众所周知，古钱币是一个国家重要的历史组成部分，就其产生的特定年代而言，它不仅代表着中国货币文化各个历史时代的沧桑演变，也反映出我国历史、政治、经济的繁荣与兴衰，从这一方面上来说，它具有很高的艺术观赏价值和文物考据价值。另一方面，钱币多使用贵金属或者白银制造而成，本身具有不凡的高贵价值，又不可再生、图案雕刻精美、文字书写清秀有力，内容极为耐人寻味，银光闪闪、品相完整的钱币更具有一定的保值和升值空间，因而其艺术收藏价值更是无法估测。

As we all know, the ancient COINS is an important part of the history of a country, in terms of its specific s, it not only represents the era of Chinese history of monetary culture various vicissitudes of life evolution, also reflects the historical, political, and economic prosperity and the rise and fall, in this respect, it has a high ornamental value and textual research value of cultural relics. Silver coin, on the other hand, more use of precious metals or manufacturing, itself has the extraordinary high value, and non-renewable, carved exquisite, powerful writing and comely, content is very interesting, silver, appearance complete coin has certain value maintained and appreciation of space, more and more unable to estimate its art collection value.

清朝光绪年间流通的广东省造库平一钱四分四厘货币。由两广总督张之洞率先引进英国铸币机器铸造银元和铜元，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。译文：During the Guangxu Period of the Qing Dynasty, the currency circulated in Guangdong Province was four cents and four cents. Zhang Zhidong, governor of Guangzhou and Guangdong, took the lead in introducing British coin machines to cast silver and copper yuan, and purchased foreign machine-made silver and copper yuan. Many coins, including the Guangdong Money Bureau, are ordered from the famous London Birmingham Mint Co., Ltd. The intervention of British big industry has also stained silver coins with Western colors. On the positive side of coins, the integration of Manchu and Han cultures can be seen, while Qianbei clearly indicates the intervention of Western cultures.

光绪元宝在当时的推行牵扯甚广，从银元铸造权的收归到光绪元宝洋元延伸下来的“两”“元”之争，光绪元宝可谓举步维艰。接下来，本人会从历史方面买家您一探究竟。译文：The implementation of Guangxu Yuanbao at that time involved a lot. From the return of the casting right of silver yuan to the dispute between "two" and "yuan" extended from Guangxu Yuanbao to Yangyuan, Guangxu Yuanbao had a hard time. Next, I will take you to explore the history.

1889年，两广总督张之洞在广东设造币厂铸造银元。当时铸造的是光绪元宝库平七钱三分，后来又改成了七钱二分；并规定此类银元轻重大小及其配色，以便为此分类。由此分类出了五等：每元重七钱二分；次则三钱六分；再次则一钱四分四厘、七分二厘、三分六厘三种。这五等即是后来通称的“一元”、“半元”（五角）、“二角”、“一角”及“五分”银币。起初仅在广东、福建、天津等处流通，后来盛行于上海，这是中国自铸近代银元的开始。也正因此引起了之后各省的货币混乱。译文：In 1889, Zhang Zhidong, governor of Guangdong and Guangdong, set up a mint in Guangdong to cast silver dollars. At that time, Guangxuyuan Treasury was casted at seven-three cents, which was later changed to seven-two cents, and it was stipulated that the weight and color matching of this kind of silver dollar were light and small, so as to classify it. It is classified into five categories: seven cents for each yuan; three cents for the next; and four cents for one dollar, four cents for seven cents for two cents, and three cents for six cents. These five classes are later commonly known as "one yuan", "half yuan" (fifty cents), "two corners", "one horn" and "five cents" silver coins. At first, it was only circulated in Guangdong, Fujian and Tianjin. Later, it prevailed in Shanghai. This was the beginning of China's self-casting of Modern Silver yuan. It also caused currency chaos in the provinces after that.

