藏品名称：民国二十一年金本位伍圆

此枚中华民国二十一年金本位币伍圆，于民国二十一年（1932年）上海中央造币厂铸。直径为4.5.44mm，重37.2g,厚2.93mm,钱币正面孙中山左旁边面肖像，上环铸有“中华民国二十一年”字样， 钱币背面为双帆船航行于海面，上环铸有“金本位币伍圆”六字，帆船左侧为海上日出和九条芒线，海面为三只低飞的海鸥。金本位即金本位制 （Gold standard），金本位制就是以黄金为本位币的货币制度。在金本位制下，每单位的货币价值等同于若干重量的黄金（即货币含金量）；当不同国家使用金本位时，国家之间的汇率由它们各自货币的含金量之比——金平价来决定。金本位制于19世纪中期开始盛行。

此枚钱币保存较好，其色泽自然，不论是文字还是图案，都显得自然细腻，深浅合适。孙中山头像更是栩栩如生，银元散发出一股王者的风范和历史沉淀的气息，设计新颖，铸工精湛。采用民国二十一年意大利版样币图案，所有样币钢模均由美国费城造币厂雕刻，并铸造少量样币。随后美方将钢模和样币一同交付民国政府。由于局势变化，各国相继取消金本位制，所以金本位币发行计划终止，在国内并未进行铸造发行，金本位币之所以名气大是由于他的历史性和稀有性决定的。民间极少有此枚珍品钱币的藏家，实属难得不可多见。

In 1932, the Shanghai Central Mint made this five yuan annuity standard currency. The coin has a diameter of 4.5.44mm, a weight of 37.2g and a thickness of 2.93mm. On the front side of the coin is a portrait of Sun Yat Sen on the left side. On the upper ring is the inscription "the 21st year of the Republic of China". On the back of the coin, there are two sailing boats sailing on the sea, and the upper ring is marked with "five yuan gold standard currency". The left side of the sailboat is sunrise and nine awn lines, and the sea surface is three low flying seagulls. The gold standard is the gold standard, and the gold standard is the monetary system based on gold. Under the gold standard, the value of each unit of money is equal to some weight of gold (i.e. the gold content of the currency); when different countries use the gold standard, the exchange rate between countries is determined by the ratio of the gold content of their respective currencies, the average price of gold. The gold standard began to prevail in the mid-19th century.

This coin is well preserved, and its color is natural. Both the text and the pattern are natural and delicate, and the depth is appropriate. Sun Yat Sen's head is even more lifelike. The silver dollar exudes the style of a king and the breath of historical precipitation. The design is novel and the casting is exquisite. All the steel dies were carved by the mint in Philadelphia, USA, and a small number of samples were minted. Subsequently, the US side delivered the steel mould and the sample coin to the government of the Republic of China. Due to the change of the situation, many countries cancelled the gold standard one after another, so the issuance plan of gold standard currency was terminated, and it was not issued in China. The reason why the gold standard currency is famous is because of its historical and rare nature. There are few collectors of this precious coin among the people, which is rare.
