清代光緒元寶
光緒元寶是清朝光緒年間流通的貨幣之一。由湖北兩廣總督張之洞率先引進英國鑄幣機器鑄造銀元和銅元,之后各省紛紛仿效。共有十九個省局鑄造,除中央戶部,地方省所鑄銅元,皆在其正面上緣鐫寫省名。
Guangxu Yuanbao was one of the currency in circulation during the reign of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty. Zhang Zhidong, governor of Guangdong and Guangxi provinces in Hubei Province, was the first to introduce British coin making machines to cast silver and copper coins, and then all provinces followed suit. A total of 19 provinces and bureaus cast copper coins, except for the central Hubu and local provinces, inscribed with the names of the provinces on the front.
光緒元寶是大清光緒年流通大面值貨幣之首,是我國首批引進海外技術的印發流通貨幣,對于現今也蘊藏了一定歷史意義。廣東省造光緒元寶在中國近代機器鑄幣史上屬一個大系列,其鑄期歷時甚長(從光緒22年-光緒34年[1896至1908年]),歷經十余載,幣模幾經更替,即使同一鑄造年份亦往往由于修模、幣材、工藝技術、工廠管理等諸多因素,造成版別異常繁雜。
Guangxu Yuanbao is the first large denomination currency in circulation in Guangxu year of Qing Dynasty. It is one of the first batch of printing and distributing currency that introduces overseas technology. It also contains certain historical significance for today. Guangxu Yuanbao made in Guangdong province belongs to a large series in the history of modern machine coinage in China. Its coinage 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 mints were replaced several times. Even in the same year, the editions were very complicated due to many factors, such as mold modification, coin materials, technology and factory management.
清代銀幣、紙鈔、銅幣并行,至嘉慶年間發行新式銀元,而光緒年間鑄行金、銀幣更多。洋務運動也影響到鑄幣業,兩廣總督張之洞曾于光緒十三年(1887年)委托使英大臣在英國訂購全套造幣機器,并在廣東錢局首鑄機制銀元和銅元。其后,各省紛紛仿效,購制國外機械鑄造銀、銅元。包括廣東錢局在內,許多造幣機均訂購自著名的英國倫敦伯明翰造幣有限公司。英國大工業的介入,使銀幣也沾染上西方色彩。錢幣正面鮮然可見滿漢文化的融合,而錢背卻明確標示了西方文化的介入。
In the Qing Dynasty, silver coins, paper notes and copper coins went hand in hand, and new silver coins were issued in Jiaqing period, while more gold and silver coins were produced in Guangxu period. The westernization movement also affected the coinage industry. In 1887, the governor of Guangdong and Guangdong provinces, Zhang Zhidong, entrusted the British ministers to order a complete set of coin making machines in Britain, and first minted silver and copper coins in Guangdong money Bureau. Later, the provinces followed suit and
purchased foreign mechanical casting silver and copper coins. Many mints, including Guangdong money Bureau, are ordered from the famous London Birmingham Mint Co., Ltd. With the intervention of British industry, silver coins were also stained with western color. On the obverse side of the coin, the integration of Manchu and Han culture can be seen, while the back of coin clearly indicates the intervention of western culture.