1894年中日甲午战争前后，各省群起设厂自铸，舆论对自铸银元特别支持，康有为等纷纷上书称颂广东、湖北铸币的成效，痛陈洋钱侵蚀之害，认为自铸可以消除银两解库入不敷出的问题，还可裕国利民。不待清廷下令推广，各省便很快就在全国范围内展开。也由于各省各自为政，管理混乱，银元原来的优点被削弱，形式、重量、成色各省不同，有的差距较大，导致各种银元的市价涨落不定。各省银元都标上了本省省名，因品质不一，互相抵制，流通不畅。各省滥铸，数量过剩。清廷企图把银元铸造权收归中央，独占铸币盈利。光绪二十五年下令除广东、湖北两局外，其余全部裁撤。但这个措施立即遭到地方势力反对。于是清廷又准许增加北洋、南洋和吉林三局。1905年又设铸造银钱总厂于天津，铸造金银铜三品货币。只留北洋、南洋、广东、湖北四局作为分厂。译文：Before and after the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1894, the provinces set up factories to make their own coins. Public opinion gave special support to the self-made silver yuan. Kang Youwei and others wrote a book to praise the effectiveness of the coins made in Guangdong and Hubei Province. They complained about the erosion of foreign money. They believed that the self-made coins could eliminate the problem that the two banks could not make enough money and enrich the country and the people. Without the order of the Qing Dynasty, the provinces would soon be launched nationwide. Because each province has its own policies and confused management, the original advantages of silver yuan have been weakened. The form, weight and color of silver yuan vary from province to province, and some of them have a large gap, which leads to the fluctuation of the market price of silver yuan. Each province's silver dollar is marked with the province's name, because of the different quality, mutual resistance, circulation is not smooth. The provinces have cast excessively and the quantity is excessive. The Qing Dynasty attempted to return the right of silver coinage to the central government and monopolize the profit of coinage. In the twenty-fifth year of Guangxu, all but Guangdong and Hubei bureaus were ordered to be abolished. But this measure was immediately opposed by local forces. So the Qing Dynasty allowed the addition of three bureaus: Beiyang, Nanyang and Jilin. In 1905, the General Factory of Casting Silver and Money was set up in Tianjin to cast gold, silver and copper currencies. Only Beiyang, Nanyang, Guangdong and Hubei bureaus are left as branches.

“光绪元宝”洋元出现不久，清朝朝野上下发生了银元以“两”还是以“元”为单位的争论，币制未能统一。多数造币厂铸造七钱二分银元，少数造币厂在光绪三十三年（1907年）清政府制定“银币分量成色章程”法定银元为库平壹两后，铸行了部分 “库平壹两” “光绪元宝”。译文：Shortly after the emergence of the "Guangxu Yuan Bao" foreign yuan, there was a debate between the upper and lower levels of the Qing Dynasty about whether the silver yuan should be "two" or "yuan", and the currency system could not be unified. Most of the mints minted seven cents and two cents of silver. A few mints minted part of the "Kuping One Two" and "Guangxu Yuan Bao" after the Qing government enacted the "Articles of Charter on the Component of Silver Coins" in 1907.

1908年年底，清政府先后两次把银元单位问题征求全国二十四个督抚的意见。赞成“两”单位的12人，“元”单位的9人，两、元并用的3人。度支部主张设立币制调查局来广泛收集各方意见。但后因慈禧、光绪病故，政局变动，“元”单位趁乱出了头。盛宣怀为载泽出谋：币制尚待调查，而民生日用所需，不可一日无交易之物，可暂时先照早已通用的银元（即龙洋）。他们还拟订统一币制办法，由中央银行统一币制。在办法中设计的纸币、金币、银币和镍铜币，完全采用西法。其中银元分五等，一元银币重七钱二分。接着发动上海总商会上书清廷，强烈反对铸一两重银币。在内外夹攻下，摄政王企图行新政收买人心，令度支部再议币制，载泽就全盘否定了两单位。译文：At the end of 1908, the Qing government twice solicited the opinions of 24 governors on the issue of silver unit. There are 12 people in favor of "two" units, 9 people in "yuan" units and 3 people in combination of "two" and "yuan". The Du branch advocates the establishment of a monetary investigation bureau to collect opinions from all sides. However, due to Cixi and Guangxu's illness, the political situation changed, and the "Yuan" units took advantage of the disorder. Sheng Xuanhuai's plan for Zaize is that the currency system needs to be investigated, and people's livelihood needs can not be bartered in a day, but can temporarily follow the already commonly used silver yuan (that is, Longyang). They also worked out a unified monetary system, with the central bank unifying the monetary system. The paper money, gold coin, silver coin and nickel-copper coin designed in the method are totally in Western France. Among them, the silver dollar is divided into five grades, and the silver dollar weighs seven cents and two cents. Then the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce was launched to write to the Qing court, strongly opposing the coining of one or two silver coins. Under the attack from both inside and outside, the Regent attempted to buy the hearts of the people through a new policy, and ordered the Duzhi branch to reconsider the currency system. Zaize rejected the two units altogether.

