Guangxu Yuanbao was one of the currencies circulated during the period of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty. Zhang Zhidong, governor of Guangzhou and Guangdong, first introduced the British coin machine to cast silver and copper yuan.

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". To avoid confusion, the Nanjing Mint marked its coins as "made in Jiangnan Province". It is the only provincial silver coin with no real name in the history of Chinese currency.
