中國歷史銀兩的貨幣功能始于漢代以前，隋唐以前稱之為“銀餅”、“銀笏”，宋金時期稱為“銀錠”，元代稱為“元寶”。這時“元寶”一詞含有“元朝之寶”的意思。明清兩代白銀作為主要貨幣流通，鑄錠盛行。我們今天所見元寶尤以明清居多。
The monetary function of silver in Chinese history began before the Han Dynasty, which was called "silver cake" and "silver cake" in the Sui and Tang dynasties ," silver ingot "in Song and Jin dynasties, and" Yuanbao "in Yuan Dynasty ". At this time, the word "Yuanbao" contains the meaning of "the treasure of the Yuan Dynasty. The Ming and Qing dynasties silver as the main currency circulation, ingot prevailing. We see Yuanbao today, especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
銀錠，中國古代貨幣，即熔鑄成錠的白銀。重量不等，因此以“兩”為主要重量單位，故又稱銀兩。始自漢代，其后各代皆有鑄造，但流通不廣。銀錠至明代盛行，但不是國家法定銀錠貨幣。直至清朝，開始作為主要貨幣流通。清代是中國銀錠鑄造和發展的鼎盛時期，由于地域不同，鑄造工藝流程不同，各地銀錠的器型各異、形式多樣、名稱繁多，深受銀錠集藏者喜愛。銀錠具有較高的保值功能，近幾年價格暴漲，清代最小的銀錠也價值不菲。銀錠，這種承載著悠久貨幣文化和歷史的古代錢幣，雖然已經退出了商業舞臺，但它現在的價值卻是不容忽視的。銀錠是經由銀匠之手鑄成，因此每一件銀錠都是獨一無二的藝術品，現今存世的古代銀錠，非常稀少，而銘文錠更是不多見。如今，古代銀錠作為一種珍貴的收藏品，被各路專家學者及收藏者們爭相看好。
Silver ingot, ancient Chinese currency, that is, molten silver. Weight varies, so "two" as the main unit of weight, so also known as silver. Since the Han Dynasty, all generations have been cast, but the circulation is not wide. Silver ingots prevailed until the Ming Dynasty, but not the national legal silver ingot currency. Until the Qing Dynasty, began to circulate as the main currency. The Qing Dynasty was the peak period of Chinese silver ingot casting and development. Because of the different regions and different casting process, the silver ingot has different types, various forms and various names. Silver ingots have a higher function of maintaining value, the price has soared in recent years, the smallest silver ingots in the Qing Dynasty are also valuable. Silver ingot, an ancient coin bearing a long history of monetary culture and history, has withdrawn from the commercial stage, but its present value can not be ignored. Silver ingots are made by the hand of silversmiths, so every silver ingot is a unique work of art. Today, as a precious collection, ancient silver ingots are favored by experts, scholars and collectors.
清代的銀錠器形種類最繁多。各地區都有自己的代表器形。大體上有元寶形、圓形、長方形、砝碼形、腰形、牌坊形等。又分為4種：一種是寶銀，呈馬蹄形，重50兩；第二種是中錠，多為錘形，重約10兩，又稱小元寶；第三種是小錁或錁子，形為饅頭狀，重一二兩，也叫小錠；第四種是不足一兩的散碎銀子，有滴珠、福珠等稱謂。
The silver ingots of the Qing Dynasty were the most varied. Each region has its own representative shape. Generally there are Yuanbao shape, round, rectangular, weight shape, waist shape, arch, and so on. It is divided into four types: one is silver, horseshoe-shaped, weighing 50 pairs; the second is medium ingot, mostly hammer-shaped, weighing about 10 pairs, also known as Xiao Yuanbao; the third is small silver, shaped like steamed bread, weighing one or two, also known as small ingot; the fourth is less than one or two scattered silver, with drops of beads, blessing beads and so on.
