历史

咸丰元年首先准备开铸“咸丰通宝”制钱。由于鸦片战争、列强的掠夺和太平天国革命运动的发生，钱局铸造制钱已很难正常进行，很多省钱局实际上处于停顿状态，即使开铸，也是偷工减料 。因而造成咸丰通宝制钱精好者少 。咸丰元年时，规定钱重一钱二分，至第二年，变为一钱，但具体铸行大多轻于规定重量。

historyIn the first year of Xianfeng, Xianfeng Tongbao was first prepared to make money. Due to the Opium War, the plunder of the great powers and the Taiping Revolution, it was difficult for the money bureau to make money normally. Many money saving bureaus were actually in a standstill. Even if they started casting, they were cutting corners. As a result, Xianfeng Tongbao is less proficient in money making. In the first year of Xianfeng, it was stipulated that the weight of money should be one cent and two cents. In the second year, it became one cent, but the specific casting line was mostly lighter than the specified weight.

货币背景

在太平军连捷，各地反清起义风起云涌下，清军疲于奔命，清廷惊慌失措。这时，清朝的军费开支大增，而税额收入大减，再加上鸦片战争的影响，导致财政拮据，为了筹款继续镇压太平军，缓解财政危机，于咸丰三年（公元1853年）清廷被迫鼓铸大钱。《大钱图录》说：“咸丰三年（公元1853年），军务日滋，清饷不能继，寿阳相国权户部议，请铸当十大钱，兼增铁冶以供度支。旋推及当五十，当百钱。巡防王大臣续请铸当五百，当千两种。”说明咸丰大钱是在迫不行已的情况下铸行的。“咸丰重宝”始铸当十大钱，继而又开铸当五十、当百和当百以上等，并令全国各省迅速铸造推行。“咸丰重宝”铸行情况十分困难复杂，原料稀少，大小轻重，铸造材质，铸造工艺，文字书体，钱文等，在各局甚至在同一局监内铸造时，都差异很大，故导致流通量不高，存世量稀少。

Monetary backgroundAfter the successive victories of the Taiping Army and the surging anti Qing uprisings, the Qing army was exhausted and the Qing government panicked. At this time, the military expenditure of the Qing Dynasty increased greatly, while the tax revenue decreased greatly. Coupled with the impact of the Opium War, the Qing government was forced to make a lot of money in 1853 in order to raise funds to suppress the Taiping Army and ease the financial crisis《 "In the third year of Xianfeng (1853 A.D.), the military affairs became more and more prosperous, and the Qing rates could not be carried forward. The Ministry of household affairs of Shouyang Prime Minister state proposed that the top ten coins should be cast, and the iron smelters should be added to support them. Spin and push when 50, when 100 money. The Minister of patrol and defense continued to ask for five hundred and one thousand two. " It shows that Xianfeng's big money was made under the circumstances of being forced to do so“ "Xianfeng chongbao" was first cast as the top ten coins, and then it was cast as the top 50, the top 100 and the top 100“ The situation of "Xianfeng chongbao" casting industry is very difficult and complex. The raw materials are rare, the size is light, the casting material, the casting technology, the writing style, the money style and so on. When casting in each bureau or even in the same Bureau, there are great differences, so the circulation is not high and the survival quantity is rare.
