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(duì)于現(xiàn)今也蘊(yùn)藏了一定歷史意義。“光緒元寶”當(dāng)時(shí)共十九個(gè)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。
Guangxu Yuanbao is the first large denomination currency in circulation in Guangxu year of Qing Dynasty. It is one of the first batch of printing and distributing currency that introduces overseas technology. It also contains certain historical significance for today. At that time, the "Guangxu Yuanbao" was cast by 19 provinces. In addition to the central Hubu, the name of the province was engraved on the upper edge of the bronze coins.
北洋是現(xiàn)在天津地區(qū)的舊稱，在清朝時(shí)被稱為直隸省。1899年，清政府想收回北洋造幣廠的鑄幣權(quán)，后經(jīng)榮祿等大臣保奏，方使北洋鑄幣廠保留了下來。幾經(jīng)周折，北洋鑄幣廠所鑄造的光緒元寶為數(shù)不多，流通于世的相對(duì)其他元寶的數(shù)量也較少，隨著時(shí)光的流逝，北洋造的光緒元寶也大量的遺失。此北洋造光緒元寶包漿老到，做工精致，品相上乘，文字俊秀，筆劃紋飾滾圓深竣，楷書文字書法極為端莊大氣，間架結(jié)構(gòu)平衡舒展。
Beiyang is now the old name of Tianjin area. It was called Zhili Province in Qing Dynasty. In 1899, the Qing government wanted to take back the minting right of Beiyang mint, and then it was preserved by Ronglu and other ministers. After several twists and turns, the number of Guangxu Yuanbao produced by Beiyang Mint is few, and the number of Guangxu Yuanbao circulating in the world is relatively small. With the passage of time, a large number of Guangxu Yuanbao made by Beiyang Mint has also been lost. This Beiyang made Guangxu Yuanbao is very old, exquisite in workmanship, and of high quality. The characters are beautiful, the strokes are round and deep, and the regular script calligraphy is extremely dignified and grand, and the frame structure is balanced and extended.
奉天是清朝時(shí)期遼寧的稱呼，所以奉天省其實(shí)就是遼寧省，奉天府就是現(xiàn)在的沈陽市。沈陽造幣廠是清朝非常重要的一個(gè)造幣廠，它在當(dāng)時(shí)是機(jī)制幣制造較早的一個(gè)省份。這是奉天省鑄造最早的一種銅元，后來沈陽造幣廠被義和團(tuán)戰(zhàn)亂毀掉了，直到1903年的時(shí)候，也就是光緒29年，才開始重新修建造幣廠，并于同年鑄造光緒元寶當(dāng)制錢十文，也就是我們現(xiàn)在所說的奉天省造光緒元寶當(dāng)制錢十文。奉天省造光緒元寶當(dāng)制錢十文是光緒元寶中比較少見的一種銅元，尤其是鑄造時(shí)間非常短，僅為1903年到1906年期間鑄造，雖然有四個(gè)年頭，但是數(shù)量很少，存世量更少。
福建官局造光緒元寶銅幣造于光緒二十六年至三十一年（1900～1905年），“光緒年間閩省所需銀元均由粵省供應(yīng)，維因路途遙遠(yuǎn)，往返費(fèi)時(shí)，運(yùn)匯多費(fèi)，勞民傷財(cái)。閩督準(zhǔn)商人孫利用集股購機(jī)，就在閩地試鑄。未幾奉戶部令，不準(zhǔn)商人附搭股本或自行鑄造。后擬委派閩籍浙江候補(bǔ)知縣孫葆辦理，由善后局、鹽道籌款續(xù)鑄。后因局庫支絀，無款撥給而作罷”，從歷史資料記載可見此款銅幣鑄額不多，留存至今的更是甚少，完美品相的寥若星辰。
The copper coins of Guangxu Yuanbao made by Fujian government bureau were made in the 26th to 31st year of Guangxu period (1900-1905). "During the reign of Guangxu, all the silver coins needed by Fujian Province were supplied by Guangdong Province. Because of the long journey, it took time to travel and remit, and it cost people a lot of money. Sun, the governor of Fujian Province, tried to cast it in Fujian Province. In recent years, according to the order of the Ministry of finance, businessmen were not allowed to attach capital stock or cast their own. After that, he planned to appoint Sun Bao, an alternate county magistrate of Zhejiang Province of Fujian Province, to handle the matter, and raise funds from the aftercare Bureau and Yandao. It was abandoned because of the lack of funds in the Bureau and the Treasury. "According to the historical records, the amount of this copper coin was not much, and the number of perfect coins was as few as stars.
