明治元年，日本在香港購得全套鑄幣機器，在大阪成立了國家造幣廠。明治三年，造幣廠落成并鑄造銀元。當時，銀元的大小幣值，實行銀本位制。
In the first year of Meiji, Japan purchased a complete set of coinage machines in Hong Kong and established a national mint in Osaka. In the third year of Meiji, the Mint was completed and silver coins were minted. At that time, the silver standard system was adopted for the value of silver dollar.
據了解，當初鑄造銀元的目的是驅逐當時在日本大肆橫行的雙柱本洋、鷹洋，以便統一貨幣。但未想到的是，由于頭版的銀元鑄量很少，加上人們并不知悉而一時難以接受，結果初次發行就以失敗告終。到了明治八年，日本又鑄造了貿易銀元，這種銀元與舊版相比成色不變，但重量增加，被民間收藏或熔鑄，因此再次遭遇失敗。在這種情況下，只能停止貿易銀元的鑄造。
It is understood that the purpose of casting silver dollar was to expel the two pillar Japanese ocean and the eagle ocean, which were rampant in Japan at that time, in order to unify the currency. But unexpectedly, due to the small amount of silver on the front page, and the fact that people didn't know about it and was difficult to accept it for a while, the initial issue ended in failure. In the eighth year of Meiji, Japan made another silver coin for trade. Compared with the old version, the silver coin remained unchanged in quality, but its weight increased. It was collected or melted by the people, so it failed again. In this case, only the casting of the trading silver dollar could be stopped.
此枚大日本明治二十六年錢幣，上方鑄有代表日本皇室的十六瓣八重表菊紋徽章，左右兩邊伴以櫻菊花枝，花蕊花蕾清晰可辨，枝腳交叉成蝴蝶結狀，具有濃郁的東贏特色；背面為圈珠環繞的飛龍戲珠圖案，龍外圈珠，珠外有“大日本，明治二十六年字樣。這種圓龍洋在當時鑄造發行量就很小，經過100多年歲月的洗禮，存世珍罕，幣種稀少，具有極好的收藏價值。鑄工精良、流通痕跡明顯。俗話說物以稀為貴，受到近年國內舊版銀元收藏熱的影響，它們的價格也在不斷上漲，增值勢頭強勁。具有非常高的收藏價值！
On the top of the coin of the 26th year of Meiji, Japan, there are 16 petals and 8-fold chrysanthemum emblems representing the Japanese royal family. On the left and right sides, the flower buds are clearly distinguished, and the branches and feet are crossed into a bow like shape, which has a strong Dongying feature. On the back is a flying dragon playing with beads, and on the outside of the bead is the word "great Japan, Meiji 26th year". At that time, the circulation of this kind of yuanlongyang was very small. After more than 100 years of baptism, it was rare in the world, and the currency was rare, so it had excellent collection value. The casting work is excellent and the circulation trace is obvious. As the saying goes, rarity is the most important thing. Influenced by the collection craze of old edition silver dollar in China in recent years, their prices are also rising and their value-added momentum is strong. Has very high collection value!
