第一组是“民国十年、九年袁大头”袁大头是民国时期主要流通货币之一，“袁大头”是对袁世凯像系列硬币的口语俗称，严谨点说叫“袁世凯像背嘉禾银币”。辛亥革命以后，袁世凯就任“临时大总统”之职，后又成为正式大总统。当时，为了巩固国内政局稳定，发展民族经济，也为“制宪”和“称帝”作准备，于是发布《国币条例》，毅然决定在全国“统一币制”。银元正面中央镌袁世凯戎装侧面五分像，上端镌“中华民国十年造”和“中华民国九年造”繁体汉字，代表铸造年份；银币背面中央镌“壹圆”繁体汉字，代表币值，背由两株交叉的稻穗组成的嘉禾纹所围绕，稻穗下端束带，代表“家和万事兴”，银币直齿边，保存完好，币面有历史下来的氧化发黑。袁大头在货币收藏界被称为“银元之宝”，它是我国近千种近代银币中流传最广、影响最大的银元品种，也是近代中国币制变革中的一个重要角色。

The first group is "yuan Dadou in the 10th and 9th years of the Republic of China". Yuan Dadou is one of the main currency in circulation in the Republic of China. Yuan Dadou is a colloquial term for Yuan Shikai's series of coins, which is strictly called "Yuan Shikai's image carries Jiahe silver coins". After the 1911 Revolution, Yuan Shikai took the post of "temporary president" and then became a formal president. At that time, in order to consolidate domestic political stability, develop national economy, and prepare for "constitution making" and "becoming emperor", the state currency regulations were issued and resolutely decided to "unify the currency system" in the whole country. Yuan shikairong's side Pentagram is engraved on the front and center of the silver coin, and traditional Chinese characters of "made in the 10th year of the Republic of China" and "made in the 9th year of the Republic of China" are engraved on the upper end, representing the year of casting; on the back of the silver coin, traditional Chinese characters of "one circle" are engraved on the center, representing the value of the currency, surrounded by Jiahe pattern composed of two intersecting spikes on the back, and the lower end of the spikes is banded, representing "home and everything", and the silver coin is straight toothed, protecting The coins are well preserved and have been oxidized and blackened historically. Yuan Datou is known as the "treasure of silver coins" in the field of currency collection. It is the most popular and influential silver coin among nearly one thousand kinds of modern silver coins in China, and it is also an important role in the currency system reform of modern China.

袁世凯像系列硬币的口语俗称，严谨点说叫“袁世凯像背嘉禾银币”。北洋政府为了整顿币制，划一银币，于民国三年（1914年）二月，颁布《国币条例》十三条，决定实行银本位制度。《国币条例》规定：“以库平纯银六钱四分八厘为价格之单位，定名为圆”，“一圆银币，总重七钱二分，银八九，铜一一”，“一圆银币用数无限制”，即以一圆银币为无限法偿的本位贷币。根据这一规定，于1914年12月及1915年2月， 先后由造币总厂及江南造币厂开铸一圆银币，币面镌刻袁世凯头像，俗称“袁头币”或“袁大头”

Yuan Datou was one of the main circulating currencies in the Republic of China. Yuan Datou is a colloquial term for Yuan Shikai's series of coins, which is strictly called "Yuan Shikai carries Jiahe silver coins on his back". In order to rectify the currency system, the Beiyang government unified silver coins. In February of the third year of the Republic of China (1914), it promulgated 13 articles of the national currency regulations and decided to implement the silver standard system. According to the regulations of the state on currency, the unit with the price of 6.4% and 8.0% of the bank level pure silver is named as yuan, one yuan silver coin with the total weight of 7.2% silver, 89% silver and 11% copper, and the number of one yuan silver coin is unlimited, that is to say, one yuan silver coin is used as the standard loan currency for unlimited repayment. According to this regulation, in December 1914 and February 1915, the general mint and Jiangnan Mint successively issued a round of silver coins, on which the head of Yuan Shikai was engraved, commonly known as "Yuan tou coin" or "Yuan Da tou".

