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(jìn)英國鑄幣機(jī)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。
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(jìn)海外技術(shù)的印發(fā)流通貨幣,對于現(xiàn)今也蘊(yùn)藏了一定歷史意義。廣東省造光緒元寶在中國近代機(jī)器鑄幣史上屬一個大系列,其鑄期歷時(shí)甚長(從光緒22年—光緒34年[1896至1908年]),歷經(jīng)十余載,幣模幾經(jīng)更替,即使同一鑄造年份亦往往由于修模、幣材、工藝技術(shù)、工廠管理等諸多因素,造成版別異常繁雜。
Guangxu Yuanbao was one of the currencies in circulation during the Guangxu reign of the Qing Dynasty.Zhang Zhidong, governor of Hubei Province, Guangdong Province and Guangdong Province, took the lead in introducing the British coinage machine to cast silver and copper coins, and later the provinces followed suit.A total of 19 provincial bureaus cast, in addition to the central ministry of household, local provinces cast copper, are engraved on the front edge of the province name.
Guangxu Yuanbao is the first large denomination currency in circulation in the Qing Dynasty. It is the first batch of printing and circulating currency to introduce overseas technology in China. It also contains a certain historical significance for today.Guangdong province made guangxu silver piece in the history of modern Chinese machine COINS belong to a big series, the casting period lasted very long (in the guangxu 34 years guangxu 22 years - [1896] 1908), after more than ten years, coin change several times, even if the same year also often since repairing mold, material, technology, factory management, and many other factors, causing abnormal bottle multifarious.
產(chǎn)生背景:清代銀幣、紙鈔、銅幣并行,至嘉慶年間發(fā)行新式銀元,而光緒年間鑄行金、銀幣更多。洋務(wù)運(yùn)動也影響到鑄幣業(yè),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(jī)器,并在廣東錢局首鑄機(jī)制銀元和銅元。其后,各省紛紛仿效,購制國外機(jī)械鑄造銀、銅元。包括廣東錢局在內(nèi),許多造幣機(jī)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(yè)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(biāo)示了西方文化的介入。
Background: Silver coins, banknotes and copper coins were parallel in the Qing Dynasty. New silver dollars were issued in the Jiaqing Period, while more gold and silver coins were cast in the Guangxu Period.The Westernization Movement also affected the coinage industry. Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Guangdong and Guangdong, had commissioned British ministers to order a full set of coinage machines in Britain in the thirteenth year of Guangxu Emperor (1887), and cast silver and copper coins in the Guangdong Money Bureau for the first time.Subsequently, the provinces have followed suit, purchase system foreign machinery casting silver, copper yuan.Many coins, including the Guangdong Bureau of Money, were ordered from the famous Birmingham Mint Company in London, England.The intervention of big British industry stained the silver coin with Western tints.The front side of the coin rarely shows the integration of Manchu and Chinese culture, while the back of the coin clearly indicates the intervention of Western culture.
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(jìn)海外技術(shù)的印發(fā)流通貨幣,對于現(xiàn)今也蘊(yùn)藏了一定歷史意義。廣東省造光緒元寶在中國近代機(jī)器鑄幣史上屬一個大系列,其鑄期歷時(shí)甚長(從光緒22年—光緒34年[1896至1908年]),歷經(jīng)十余載,幣模幾經(jīng)更替,即使同一鑄造年份亦往往由于修模、幣材、工藝技術(shù)、工廠管理等諸多因素,造成版別異常繁雜。清代末期所發(fā)行的銀元大多數(shù)是以龍的形象出現(xiàn)的。老壽星銀元在眾多的發(fā)行流通貨幣中,應(yīng)該算是獨(dú)樹一幟,也吸引了很多收藏愛好者的關(guān)注。西方商人開始來到我國東南沿海地區(qū)進(jìn)行貿(mào)易活動,外國銀元隨之流入中國。自清代初年后,隨著貿(mào)易的發(fā)展,外國銀元流入中國的數(shù)量相應(yīng)增多,行用區(qū)域也不斷擴(kuò)展。在外國銀元的影響下,我國東南沿海各省率先出現(xiàn)仿照外國銀元而鑄的銀幣,正面是個長須飄飄的老者,拄著拐杖,拐杖稍端掛著壽桃,一只長角鹿調(diào)皮地跟在身后,探頭探腦地偷窺著老者。老者的身體左側(cè),是五只大小不一的在凌空翱翔的小燕子,變形的回紋圈內(nèi)是個書寫?yīng)毺氐?ldquo;壽”字。不論正面還是背面,均是長形邊齒,與老者的長須、長睫毛形成了統(tǒng)一的格局。且右下端的仙鶴翅膀后面有個棉絮狀的圓圈,似一團(tuán)風(fēng)在旋轉(zhuǎn),好像仙鶴飛得過快,都帶起了卷風(fēng)。這只仙鶴張開的嘴下面,還有一枝若隱若現(xiàn)的小草,仿佛仙鶴一張嘴,小草從口中掉下。從三只仙鶴大張的翅膀和爪子大幅度跨越的角度,體現(xiàn)出仙鶴的亢奮的狀態(tài)和飛馳的速度,仿佛老壽星在聲聲呼喚著仙鶴,使它們帶風(fēng)劈云,急急地往老壽星跟前趕。整個銀餅的畫面洋溢著生日的氣氛,有種動態(tài)的美。

On the front side was an old man with fluttering beards, leaning on a cane with a peach hanging slightly from the end of the cane. A long antler followed mischievously behind him, peeking at the old man.On the left side of the old man's body, there are five small swallows of different sizes flying in the sky. In the circle of deformation, there is a unique "longevity" word.No matter front or reverse side, all are long form edge tooth, with the old person long beards, long eyelash formed unified pattern.And at the lower right end of the crane wings behind a cotton-like circle, like a group of wind in the rotation, as if the crane flew too fast, with the wind.This crane open mouth below, there is a looming grass, as if a crane mouth, grass from the mouth down.From the Angle of the big wings and claws of the three cranes, the excited state and speed of the cranes are reflected, as if the old man is calling for the crane in the sound, so that they take the wind to split the clouds, and hurry to the old man.The whole picture of the silver cake is brimming with the atmosphere of birthday and has a kind of dynamic beauty.
