proposed that silver coins were made exclusively by the mint General Factory, and the four bureaus of Nanyang (Jiangnan), Beiyang, Guangdong and Hubei were kept as factories. While making silver dollars, many people put forward the idea of making gold coins. In twentieth Century, there was a discussion about the establishment of the standard system. Some people advocated that China should adopt the gold standard system. If the gold reserve was insufficient, the gold exchange standard system (also called the "gold standard system") could be implemented first.

这种币制以黄金定价格标准，但国内实际流通的是银元，银元按黄金价值流通，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。

This kind of currency is priced by gold, but the real circulation in China is silver dollar, which is the value symbol of gold. In the absence of conditions for the implementation of the gold standard system, it was generally advocated that the silver standard should be implemented first. On this premise, the "two-yuan dispute" of monetary units arose. Some people advocate that the silver dollar should be one or two, while others advocate that the silver dollar should be divided into seven dollars and two cents.

在当时清政府想要将币制统一化，以整治当时的市场混乱，在1911年，也就是清朝宣统第三年，天津造币总厂聘请了海外数名高级技师，以全新的技术重新铸造新的银币，而当时欲推出的便是宣统三年大清银币，光版式就有七种之多，而长须龙版式便是其中的一种。但在这套新银币刚铸造成功时，因为武昌起义事件，打破了当时的帝制，而这批新版的银币就此停铸，只剩下少量的样式银币，而这批银币也就此流落民间。

At that time, the Qing government wanted to unify the currency system in order to recast the market chaos at that time. In 1911, that is, third years in the Qing Dynasty, the general Mint factory hired several senior technicians from abroad to remake the new silver coins with the brand-new technology. At that time, there were seven kinds of silver coins in the three years of Qing Dynasty. But when the new silver coin was just foundry, it broke the imperialism at that time because of the uprising, and the new version of the silver coin was stopped, leaving only a small number of style silver coins, and the silver coins were also left to the public.

长须龙因背面龙首之须特长而得名，属于试样性质，因图案精致、存世稀少而受人重视。大清银币是清朝末年宣统年间的一种机制币，根据背后的龙纹可分：长须龙，短须龙，曲须龙，反龙，大尾龙。

Long Xulong is named for its special features of the dragon head on the back. It belongs to the nature of the sample and is valued for its exquisite design and rare existence. Silver coin in the late Qing Dynasty is a kind of mechanism coin in Xuantong period. According to the dragon pattern behind it, it can be divided into long Xulong, short Xulong, Quxulong, anti-dragon and big tail dragon.

 

富安国际艺术有幸见征得一枚大清银币，珠圈外上端为满文，下缘为汉字“宣统三年”字样，中间为“大清银币”，左右两旁分列长枝菊花纹饰。钱币背面中间为刻有汉字“壹圆”，下缘为英文“壹圆”，神龙沿边缘自左向右腾云而起，环绕一周，13根尾须向上，龙头置上，两根曲须，龙珠在“圆”字与英文之间，此币包浆自然，流传数量极少，表现出了当时的国际政治、经济、文化的交融，极具历史意义。

Fu'an international art has the honor to obtain a Qing silver coin. The top of the Pearl circle is Manchu, the bottom is the Chinese character "three years of Xuantong", the middle is "Qing silver coin", and the left and right sides are decorated with long branches of chrysanthemum. On the back of the coin, there is a Chinese character "one circle" in the middle and an English character "one circle" in the lower margin. The Dragon rises from the left to the right along the edge, circling around for a week, 13 tail whiskers are up, the dragon head is set on, and two curved whiskers are set. The dragon ball is between the word "circle" and English. The coin has a natural paste and a small number of circulation, showing the blend of international politics, economy and culture at that time, which is of great historical significance.

 

在钱币收藏界享誉盛名的宣三系列中，有“曲须龙普通面”，以及“曲须龙签字版”，此二者仅次于“短须龙”，数量比“反龙”、“长须龙”、“大尾龙”都要稀少。如再算上枝叶、字体、签字内容的不同，那么版别更多。据孙浩《百年银圆》推测，按照龙形图案的设计不同，可以认为“曲须龙”“反龙”“大尾龙”由乔治(Giorgi)亲自操刀或者领衔，雕工上注重立体及线条流畅美感，“长须龙”“短须龙”由余子贞领衔的中国雕刻师团队完成，雕刻风格显得比较抽象。

Among the famous Xuansan Series in the field of coin collection, there are "quxulong common face" and "quxulong signature plate", which are second only to "short Xulong", and the number is less than "anti dragon", "long Xulong" and "big tailed dragon". If we add the difference of branches, fonts and signature contents, then there will be more editions. According to SUN Hao's "Centennial Silver Circle", according to the different design of dragon pattern, we can think that "quxulong", "anti dragon" and "big tailed dragon" are personally operated or led by Giorgi. The sculptors pay attention to the three-dimensional and smooth lines, and "long bearded dragon" and "short bearded dragon" are completed by the Chinese sculptor team led by Yu Zizhen. The sculpting style is quite abstract.

小编对此表示认同，这符合中西相同历史时期的审美情趣，一如郎世宁之于宫廷书画。从设计风格上来说，前三者比较“写实”，符合西方钱币主体人或动物具象，而后二者则偏向“写意”，以突出龙图高高在上、威严霸气之气度，也摒弃了宣二水龙困在圈内的束缚感。事实上，除了“曲须龙”，因为“比稿”而诞生了其余四种“淘汰”方案里的精美样币，而这些具备中西文化融合方案的龙洋样币，无疑是大清龙洋巅峰之作的集大成者，也成了钱币收藏中难得一见的珍品，更是国内外各大拍卖会钱币专场的贵宾，无一不是各大实力藏家竞相追逐的对象。

Xiaobian agrees with this, which is in line with the aesthetic taste of the same historical period in China and the West, just as Lang Shining did in court painting and calligraphy. In terms of design style, the former three are more realistic than those of the Western coins or animals, while the latter two are inclined to "freehand brushwork" to highlight the lofty and dignified manner of the Dragon chart, and also discard the shackles of Xuan two's Water Dragons trapped in the circle. In fact, in addition to Quxulong, the exquisite sample coins of the other four "elimination" schemes were born because of the "comparison of manuscripts", and these Longyang sample coins with the integration of Chinese and Western cultures are undoubtedly the masterpieces of Longyang Peak in the Great Qing Dynasty. They have also become rare treasures in the coin collection, and are also the VIPs of the coin special venues of major auctions at home and abroad. Efforts to pursue the object of competition.