“袁大头”的铸造量很大，仅南京造币厂在1915年2月至1916年的近两年时间内，就达379819210元。还有资料介绍，仅壹元“袁大头”就铸造了75000万枚，民国三年的“袁大头”至少到1929年还在铸造，但是存世量却非常少，好多在解放时期都被收回，重新融化。最晚的是“O”版三角圆“袁大头”银元，上面虽然写着“中华民国三年”，但并不是民国政府铸造的，而是1951年期间由中国共产党铸造，铸造局为沈阳造币厂。因为当时新中国刚建国，我国云南、西藏等西南边陲少数民族居聚的地区在货币流通方面只认可信誉高的“袁大头”银元，为了稳定边疆地区政治与经济，特别发行了该版银元，以“O”版和“三角圆”为暗记。后来该版币逐渐被中国人民银行收兑，民间所剩不多，是收藏的珍贵品种

"Yuan Datou" has a large amount of casting. In the past two years from February 1915 to 1916, Nanjing Mint alone reached 379819210 yuan. According to other materials, only one yuan "yuan Datou" cast 75 million pieces. Yuan Datou in the three years of the Republic of China was still casting at least until 1929, but the amount of life is very small. Many of them were recovered and melted again in the period of liberation. The latest is the "O" version of the triangle round "yuan Datou" silver dollar. Although it says "three years of the Republic of China", it was not minted by the government of the Republic of China, but by the Communist Party of China in 1951, and the Mint was Shenyang Mint. At that time, when new China was just founded, only "yuandatou" silver dollar with high reputation was recognized in currency circulation in Yunnan, Tibet and other southwest border areas where ethnic minorities live. In order to stabilize the politics and economy of the border areas, this silver dollar edition was specially issued, with "O" edition and "triangle circle" as a secret record. Later, the coins were gradually received and exchanged by the people's Bank of China. There were not many left among the people, and they were precious in collection.

废两改元”准备了条件。

"Yuan Datou" is known as the treasure of silver dollar in the field of currency collection. It is the most popular and influential silver dollar variety among nearly one thousand modern silver coins in China, and it is also an important role in the currency system reform of modern China. In the Guangxu period, as silver coins were cast in various provinces, they were the same as the original silver grains, not only the weight and quality could not be unified, but also the quantity could not be controlled. With the outbreak of the 1911 Revolution, the provinces were eager to use money, not only to process and cast silver dollars, but also to cast copper coins, issue notes and military tickets indiscriminately, making the currency system more chaotic. After the establishment of the Republic of China, the central government's finance was almost out of the country, and the financial crisis was very serious. In the short run, the issue of paper money is also a good way to make money. But paper money is the representative of silver dollar and the exchange voucher. Without the full preparation and wide circulation of silver dollar, it is difficult to establish the credit of paper money. At this moment, the reform of currency system is urgent - "yuan Datou" silver dollar is born on this basis, and it is also the inevitable result of the development of silver dollar. After years of casting and high reputation, the number of yuan Dadou increased and its circulation became wider. Although it was in a secluded area, it also had its trace. The passage of "yuan Datou" silver dollar promoted the unification of silver dollar, and also prepared the conditions for "Abolishing two yuan to change".
第三枚是“云南省造光绪元宝”，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。光绪三十二年(1906年)，清政府在天津成立户部造币总厂，铸造“光绪元宝”银元和“大清银币”。光绪三十一年，云南获得批准设立分厂，厂址于旧宝云局地址上，现今昆明市钱局街，机器设备由德国进口，技术工人从四川调入，祖模系向天津厂请领，于光绪三十三年八月铸币完工，开始铸造银币。初铸银币现俗称“老云南”，面值有七钱二分、三钱六分、一钱四分四厘。

The third one is "Guangxu Yuanbao made in Yunnan Province". Guangxu Yuanbao was one of the currency circulating in Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty. Zhang Zhidong, governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, took the lead in introducing British coinage machine to cast silver and copper coins, and then all provinces followed suit. In 1906, the Qing government set up a minting factory in Tianjin to make "Guangxu Yuanbao" silver coins and "Qing silver coins". In the thirty first year of Guangxu, Yunnan was approved to set up a branch factory. The factory site was located at the address of the old Baoyun Bureau. Now, qianju street of Kunming City, machinery and equipment were imported from Germany, technical workers were transferred in from Sichuan, zumo system applied to Tianjin factory. In August of the thirty third year of Guangxu, the Mint was completed and silver coins were cast. The first silver coins are now commonly known as "old Yunnan", with a face value of seven yuan and two Fen, three yuan and six Fen, one yuan and four Fen and four Fen.