在收藏市場上，同規格的官鑄銀錠與私鑄銀錠的價格相差很大，官鑄銀錠的標價往往是私鑄銀錠的數倍甚至十多倍。一是因為流傳下來的官銀數量更少;二是因為官銀成色足，制作也更精美;三是因為官銀附帶的史料價值正統可靠，買進的人也放心。此外，品相好的明清銀錠升值速度也較快，史料價值越強的銀錠則收藏價值越高，尤其是稅銀及刻有金融史料性文字的銀錠更是比普通品種升值空間大許多。
In the collection market, the price of official silver ingot and private silver ingot is very different, and the price of official silver ingot is often several times or more than ten times that of private silver ingot. One is because the number of official silver handed down is less; the other is because the official silver is full of color and more exquisite; and the third is because the value of historical materials attached to the official silver is orthodox and reliable, and the buyers are also assured. In addition, the appreciation speed of silver ingots in Ming and Qing dynasties is also faster, and the collection value of silver ingots with stronger historical data value is higher, especially tax silver and silver ingots engraved with financial historical characters are much larger than that of ordinary varieties.
在去年中國嘉德郵品錢幣銅鏡拍賣會“金銀錠”專場上，第1530號拍品——— 一件品相很好的元代“興國路”五十兩銀錠經過眾多買家數十次的激烈角逐，最終以310.5萬元人民幣的天價落槌，并一舉刷新五十兩銀錠拍賣最高成交紀錄。作為一種高檔的古錢幣收藏品，中國古代銀錠，尤其是明清銀錠現已成為收藏投資領域中的一個不可或缺的佳品。
At last year's "gold and silver ingots" auction of Chinese Jiade philatelic coins and bronze mirrors, lot 1530——— a very good piece of Yuan Dynasty "Xingguo Road "52 silver ingots after dozens of fierce competition by many buyers. Finally, at a daily price of 3.105 million yuan, and set a record of 52 silver ingots auction. As a kind of high-grade ancient coin collection, ancient Chinese silver ingots, especially the Ming and Qing dynasties silver ingots, have become an indispensable good product in the field of collection and investment.
清朝銀錠因材質珍貴等原因，本身就具備了很高的保值升值功能，加之其悠久的歷史和較少的存世量，更是獲得了投資者的青睞。尤其是2007年春季以來，清朝銀錠升值速度加快，在收藏市場里，六七年前只賣兩三千元的浙江、四川或山西等地的清代私鑄十兩銀錠，如今漲到了一兩萬元；原先只賣二三萬元的清代私鑄五十兩銀錠，如今漲到了六七萬元以上；特殊的官鑄五十兩銀錠精品如今更是漲到了數十萬甚至上百萬元以上的高價。
Because of the precious material and other reasons, the Qing Dynasty silver ingot itself has a very high function of maintaining and appreciating value, coupled with its long history and less stock, it has won the favor of investors. Especially since the spring of 2007, the rate of appreciation of silver ingots in the Qing Dynasty has accelerated. In the collection market ,102 silver ingots in Zhejiang, Sichuan or Shanxi, which sold only two or three thousand yuan six or seven years ago, have now risen to one or two million yuan.
別看銀錠是一種古代貨幣，但是其存世量并不多。1933年，中國幣制最先廢用銀兩，加上大量白銀外流，因此銀錠在市場上總存世量較少。因此,此枚官局老銀錠十分值得收藏,重量330g，舉世難尋，收藏價值極高。明清銀錠在鑄造工藝、重量、形制上都更為規范，其收藏價值不容小覷。銀錠在中國歷史上曾是長期用于流通的貨幣,亦是最堅挺和最重要的儲存手段。
Silver ingot is an ancient currency, but it does not exist much. In 1933, the Chinese currency system was the first to scrap silver, plus a large amount of silver outflow, so the total stock of silver ingots in the market is relatively small. As a result, this official bureau old silver ingot is very worth collecting, the weight 330 g, is difficult to find in the world, the collection value is extremely high. The silver ingot of Ming and Qing dynasties is more standard in casting technology, weight and shape, and its collection value can not be underestimated. Silver ingots have long been used for circulation in Chinese history and are the strongest and most important means of storage.
