【藏品简介】：光绪元宝是清朝光绪年间流通的货币之一。由湖北两广总督张之洞率先引进英国铸币机器铸造银元和铜元，之后各省纷纷仿效。共有十九个省局铸造，除中央户部，地方省所铸铜元，皆在其正面上缘镌写省名。光绪元宝是大清光绪年流通大面值货币之首，是我国首批引进海外技术的印发流通货币，对于现今也蕴藏了一定历史意义。广东省造光绪元宝在中国近代机器铸币史上属一个大系列，其铸期历时甚长（从光绪22年—光绪34年[1896至1908年]），历经十余载，币模几经更替，即使同一铸造年份亦往往由于修模、币材、工艺技术、工厂管理等诸多因素，造成版别异常繁杂。

[introduction to collection]: Guangxu Yuanbao was one of the currency in circulation during the reign of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty. Zhang Zhidong, governor of Hubei Province, first introduced the British coining machine to produce silver and copper coins, and then the provinces followed suit. There are 19 provincial bureaus casting, except for the central household department, local provinces casting copper yuan, all in its front edge engraved with the name of the province.Guangxu Yuanbao was the first currency with large denomination in the reign of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty. It was the first circulation currency to introduce overseas technology. It also has a certain historical significance for today. Guangxu Yuanbao made in Guangdong province belongs to a large series in the history of modern Chinese machine coinage. Its casting period lasted for a long time (from the 22nd year of Guangxu to the 34th year of Guangxu [1896-1908]). After more than ten years, the coinage has been replaced several times. Even in the same year, many factors, such as mold repair, coin material, technology, factory management, and so on, often lead to extremely complicated editions.

清代银币、纸钞、铜币并行，至嘉庆年间发行新式银元，而光绪年间铸行金、银币更多。洋务运动也影响到铸币业，两广总督张之洞曾于光绪十三年（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，购制国外机械铸造银、铜元。包括广东钱局在内，许多造币机均订购自著名的英国伦敦伯明翰造币有限公司。英国大工业的介入，使银币也沾染上西方色彩。钱币正面鲜然可见满汉文化的融合，而钱背却明确标示了西方文化的介入。

In the Qing Dynasty, silver coins, paper notes and copper coins coexisted, and new silver coins were issued in the Jiaqing period, while more gold and silver coins were cast in the Guangxu period. The westernization movement also affected the coinage industry. In 1887, Zhang Zhidong, governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, commissioned the British ministers to order a complete set of coinage machines in the UK, and cast the first machine-made silver and copper coins in the Guangdong monetary Bureau. After that, all provinces followed suit and purchased foreign mechanical casting silver and copper. Many of the mints, including the Guangdong money Bureau, were ordered from the famous Birmingham Mint Co., Ltd., London, UK. The intervention of the British big industry made the silver coin also stained with western color. The integration of Manchu and Han culture is rarely seen on the obverse of the coin, but the back of the coin clearly indicates the intervention of western culture.

该币是中国所有龙洋图案银元（包括国外发行的所有银币）中，工艺最精湛，雕工最完美，浮雕感最强烈的品种，镜面平整光滑，纹饰的相惯线（相惯线——现代机械制图学术语，即平面与平面、平面与曲面及曲面与曲面之间的交线。）显得非常清晰，特别是户部一两系列银币铸造精美，字口、纹路和边齿深峻，完全是国外铸造的样币风格。作为准备流通的货币（尽管没有流通），其暗记防伪更是前无古人后无来者，无可匹敌，钱币表面的包浆醇厚，即便是对银元没有研究的外行也是爱不释手，极具观赏性

Among all the silver coins with Longyang patterns in China (including all the silver coins issued abroad), this coin has the most exquisite craftsmanship, the most perfect carving and the strongest sense of relief. The mirror surface is smooth and smooth, and the lines of inertia (lines of inertia are the intersection lines of plane and plane, plane and curved surface, and curved surface and curved surface) In particular, one or two series of silver coins in Hubu are exquisitely minted, with deep mouth, lines and side teeth, which are completely the style of sample coins minted abroad. As a currency ready for circulation (although it is not in circulation), its secret anti-counterfeiting is unprecedented and unmatched. The surface of the coin is covered with thick paste, which is very ornamental even for laymen who have no research on silver
