精品推荐 ---广东省造双龙寿字光绪元宝

广东省造双龙寿字光绪元宝一枚，此币铸于光绪三十一年(1905)初，为纪念慈禧七十寿辰而铸。张炯伯在《广东省造银币》一文中写道：“惟本品因未纪年，殊难遽断，然观其图案，谐作福寿，环绕双龙，幕无英文，意含颂祝，大异常制。由此以推，成为纪念币之一种，专铸以祝慈禧太后七旬万寿者也。”

也有学者根据清末王述生所著《述庵秘录》的记载，认为系光绪二十年(1894年)广东巡抚刚毅为祝慈禧太后「六十寿辰」而铸造的祝寿币!据《述庵秘录》摘录：满人生性好财，其故由馈赠宫阃亲贵。包衣人严主仆之谊，主家贫困，包衣虽官宰辅，主至其家，则尊事若父母，有欲取辄携去，弗能较也。故满人应官多贪鄙，靡足言者。刚毅由清文翻译，历官部郎巡抚。不识汉文，好琐屑，自谓精能。巡抚广东，以甲午入都祝嘏（慈禧六旬寿），希大用。时内地通用银，广东独制银币。刚谓总办某道曰：“为我制银币三万（注：三种版别各三万枚还是三种版别共三万枚？不详），携入都。”某曰：“诺。”制成赍往，刚默然。至都，因内侍献慈禧，且言刚毅知万寿赏号繁，特铸币以表敬意。慈禧故喜，誉币新色可喜，遂饬收。刚寻入军机，某道亦不敢索偿。。。。

此枚双龙寿字币，包浆自然，轮廓清晰，品相保存相当完美。有相关记载，各大拍卖行已经把双龙寿字币的价格炒作到了天价。

This coin was made at the beginning of 1905 to commemorate the 70th birthday of Cixi. Zhang jiongbo wrote in the article "making silver coins in Guangdong Province" that: "however, this product is hard to break suddenly because of the lack of chronology. However, the design of this product is harmonious, making happiness and longevity, surrounding Double Dragons, without English screen, meaning praising and wishing, and greatly abnormal system. Therefore, tui became one of the commemorative coins, which was specially made to wish Empress Dowager Cixi 70 years of life

According to Wang Shusheng's "the secret record of Shuan" in the late Qing Dynasty, some scholars think it's a birthday coin made by Guangdong governor Gangyi in 1894 to wish Empress Dowager Cixi "60th birthday". According to the extract of "the secret record of Shuan", it's a good fortune to live a full life, so it's a gift from the palace to relatives. The coat maker is strict in the friendship between the master and the servant, and the master's family is poor. Although the coat maker is in charge of the officials, the master comes to his family. If his parents want to take it with them, they can't compare it. Therefore, a man should be greedy and despicable. Fortitude is translated by Qingwen, governor Lang of the official department. I don't know Chinese. It's so trivial. I call myself Jing Neng. The governor of Guangdong Province entered the capital at Jiawu to celebrate the sixth birthday of Cixi, hoping to make great use of it. At that time, silver was commonly used in the mainland, and silver coins were made exclusively in Guangdong. Just said the general office said, "make 30000 silver coins for me? Unknown), bring it into the capital. " Some said, "No." It's just silent. In the capital of zhidu, due to the dedication of Cixi by the internal attendants, and the firm and resolute knowledge of the numerous longevity rewards, coins were minted to show respect. Cixi is so happy, and the new color of the coin is so gratifying that it is collected. Just found into the military aircraft, some road also dare not claim compensation....

This double dragon longevity coin is natural in size, clear in outline and perfectly preserved in appearance. There are relevant records, the major auction houses have already hyped the price of shuanglongshou coin to the sky high.
