艺品在线2020精品推荐第7期：四川省造“光绪元宝”当三十

四川省于光绪二十九年（1903）六月在省城（成都）机器局附设成都银元局内开铸铜元。次年，又兴建铜币厂，专铸铜元。四川省铸造的铜元，按币面上缘所铸的纪地文字，可分“四川官局造”和“四川省造”两大体系。四川当三十铜元属于后者。

In June of the 29th year of Guangxu (1903), Sichuan Province started casting copper coins in Chengdu Silver Dollar Bureau attached to Chengdu Machine Bureau. The following year, a copper coin factory was built to cast copper coins. The copper coins cast in Sichuan Province can be divided into two systems: "made by Sichuan government bureau" and "made in Sichuan province" according to the characters of the land and discipline cast on the upper edge of the coin surface. When thirty copper coins belong to the latter in Sichuan.

四川当三十铜元，是未被获准发行的试铸币。未被获准铸发的原因，很可能是由于当三十的币值不符合户部关于铜元铸造的规定。中国的铜元，在初创阶段，各省是各自为政的，成色、图案参差繁杂，币制十分紊乱。清政府曾不断对币制进行整顿，力图划一。虽然收效不大，但还是显现了渐趋统一的趋势。四川当三十铜元铸于光绪三十年间，已处于“光绪元宝”铜元的后期阶段。根据户部的要求，当时各省铸造铜元，须援引广东成法，成色、图案及面值以广东省铜元为标准。广东省铜元的币值分别为二十文、十文、五文三等。显然，四川当三十铜元的铸造是不符合这一标准的。此外，在清代的铜元铸造中，面值当三十者，唯有四川一家。看来，在铜元面值问题上，其它省份的造币厂都是循规蹈矩的。

Sichuan is a trial coinage that has not been approved for issuance. The reason for not being approved for casting is probably because the currency value of thirty is not in conformity with the regulations of the Ministry of Household Affairs on copper coin casting. In the initial stage of China's copper coin, each province was in its own way, its color and pattern were uneven and complicated, and its currency system was very disordered. The Qing government has constantly rectified the monetary system and tried to unify it. Although the effect is not great, it still shows the trend of unification. Sichuan Dang 30 Copper Dollar was cast in Guangxu 30 years ago, and it is in the later stage of Guangxu Yuanbao Copper Dollar. According to the requirements of the Ministry of Household Affairs, when casting copper coins in various provinces at that time, they had to quote the Guangdong method, and the color, pattern and face value were based on the Guangdong copper coins. The value of copper coins in Guangdong Province is twenty, ten and five respectively. Obviously, the casting of Dang 30 Copper Dollars in Sichuan does not meet this standard. In addition, in the copper coin casting in Qing Dynasty, the face value was 30, and only one in Sichuan. It seems that the mints in other provinces follow the rules when it comes to the face value of copper coins.

这种四川省造“光绪元宝”当三十因不符合币制而被“禁令行用”理所当然，四川铜元局也无理申辩。正因为是禁止流通的试铸样币，数量自然有限，流传至今当然十分罕见。四川省造“光绪元宝”当三十被中外泉家和各种书刊评级为大珍当之无愧。

This kind of "Guangxu Yuanbao" made in Sichuan Province was taken for granted because it did not conform to the monetary system, and Sichuan Copper Bureau also made unreasonable arguments. It is precisely because it is forbidden to circulate the sample coins for trial casting that the quantity is naturally limited, and it is of course very rare to spread to this day. "Guangxu Yuanbao", made in Sichuan Province, deserves to be rated as Dazhen by Chinese and foreign Quan Jia and various books and periodicals.
