艺品在线2020精品推荐第6期：河南省造光绪元宝当制钱十文铜币

中国铜元始铸于清光绪二十六年(1900年)。河南铜元始铸于光绪三十年。是年，河南巡抚陈夔龙奏准在开封设铜元局。光绪三十二年，开封铜元局改名为度支部造币汴厂，至光绪三十三年，月造额达48万枚。后清政府限制铸额，规定河南月造铜元30万枚。

Chinese copper coins were first cast in the twenty-sixth year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1900). Henan copper coin was first cast in Guangxu 30 years ago. That year, Chen Kuilong, the governor of Henan Province, set up a copper bureau in Kaifeng. In the thirty-second year of Guangxu, Kaifeng Copper Dollar Bureau was renamed as the Mint Factory of Du Branch, and in the thirty-third year of Guangxu, the monthly output reached 480,000 pieces. After the Qing Dynasty, the government limited the casting amount and stipulated that Henan should produce 300,000 copper coins every month.

至光绪三十四年二月，河南造币厂共造十文铜元2.3亿枚。民国初年，控制河南的军阀督抚为支付巨额的军政开支，铜元铸造数额骤增。民国二十年(1931年)，河南铜元局改名机器制造局，至民国二十二年秋，因铜源断绝，造币机构被撤销。

By February of the thirty-fourth year of Guangxu, Henan Mint had made 230 million ten-character copper coins. In the early years of the Republic of China, in order to pay huge military and political expenses, the amount of copper coins minted increased sharply. In the 20th year of the Republic of China (1931), Henan Copper Dollar Bureau was renamed Machine Manufacturing Bureau, and in the autumn of the 22nd year of the Republic of China, due to the cut-off of copper resources, the mint was cancelled.

此两枚红铜币是河南省造光绪元宝当制钱十文铜币，带阴阳太极图，河南铜元图案设计，具有浓厚的传统文化意义与突出的政治色彩。

These two red copper coins are ten-character copper coins made in Guangxu Yuanbao, Henan Province, with Yin-Yang Taiji diagram and Henan copper coin pattern design, which have strong traditional cultural significance and prominent political color.

藏品正面圈内铸有铭文“光绪元宝”，珠圈外上环铸楷体“河南省造”四字，底部铸货币价值：“当制钱十文”，中心为太极图。元宝背面内圈铸有神龙腾飞图腾，外圈铸有英文，品相精致，其审美风格独特。钱币虽小，也可管窥当时社会文化一斑。

The inscription "Guangxu Yuanbao" is cast in the front circle of the collection, and the words "Made in Henan Province" are cast on the ring outside the bead circle. The monetary value is cast at the bottom: "When making money, ten characters", and the center is Taiji diagram. On the back of Yuanbao, the inner ring is cast with dragon soaring totem, and the outer ring is cast with English, which is exquisite in appearance and unique in aesthetic style. Although coins are small, we can also get a glimpse of the social culture at that time.

其中，有太极图案的铜元“光绪元宝”铸于光绪三十年至宣统元年(1904～1909年)。这种铜元正面有“河南省造”、“光绪元宝”、“当制钱十文”等铭文，中有太极图。背有“HO-NAN”(河南)、“TEN CASH”(十文)等文，中有龙图。龙图分水龙、旱龙、八星水龙、大清龙等。清代，以龙图为铜元的主要图案的情形十分普遍，但以太极图为铜元的图案，则显得少见而具有鲜明的地方特色。

Among them, the copper coin "Guangxu Yuanbao" with Taiji pattern was cast from the 30th year of Guangxu to the first year of Xuantong (1904 ~ 1909). On the front of this copper coin, there are inscriptions such as "Made in Henan Province", "Guangxu Yuanbao" and "Ten Articles when Making Money", among which there are Taiji diagrams. There are "HO-NAN" (Henan), "TEN CASH" (ten texts) on the back, and there are dragon figures in it. Dragon maps are divided into water dragons, dry dragons, eight-star water dragons, and Qing dragons. In the Qing Dynasty, it was very common to use Dragon Map as the main pattern of copper coins, but it was rare to use Taiji Map as the pattern of copper coins with distinctive local characteristics.
