[introduction to collection]: ancient coins are of great ornamental and historical value, so they are favored by collectors like other antiques. The earliest foreign style silver coin in China is the "Guangxu Yuanbao" in the reign of Guangxu, commonly known as "Longyang", which is named after the dragon pattern on the back of the coin. The rare ancient coins are the real objects of currency history. Because they are no longer in circulation, few of them remain, and they are the witness of history.

光绪元宝是大清光绪年流通大面值货币之首，也是我国首批引进海外技术的印发流通货币。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。湖北省造光绪元宝当十，由英国伯明翰造币厂试铸，是伯明翰造币厂代中国试铸的四款铜币之一，后在中国大量铸行，存世不在少数，但伯明翰试铸样币极为罕见，铸工精美，保存极佳，是中国铜币中的珍罕品。

Guangxu Yuanbao was the first currency with large denomination in the reign of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, and it was also the first currency to introduce overseas technology. In 1887, he commissioned the British minister to order a complete set of mint machines in England, and cast the first machine-made silver and copper coins in Guangdong money Bureau. After that, many provinces followed suit. Guangxu Yuanbao Dangshi, made in Hubei Province, was trial coined by Birmingham Mint in England. It is one of the four copper coins trial coined by Birmingham mint on behalf of China. Later, a large number of them were coined in China, and there are not a few in the world. However, Birmingham trial coinage samples are extremely rare, with exquisite craftsmanship and excellent preservation.
