简介：

Brief introduction:

光绪元宝是清朝光绪年间流通的货币之一。由湖北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，除中央户部，地方省所铸铜元，皆在其正面上缘镌写省名。

光绪元宝是大清光绪年流通大面值货币之首，是我国首批引进海外技术的印发流通货币，对于现今也蕴藏了一定历史意义。北洋造光绪元宝北洋龙洋在中国近代机器铸币史上属一个大系列，其铸期历时甚长（从光绪22年—光绪34年[1896至1908年]），历经十余载，币模几经更替，即使同一铸造年份亦往往由于修模、币材、工艺技术、工厂管理等诸多因素，造成版别异常繁杂。

Guangxu Yuanbao was one of the currencies circulated during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. Zhang Zhidong, governor of Guangdong and Guangdong provinces in Hubei, took the lead in introducing British coin machines to mint silver and copper yuan, which were followed by other provinces. There are nineteen provincial bureaus casting. Except for the central household department, the copper coins cast by local provinces are all inscribed on the upper margin of their fronts.

Guangxu Yuanbao is the first large denomination currency circulated in Guangxu year of the Great Qing Dynasty. It is the first circulation currency to introduce overseas technology in China. It also has certain historical significance for today. Beiyang Guangxu Yuanbao Beiyang Longyang belongs to a large series in the history of modern machine coinage in China. Its founding period is very long (from 22 years of Guangxu to 34 years of Guangxu [1896-1908]). After more than ten years, the coin models have been changed several times. Even in the same foundry year, it is often due to many factors, such as repairing models, currency materials, technology, factory management and so on, which results in unusually complicated editions.

产生背景

Background

清代银币、纸钞、铜币并行，至嘉庆年间发行新式银元，而光绪年间铸行金、银币更多。洋务运动也影响到铸币业，两广总督张之洞曾于光绪十三年（1887年）委托使英大臣在英国订购全套造币机器，并在广东钱局首铸机制银元和铜元。其后，各省纷纷仿效，购制国外机械铸造银、铜元。包括广东钱局在内，许多造币机均订购自著名的英国伦敦伯明翰造币有限公司。英国大工业的介入，使银币也沾染上西方色彩。钱币正面鲜然可见满汉文化的融合，而钱背却明确标示了西方文化的介入。

In the Qing Dynasty, silver, paper and copper coins went hand in hand, and new silver coins were issued in Jiaqing, while more gold and silver coins were minted in Guangxu. The Westernization Movement also affected the minting industry. In 1887, Governor Zhang Zhidong of Guangzhou and Guangzhou commissioned the British Minister to order a complete set of minting machines in the UK, and first minted silver and copper yuan in the Guangdong Money Bureau. Since then, the provinces have followed suit and purchased foreign mechanical casting silver and copper yuan. Many coins, including the Guangdong Money Bureau, are ordered from the famous London Birmingham Mint Co., Ltd. The intervention of British big industry has also stained silver coins with Western colors. On the positive side of the coin, the integration of Manchu and Han cultures can be seen, while the back of the coin clearly indicates the intervention of Western cultures.

“光绪元宝”当时共十九个省局铸造。除中央户部，地方省所铸铜元，皆在其正面上缘镌写省名。计有：1户部；2北洋；3吉林；4奉天；5清江；6浙江；7江南；8广东；9山东；10福建；11湖南；12湖北；13四川；14江西；15河南；16安徽；17广西；18新疆；19黑龙江。

"Guangxu Yuanbao" was cast by nineteen provincial bureaus at that time. Except for the central household department, the copper coins cast by local provinces are all inscribed on the upper edge of the front. There are: 1 household; 2 Beiyang; 3 Jilin; 4 Fengtian; 5 Qingjiang; 6 Zhejiang; 7 Jiangnan; 8 Guangdong; 9 Shandong; 10 Fujian; 11 Hunan; 12 Hubei; 13 Sichuan; 14 Jiangxi; 15 Henan; 16 Anhui; 17 Guangxi; 18 Xinjiang; 19 Heilongjiang.

光绪元宝北洋造七钱二分的特征

一、北洋34年常见版别：

1、北洋34年长尾龙版长尾龙配长云（最常见的版别）

The Characteristic of Guangxu Yuanbao's Beiyang Seven-dollar Divide

I. Beiyang 34-year Common Edition:

1. Beiyang 34-year Long-tailed Dragon Edition with Long-tailed Dragon Cloud (the most common edition)

光绪元宝户部一两银币的特征

一、户部库平一两为中国最大的机制龙银。

二、 户部一两可由“两”字笔法从“人”、或“入”分为两版。

三、 该币市场价值高，市场价值应当在百万以上。

四、 在清代为了流通兑换行用时的方便，官铸的很多面值是一两的银币多有铸成实重为库平七钱二分的壹圆型银币版式。如戊申吉字大清银币库平一两、户部光绪元宝库平一两、光绪三十年湖北省

Characteristics of one or two silver coins in Guangxu Yuanbao Depot

First, the Ministry of Household, Kuping, is China's largest mechanism, Longyin.

