【藏品簡介】：對清代錢幣歷史稍有了解的人都知道，在清朝尤其是光緒年間，共有十九個鑄造局，這些鑄造省局，除了中央之外，都是地方鑄造，因而在錢幣鑄造方面都存在很大的不同。與之前不同的是，光緒元寶是在1898年引進國外先進鑄幣技術和設備之后鑄造的，最開始是在廣東省，后來慢慢推廣到其他省局，并成為模板。
[collection introduction]: people who have a little knowledge of the history of Qing Dynasty coins know that there were 19 casting bureaus in the Qing Dynasty, especially in Guangxu period. These provincial bureaus, except the Central Committee, were local ones, so there were great differences in coin casting. Unlike before, Guangxu Yuanbao was made after introducing advanced foreign coin technology and equipment in 1898. It was first in Guangdong Province, and later gradually spread to other provincial bureaus and became a template.
由于是第一批引進國外鑄幣技術印制的錢幣，因而光緒元寶在錢幣史上有很大的歷史意義。再加上全國十九個省局同時鑄造，規模之大為歷代罕見。足見當時的統治者光緒皇帝想要重振大清的決心。然而可惜的是，光緒皇帝權力太少，無法與慈禧太后抗衡，因而只能將其精力放在光緒元寶的鑄造上，所以，光緒元寶也比以往所有的錢幣更具精致、更具先進，也更受歡迎。
Because it is the first group of coins to be printed by foreign coinage technology, Guangxu Yuanbao has great historical significance in the history of coins. Combined with 19 provinces and provinces, the scale of the casting is rare in previous dynasties. It was a reflection of the resolution of the Emperor Guangxu, the ruler of the time, to revive the Qing Dynasty. Unfortunately, Emperor Guangxu had too little power to compete with empress Cixi, so he could only focus his energy on the casting of Guangxu Yuan Bao. Therefore, Guangxu Yuan Bao was more refined, advanced and more popular than all previous coins.
四川光緒元寶當十的錢幣正面珠圈內是漢文書寫的光緒元寶，中間是花卉紋飾，而不是滿文光緒元寶，這與其他省鑄造的光緒元寶有一定的差別。另外，四川光緒元寶當十后面的龍并不是騰空而起的蟠龍，而是一條威風凜凜的飛龍，身姿遒勁、龍爪張揚，看起來十分威武，展現出皇家的威嚴氣勢。
On the front of the coin, there is Guangxu Yuanbao written in Chinese in the bead circle, and in the middle, there are flower patterns, not the Guangxu Yuanbao in Manchu, which is different from the Guangxu Yuanbao in other provinces. In addition, the Dragon behind Yuanbao Dangshi in Guangxu, Sichuan, is not a flying dragon in the air, but a majestic flying dragon. It looks very majestic with strong posture and outspoken claws, showing the majesty of the royal family.
