清代银币、纸钞、铜币并行，至嘉庆年间发行新式银元，而光绪年间铸行金、银币更多。洋务运动也影响到铸币业，两广总督张之洞曾于光绪十三年（1887年）委托使英大臣在英国订购全套造币机器，并在广东钱局首铸机制银元和铜元。其后，各省纷纷仿效，购制国外机械铸造银、铜元。包括广东钱局在内，许多造币机均订购自著名的英国伦敦伯明翰造币有限公司。英国大工业的介入，使银币也沾染上西方色彩。钱币正面鲜然可见满汉文化的融合，而钱背却明确标示了西方文化的介入。当制十文较多，当制二十文较少，具有很高的收藏价值，市面真品一币难求！
 

In the Qing Dynasty, silver coins, paper money, and copper coins were placed side by side. During the period of Jiaqing, new types of silver dollars were issued. During the period of Guangxu, more gold and silver coins were cast. The Westernization Movement also affected the coinage industry. In the 13th year of Guangxu (1887), the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Zhang Zhidong, commissioned the British Minister to order a full set of coinage machines in the United Kingdom, and first made silver and copper coins in the Guangdong Money Bureau. Since then, the provinces have followed suit and bought foreign machinery to cast silver and copper dollars. Including the Guangdong Money Bureau, many mints were ordered from the famous Birmingham Mint Ltd. in London, England. The involvement of British industry has made silver coins also contaminated with Western colors. The front of the coin rarely shows the integration of the Manchu and Han cultures, while the back of the money clearly indicates the intervention of Western culture. There are more than ten essays and less than twenty essays, which has a high collection value. It is hard to find a real coin in the market!