因此，在当时，只有七钱二分的“光绪元宝”银元，再也没有一两的“光绪元宝”银元。如此看来，光绪元宝在推行过程中，所遇到的困难皆因当时各省势力为中饱私囊而导致其发行举步维艰，以至于目前存世中的光绪元宝少之又少，在收藏品市场中成为大众的宠儿。多数人可能这一辈子都无法亲眼看到此类钱币，下图是本人因工作之因有幸见到一枚光绪元宝库平一钱四分四厘。译文：Therefore, at that time, there were only seven-cent "Guangxu Yuanbao" silver dollars, and no more one or two "Guangxu Yuanbao" silver dollars. In this way, the difficulties encountered by Guangxu Yuanbao in the course of its implementation were all due to the difficulties of the provincial forces at that time, which led to the difficulty of its issuance. At present, there are few Guangxu Yuanbao in the world, and it has become the favorite of the public in the collection market. Most people may not be able to see this kind of coin in their lifetime. The following picture shows that I was lucky to see a treasure house of Guangxuyuan, which is four quarters of a dollar, because of my work.此枚光绪元宝库平一钱四分四厘，钱币正面珠圈中钤有光绪元宝，珠圈外上钤有广东省造，下钤有库平一钱四分四厘，背面珠圈内钤有蟠龙图，上钤有英文广东省造，下钤有英文一钱四分四厘币值。由于在历史的潮流中，被时间加以磨炼，其钱币纹饰稍有被磨的痕迹，但依然能看出钱币背面的蟠龙，蟠龙龙鳞有序，颗粒可见，龙纹细腻，龙眼凸起，炯炯有神，鼻梁俏上，威武霸气，彰显皇家威严。译文：This Guangxu Yuan Treasury is four cents a coin. There are four cents of Guangxu Yuan treasure in the front bead circle, four cents a coin outside the bead circle, four cents a coin in the bottom bead circle, four cents a coin in the back bead circle, four cents a coin in the upper part, four cents in the upper part and four cents in the lower part. Because in the trend of history, tempered by time, its coin decoration is slightly worn, but still can see the back of the coin dragon, dragon scales orderly, particles can be seen, dragon lines delicate, longan protruding, bright and spiritual, nose beautifully, majestic, highlighting the Royal majesty.

据本人了解，古钱币在收藏市场一直是比较热门的收藏品，虽然在历史的推移下，许多古钱币早已经失去了其原有的流通功能，但是却多了考古价值、艺术价值、欣赏价值、收藏价值等各种新功能。经过一定时间的演变，钱币爱好者以及钱币收藏家们的数量也已经发展到一定的程度，正是这些人的喜爱、追捧或者炒作，古钱币收藏的火爆热浪总是一波接着一波向我们袭来。如：华辰2004春拍中，广东省造光绪元宝库平一钱四分四厘币，以318.8万元成交，成为2004年钱币收藏者的热门话题，至今光绪元宝依然是收藏家千金难求之物。译文：According to my understanding, ancient coins have always been popular collections in the collection market. Although many ancient coins have lost their original circulation function with the passing of history, they have many new functions such as archaeological value, artistic value, appreciation value, collection value and so on. After a certain period of evolution, the number of coin enthusiasts and coin collectors has also developed to a certain extent. It is precisely these people's love, pursuit or hype, the hot wave of ancient coin collection always comes to us one after another. For example, in the spring photograph of Huachen in 2004, Guangxu Yuan Treasury in Guangdong Province made a quarter of a coin and traded for 3.188 million yuan, which became a hot topic for coin collectors in 2004. So far, Guangxu Yuan Bao is still a hard-won item for collectors.

宣统元宝之所以能成为古钱币中一大热点。除了银元材质珍贵，艺术价值高，同时，宣统元宝银币制作量比古钱和民国纸币少得多，加上清末、民国战乱连连等因素，宣统元宝银元存世量已稀少。译文：The reason why Xuantong Yuanbao has become a hot spot in ancient coins. In addition to the precious material and high artistic value of silver yuan, at the same time, the production of Xuantong Yuanbao silver coin is much less than that of ancient money and national paper money. In addition to the late Qing Dynasty, the war of the Republic of China and other factors, the stock of Xuantong Yuanbao silver yuan has been scarce.
