大清铜币，学名清代机制铜圆，钱面中央有“大清铜币”四个汉字，内嵌一小字代表地名，上端是满文“大清铜币”字样，两侧为年份。边缘中间分别“户部”二汉字，下端为“当制钱十文”。钱背中央为蟠龙，上端是“光绪(或宣统)年造”，各地铸造比较统一。铸造始于1900年（清光绪二十六年），止于1911年（宣统三年），流通时间较短。因其版面设计优雅，雕刻精良，且存世量极为稀少，大清铜币光绪年户部造当十被誉为中国近代制币中的十大名誉品之一。

大清铜币版式繁多，尤以当十者为最。多位清帝在位时发行过铜币来作为流通货币，铜币的使用具有重要的现实意义和历史意义，使交易逐渐便利起来。而如今，大清铜币也具有一定的收藏价值，许多收藏家对大清铜币爱不释手，而收集多种多样的铜币已经成为了他们的目标。

清代当十铜圆铸造之初，清政府并没有对铜圆的纹饰图案，作严格的规定。因此，各省局所铸铜圆尽管其币背皆采用龙型图案，但龙型各异，种类繁多。初入门的铜圆收藏爱好者，在按铸地省局名，按年号，按材质分门别类收藏当十铜圆时，尚容易分辨，而按龙图区分，则相对比较困难。所以，首先必须从币背龙图明显区别之处着手。

清代末期，不少的省局分别铸造了多种背龙图案的当十铜圆，尤其是在“光绪元宝”当十铜圆中，这种现象相当突出。如湖北造“光绪元宝”当十铜圆，即有大蟠龙、小蟠龙、特大龙、水龙、坐龙、珠圈水龙、珠圈坐龙等多种背龙图案。光绪三十一年（1905年），清政府为整顿圜法，下令停铸“光绪元宝”，改铸“大清铜币”，并由中央统一颁发祖模。故“大清铜币”的背龙图案相对比较统一，但也不是完全没有区别。如“鄂”铭“大清铜币”当十铜圆，则有“部颁大清龙”与“湖北大清龙”之分；“湘”铭“大清铜币”，也有“部颁大清龙”、“乙字龙”、“驼背龙”、“扫帚龙”之分。

The Qing Dynasty copper coin, with the scientific name of Qing Dynasty copper yuan, has four Chinese characters "Qing Dynasty copper coin" in the center of the coin face, embedded with a small word to represent the place name, and the Manchu character "Qing Dynasty copper coin" on the top, with the year on both sides. In the middle of the edge, there are two Chinese characters "Hubu", and in the lower end, there are ten characters "Dangqian". The central part of Qian Bei is a Panlong, and the upper part is "made in Guangxu (or Xuantong)", which is relatively unified in casting. The casting began in 1900 (the 26th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty) and ended in 1911 (the third year of Xuantong). Its circulation time was relatively short. Because of its elegant layout, excellent carving, and extremely rare amount of existence, the Qing Dynasty copper coins made in the year of Guangxu were regarded as one of the ten famous products in modern Chinese coin making.

There were many types of copper coins in the Qing Dynasty, especially the ten. A number of Qing emperors issued copper coins as circulation currency. The use of copper coins has important practical and historical significance, making the transaction more and more convenient. Today, the Qing Dynasty copper coins also have a certain collection value. Many collectors can't let go of the Qing Dynasty copper coins, and collecting a variety of copper coins has become their goal.

When ten copper circles were cast in Qing Dynasty, the Qing government didn't make strict regulations on the patterns of copper circles. Therefore, although the back of the coins of the copper circles cast by the provincial bureaus all adopt dragon patterns, the dragon patterns are different and various. The beginners of copper circle collection are easy to distinguish when they collect ten copper circles according to the name of the provincial bureau where they are cast, the year number, and the material. However, it is relatively difficult to distinguish them according to the Dragon diagram. Therefore, first of all, we must start from the obvious differences between the two types.

At the end of Qing Dynasty, many provinces and bureaus separately cast many kinds of Dang ten copper circles with dragon back patterns, especially in the "Guangxu Yuanbao" Dang ten copper circles, which is quite prominent. For example, Hubei made "Guangxu Yuanbao" as ten copper circles, that is, there are many back dragon patterns such as big pan dragon, small pan dragon, super dragon, water dragon, sitting dragon, bead circle water dragon, bead circle sitting dragon and so on. In 1905, in order to rectify the circular method, the Qing government ordered to stop casting "Guangxu Yuanbao" and to change the casting of "Qing copper coins", and the central government issued a unified ancestral mold. Therefore, the back dragon pattern of "Qing Dynasty copper coin" is relatively uniform, but it is not completely different. For example, if the inscription of "e" is "Da Qing copper coin", there is a distinction between "Da Qing long issued by the Ministry" and "Da Qing long issued by Hubei Province"; and the inscription of "Xiang" is "Da Qing copper coin", there is also a distinction between "Da Qing long issued by the Ministry", "Yi Zi Long", "hunchback dragon" and "broom dragon".
