光绪元宝为清朝光绪年间流通的货币之一。清代银币、纸币、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。

Guangxu yuan bao was one of the currency in the qing dynasty. In the qing dynasty, silver COINS, banknotes and copper COINS were issued in parallel. In the reign of emperor jiaqing, new silver COINS were issued, while in the reign of emperor guangxu, more gold and silver COINS were minted. The westernization movement also affected the coin industry. In 1887, zhang zhidong, governor of guangdong and guangdong province, commissioned British ministers to order a complete set of mint machines in Britain and first cast silver and copper yuan in the guangdong money bureau. Later, the provinces followed suit and bought foreign machinery to produce silver.

广东带“寿”币共有两种,一种为“库平重一两”,一种为“库平七钱二”。

There are two kinds of "longevity" COINS in guangdong, one is "kuping heavy one or two", the other is "kuping seven money two".

其铸造均没有确切的史料记载,故钱币界对它们的具体铸造情况历来有多种解读,且无定论。据民国时期的张炯伯《广东省造银币》记载:“惟本品因未纪年,殊难遽断,然观其图案,谐作福寿,环绕双龙,幕无英文,意含颂祝,大异常制。由此以推,成为纪念币之一种,专铸以祝慈禧太后七旬万寿者也。”所以张炯伯认为这种银币是在光绪三十一年(1905年)为庆贺慈禧太后七十寿辰而铸造的。

There is no accurate historical record of their casting, so the coin circle has always had a variety of interpretations on their casting, and there is no conclusion. According to zhang qiangbo's "coin making in guangdong province" in the period of the republic of China: "but this product is not the year, it is difficult to abruptly break, but the view of its design, the harmony of longevity, surrounded by double dragon, no English screen, meaning to contain a blessing, big abnormal system. From this, it became one of the commemorative COINS, specially made to wish the empress dowager cixi a longevity of seventy years. So zhang believes that the silver COINS were minted in the 31st year of the reign of emperor guangxu (1905) to celebrate the 70th birthday of the empress dowager cixi.

但清末王述生所著《述庵秘录》的记载,有学者持此类银币是光绪二十年(1894年)广东巡抚刚毅为祝慈禧太后六十寿辰而铸造的祝寿币,“实铸额不详。”张执群先生在《造币钢模》书中收录有“广东省造寿字银币,钢模数套,分七钱二分和一两共两种”之言,故认为还有一版七钱二分,可并未流通,或是试铸币、错版币,系第一批送京的样币,为慈禧60大寿所铸,因有个分字不吉利去掉分字改铸为七钱二,或慈禧70大寿祝寿去掉分字改铸为七钱二。

However, according to the record of shu an mi lu written by wang shu-sheng in the late qing dynasty, some scholars hold that this kind of silver coin was minted in the 20th year of the reign of emperor guangxu (1894) by the governor of guangdong gang yi for celebrating the 60th birthday of the empress dowager cixi. Mr Zhang holding group in his book "coinage steel mould with" guangdong silver made life of words, the number die set, is divided into seven binary money and one or two ", seven money think there is a version of binary, can not circulate, or COINS, wrong version of the currency, is the first to send jing specimen, as announced by the 60th birthday, because there is a word unlucky to remove points word seven money instead of casting for two, or the dowager's 70th birthday birthday to remove seven money instead of casting for two points word.

库平壹两的版式,由于广东省当时铸造此币的目的是奉献清廷以祝慈禧太后万寿,所以铸额不大,大多奉献给清廷或赠于当时的达官显贵,民间流通的很少,真品凤毛麟角。此枚广东省造双龙寿字币乃罕见的库平壹两版式,正面:珠圈内铸有满、汉文“光绪元宝”四字,珠圈外上端镌 “广东省造”四字,下端镌刻楷书“库平重壹两”五字,左右两侧各镌有一蝙蝠图案。背面:珠圈内铸一圆形“寿”字,珠圈外铸双龙戏珠图案。

As the coin was minted in guangdong province at that time to dedicate the qing dynasty to the empress dowager cixi wanshou, the amount of the coin was not large, and most of it was dedicated to the qing dynasty or given to officials and dignitaries at that time. This piece of guangdong province makes double long life character coin is rare kuping one two format, front: the bead ring is cast inside the man, the Chinese character "guangxu yuan treasure" four characters, the bead ring outside engraved "guangdong province makes" four characters, the bottom engraved script "kuping heavy one two" five characters, left and right sides each engraved with a bat pattern. Back side: cast a circle inside the bead ring "long" character, outside the bead ring cast double dragon play bead design.

此币有一个显著特色,币面两侧各有一蝙蝠图案,寓有吉祥的含义。因为,蝙蝠的“蝠”字与幸福的“福”字读音相同,而把蝙蝠图案铸在币面上,系取“蝠”、“福”两字谐音。将它与背面的“寿”字相对应取意,便构成“福寿双全”之意。由于以上两种版式的寿字双龙币中,广东省造光绪元宝寿字双龙库平重壹两不便于流通使用,故铸额极其稀少,而实重库平七钱二的钱币为当时通行的壹圆型流通币,其铸造量和存世量均大于一两币。

This coin has a distinctive feature, on both sides of the coin have a bat pattern, auspicious meaning. Because, bat "bat" word and happiness "fu" word pronunciation is the same, and the bat pattern cast on the coin, tie "bat", "fu" homophonic. Will it and the reverse side of the "longevity" corresponding to the meaning of the word, then constitute a "blessing and longevity" meaning. Due to the above two kinds of layout of the long double dragon coin, made in guangdong province guangxu yuanbao long double dragon kuping heavy one two is not easy to circulate, so the casting amount is extremely rare, and the real heavy kuping seven two COINS for the prevailing circulation of the round coin, the amount of casting and the amount of the world are greater than one or two COINS.

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,工艺精湛,雕工完美,浮雕感强烈的品种,镜面平整光滑,纹饰的相惯线显得非常清晰,特别是广东七钱系列银币铸造精美,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),其暗记防伪更是少有后无来者,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。

The currency is in China all Long Yang design silver (including foreign offering all silver), exquisite workmanship, carver perfect, FuDiaoGan strong varieties, mirror surface level off is smooth, grain phase lines is very clear, especially the guangdong seven series of COINS casting fine money, word mouth, tooth deep lines and edges, entirely foreign casting style of specimen. As the ready circulation of the currency (although there is no circulation), its secret security is rare after no one, unrivaled, the surface of the money wrapped in thick, even to the silver dollar is not the study of the layman is fondly put down, very ornamental.

此币是1898年光绪权利到达巅峰之时而铸造,只是因为宫廷政变,光绪帝被慈禧投入监狱后此币才未能流通。这种观点也符合历史。

The coin was minted at the height of guangxu's power in 1898, but only failed to circulate after the emperor was imprisoned by cixi in a palace coup. This view is also in keeping with history.

近几年广东省造光绪元宝双龙“寿”字币一度成为收藏界追捧的宠儿,媒体上炒得沸沸扬扬,动辄上百万的天价。据了解,香饽饽的广东省造光绪元宝双龙“寿”字 币收藏价值极高,但是广东省造光绪元宝双龙“寿”字币存世量极为稀少,一般古玩市场上的多为伪造品。因为造假市场拥有无法言喻的暴利,导致如今伪造情况越演越烈。
