“光緒元寶”是中國早期的機制幣，是中國近代機制幣中的十大名品之一，俗稱“龍洋”，因貨幣背面鑄有龍紋而得名。它具有重要的現(xiàn)實意義和歷史意義，再加上清末、民國戰(zhàn)亂不斷等因素，一些比較珍貴的光緒元寶銀元品種已經(jīng)稀少，具有很高的收藏價值。受到許多收藏家的歡迎，蜂擁而至。北京銀元的發(fā)展歷程反映了中國晚清貨幣政策的進與退，每一次的斷檔也記錄了一次歷史的動蕩。了解貨幣史和造幣過程，不僅可以了解銀元的歷史價值，同時也可以提高對不同時期銀元的種類、顏色、龍紋特征、齒邊特征等方面的認識。

In addition to the constant wars in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, some precious varieties of Guangxu Yuanbao silver have been rare and have high collection value.

北洋是現(xiàn)在天津地區(qū)的舊稱，在清朝時被稱為直隸省。北洋機器局(又稱軍火機器總局、天津機器制造局)是中國早期的現(xiàn)代化兵工廠，由北洋三口通商大臣崇厚等人于1867年創(chuàng)辦。1870年由李鴻章接辦。光緒十三年(1887年)，李鴻章在天津創(chuàng)建附屬于北洋機器局的機器鑄錢局（寶津局），鑄造機制銅錢，鑄幣設備部分來自北洋機器局，部分從英國進口。而“龍洋”是銀元中的開山鼻祖，是中國最早的銀元，另外龍在中國傳統(tǒng)文化中是權勢、高貴、尊榮的象征。在收藏品中，龍是最出名的，關于龍的藏品最為豐富，升值空間最大。
