【藏品鑒賞】：古錢幣是一個國家歷史中組成的主要部分，就其特定的歷史時期在錢幣史上占有著主要的職位它不僅代表著近代中國的錢幣文化反映了我國近代歷史、經濟、金融的興衰和滄桑，具有很高的藝術鑒賞價值和文物價值。而且材質珍貴，藝術價值高，由珍貴金屬或白銀合金鑄造，制作細膩，圖案考究，文字秀氣，內容富厚，銀絢爛煌光耀，其貌可人，也具有一定的保值和升值功效，清咸豐年間（公元1850—1861年），通貨膨脹，各錢局繁忙于鑄大錢。當時正值太平天國革命運動的高潮時期，民怨沸騰，清政府財政拮據，國庫虧空。在錢幣鑄造上大做文章，將財政危機轉嫁到老百姓身上。相繼鑄造“咸豐通寶”、“咸豐重寶”、“咸豐元寶”等種類的錢幣。咸豐大錢由重寶當十至當五十，及至元寶當百、當五百、當千。因朝廷和地方鑄局亦多，故其錢的版式形制繁多，盡管如此，由于太平天國革命運動的發生，和鴉片戰爭的爆發。錢局鑄造制錢已很難正常進行，很多省的錢局實際上處于停鑄狀態，即使開鑄，也是偷工減料 。因而造成咸豐錢幣制錢精品少。
