艺品在线2020精品推荐第7期：浙江省造光绪元宝当十

钱币虽小，却能够从中读出当时的社会文化与经济状况，从而管中窥豹。光绪元宝是钱币收藏的大类，历来备受钱币爱好者的关注，现如今，它在古玩市场上大放异彩，成交价格屡屡攀升，成为很多藏家追逐的焦点。

Although the coins are small, they can read the social culture and economic conditions at that time. Guangxu Yuanbao is a large category of coin collection, which has always attracted the attention of coin lovers. Nowadays, it has become the focus of many collectors because of its brilliant performance in antique market and the rising transaction price.

光绪元宝作为清代末期主要的流通货币发行了很多个版本，有一些发行时间短、发行量少的省份类银元尤为珍贵，其中“浙江省造”光绪元宝就是一种。浙江省当时作为清政府主要税收来源的省份之一，又是沿海开埠的主要地区对外贸易经济发达需要大量的贸易银元，但是浙江省自身没有先进的机制币铸造能力，无奈之下只得委托别处代为铸造，又因为清政府收回各地铸币权归中央统一铸造，所以“浙江省造”光绪元宝存世量相当稀少，备受钱币收藏家关注。浙江地处沿海，通行洋银甚早，清季虽已设厂造币惟大量产制银元是民国以后的事。由于筹建较迟，光绪二十五年浙局开铸后即奉旨停工，机器拆迁他处；营运期间所出银币数额不多，由于当时钱荒严重，生产铜元更有利可图，银币有充沛鹰洋可用而被冷落甚至搁置。

Guangxu Yuanbao, as the main currency in circulation at the end of Qing Dynasty, has been issued in many versions. Some provincial silver yuan with short circulation time and small circulation is particularly precious, among which "made in Zhejiang Province" is one of them. At that time, Zhejiang Province, as one of the main tax sources of the Qing government, was also the main coastal port opening area. The developed foreign trade economy required a large amount of trade silver dollars. However, Zhejiang province did not have the advanced mechanism to cast coins, so it had to entrust other countries to cast coins for them. Moreover, because the Qing government took back the minting rights of all localities and belonged to the central government, Zhejiang Province made coins The quantity of Xu Yuanbao is very rare, which attracts the attention of coin collectors. Zhejiang Province is located in the coastal area, where foreign silver was used very early. Although a factory was set up in the Qing Dynasty, it was only after the Republic of China that a large amount of silver yuan was produced. Due to the late preparation, Zhejiang Bureau stopped work immediately after its founding in the 25th year of Guangxu reign, and the machines were removed from other places. During the operation, the amount of silver coins was not much. Because of the serious shortage of money at that time, it was more profitable to produce copper coins. Because of the abundant silver coins available, they were neglected or even shelved.
