光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。光绪年间铸造了一系列钱币，但江南省造光绪元宝由于不便于流通使用，故铸额极其稀少，更显珍贵。

Guangxu Yuanbao was one of the currencies circulated during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. Zhang Zhidong, governor of Guangzhou and Guangdong provinces, first introduced the British coin machine to cast silver and copper yuan. After that, the provinces followed suit, with 19 provincial bureaus casting. During the Guangxu period, a series of coins were minted, but because of the inconvenience of circulation and use, the amount of minted coins in Jiangnan Province was extremely rare and precious.

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铜币标明“江南省造”，系我国货币史上有名无实的省份铜币。

Jiangnan Province was established in Shunzhi, Qing Dynasty (1645), and the provincial capital was located in Jiangning (now Nanjing). The predecessor of Jiangnan Province in Qing Dynasty was Nanzhili Jiangnan Province in Ming Dynasty, which is roughly equivalent to Jiangsu, Shanghai and Anhui provinces today. In the sixth year of Kangxi (1667), the Qing government withdrew Jiangnan Province and divided it into Jiangsu and Anhui provinces. Nanjing Mint marked its silver coins as "Made in Jiangnan Province", because at that time there was already a coin factory in Suzhou which had a special machine for making copper yuan, and all the copper coins were marked "Made in Jiangsu Province". In order to avoid confusion, the Nanjing Mint marked its coins as "made in Jiangnan Province", which is a provincial copper coin in the history of Chinese currency.

江南省造甲辰光绪元宝库平七钱二分银币于1904年由南京造币厂铸造，该币正面由大小两层珠圈，在两层珠圈中间印有“光绪元宝”和“江南省造甲辰库平七钱二分”满汉文字样，在“江南省造”文字两侧 印有“HAH”和“CH”字样，还有一种是印有“HAH”和“TH”字样，是当时铸造该套银币的英国金属成分化验师和模具雕刻师的英文名字缩写。经过战争的洗礼和时代的变迁，但在藏友的精心保存下，上面的字体依旧清晰可见，锯齿亦能细数，实在难得。

The coin was coined by Nanjing Mint in 1904. The front side of the coin is made of two layers of Pearl circles, with the Manchu and Han characters of "Guangxu Yuanbao" and "Jiangnan Jiachen Kuping Qianbi" printed in the middle of the two layers of Pearl circles. On the two sides of the "Jiangnan Jiachen Kuping Qianbi", the words "HAH" and "CH" are printed. On the other side, the words "HAH" and "TH" are printed. Sample is the abbreviation of the English names of the British metal composition analysts and die engravers who made the silver coins at that time. After the baptism of war and the changes of the times, but under the careful preservation of Tibetan friends, the above fonts are still clearly visible, and the serrated teeth can be counted in detail, which is really rare.

银 币 背面镌有新版龙图，龙图上方镌刻着“江南省”英文字样，龙图下方镌刻“库平七钱二分”英文字样，龙眼为凹眼版，背面双花下无点，包浆比较老旧，有使用过的痕迹。

Silver coins have a new version of the Dragon map on the back, engraved with the words "Jiangnan Province" on the top of the Dragon map, engraved with the words "Kuping Qian Bi Fen" on the bottom of the Dragon map, the longan is a concave-eye version, with no spots under the back of the double flowers, the pulp is relatively old and has traces of use.

经历了时间的沉淀，仅存于世的数量也越发的稀少，使这枚元宝越发的珍贵。具有很高的历史价值，投资价值及收藏价值。

After the precipitation of time, the number of survivors has become more and more scarce, making this treasure more precious. It has high historical value, investment value and collection value.