2. One or two editions of the Ministry of Household Affairs can be divided into two editions from "person" or "entry" by the word "two".

3. The market value of the currency is high, and the market value should be over one million.

4. In the Qing Dynasty, in order to facilitate the use of exchange lines, many of the official coins with one or two denominations were of one-round silver coins with a real weight of seven cents and two cents of Kuping. For example, Wushen Jizi Silver Currency Bank of Qing Dynasty, Guangxu Yuan Treasury Bank of Hubu, Pingyuan Treasury, Guangxu 30 years in Hubei Province

造光绪元宝库平一两、中外通宝关平银一两等等，都有实际重量为一两型和重库平七钱二分的流通壹圆型两种版式。重库平七钱二分的壹圆型硬币实际重量为26.7g左右，外径大小为39mm，厚度2.5mm。该版铸造模具不同于实重平一两版，仅作为军饷流通过极少，存世量稀少，下图为光绪元宝实重七钱二两流通壹圆型真品。正面“光绪元宝”以及所有文字的笔划中均藏有圆点形暗记，丝毫不影响文字书法的大气沉稳。Mao Guangxuyuan Treasury Pingyuan, Tongbao Guan Pingyuan, and so on, all have two types of circulation circle with actual weight of one or two and seven cents of double Treasury Pingyuan. The actual weight of the one-piece coin with seven-dime of heavy storage level is about 26.7g, its outer diameter is 39 mm and its thickness is 2.5mm. This edition of casting mould is different from the one or two editions of Shizhuangping. It is only used as a soldier's salary circulation, and its stock is scarce. The following picture shows the one-round real product of Guangxuyuan Baoshi's seven-dollar-two-year circulation. The positive "Guangxu Yuanbao" and the strokes of all the characters contain dot-shaped symbols, which do not affect the stability of calligraphy.

五、 该币实际生产数量：本币在袁世凯批准后总共试制了六七千枚。

六、 Fifth, the actual production quantity of the currency: after the approval of Yuan Shikai, a total of 67,000 pieces of the currency were trial-produced.

六、 该币是中国所有龙洋图案银元（包括国外发行的所有银币）中，工艺最精湛，雕工最完美，浮雕感最强烈的品种，镜面平整光滑，纹饰的相惯线（相惯线——现代机械制图学术语，即平面与平面、平面与曲面及曲面与曲面之间的交线。）显得非常清晰，特别是户部一两系列银币铸造精美，字口、纹路和边齿深峻，完全是国外铸造的样币风格。作为准备流通的货币（尽管没有流通），其暗记防伪更是前无古人后无来者，无可匹敌，钱币表面的包浆醇厚，即便是对银元没有研究的外行也是爱不释手，极具观赏性。

户部一两银币，楷书文字书法极为精湛、大气，间架结构平衡舒展，在龙洋里首屈一指。而赝品几乎是千篇一律的具有文字不流畅、图像模糊的特征，其文字走失风神，一般含银量低，也没有什么锈色包浆，防伪暗记更是无从谈起！赝品伪币纯属东施效颦。

6. Among all the silver coins of Longyang pattern in China (including all the silver coins issued abroad), the coin is the most exquisite in craftsmanship, the most perfect in carving and the strongest in relief. Its mirror surface is smooth and smooth, and the phase inertia line of decoration (phase inertia line-modern mechanical drawing academic term, that is, the intersection line between plane and plane, plane and surface, and surface and surface and surface). It is very clear, especially the exquisite casting of one or two series of silver coins in the household, with deep words, lines and sharp edges. It is the style of foreign coins. As the currency ready for circulation (although not circulated), its secret anti-counterfeiting is unparalleled, unparalleled, the surface of the coin is mellow, even for the layman who has not studied the silver dollar is reluctant to give up, very ornamental.

With one or two silver coins in the household, regular calligraphy is extremely exquisite and atmospheric, and the shelf structure is balanced and stretched, ranking first in Longyang. The forgery is almost uniform and has the characteristics of unsmooth writing and blurred image. Its writing is lost, its silver content is generally low, and there is no rust paste. It is impossible to talk about anti-counterfeiting and secret memory. Fake counterfeit coins belong to Dongshi effect.
