1867年上海工部局壹兩銀幣，早期中國沒有自己的 ，因此外來通貨充斥，輸出銀元成了列強的重大收入。十九世紀中期起墨西哥銀元雖逐漸取代本洋，但尚未完全站穩腳步，覬覦此市場大餅的英國自然也想趁勢分杯羹。而香港在南京條約后割讓給英國，開埠以來并沒有專用貨幣，一直沿用中國內陸流通的各式貨幣。
In 1867, Shanghai Municipal Bureau of work issued one or two silver coins. In the early days, China did not have its own. As a result, foreign currency flooded in, and the export of silver dollars became a major income for the powers. Since the middle of the 19th century, the silver dollar of Mexico has gradually replaced the foreign currency, but it has not yet fully stood firm. Britain, which covets the market, naturally wants to take advantage of the situation. After the Treaty of Nanjing, Hong Kong was ceded to Britain. Since its opening, Hong Kong has no special currency. It has been using all kinds of currencies circulating in the mainland of China.
當新任港督麥當奴了解到這座造幣廠的規模遠超出其自身需求時，就想要把產品賣到中國，并企圖壟斷市場以謀取最大利益。1867年香港造幣廠刻模試制了一套樣幣，為要更易被中國政府接受，正面采用象征中國帝王的龍形圖案。同時以上海是重要新興港埠，誤以為采用上海平法有助銷量。
When the new governor learned that the scale of the mint far exceeded its own needs, he wanted to sell his products to China and try to monopolize the market for the best interests. In 1867, the Hong Kong Mint produced a set of prototype coins, in order to be more easily accepted by the Chinese government, the dragon shaped design symbolizing the Chinese emperor was adopted on the obverse. At the same time, Shanghai is an important emerging port, mistaking Shanghai Pingfa for sales.
此枚珍稀的銀元“上海一兩”，正面主圖是龍紋、四周環書“上海一兩”漢字，背面主要為英國皇冠和國徽、四周環繞英文“上海一兩”、鑄地“香港”、銀幣成色與鑄造年份。
On the front, the main picture of this rare silver coin is "Shanghai Yijiu". The main picture on the front is the dragon pattern and the Chinese characters "Shanghai one or two". The back is mainly the British crown and national emblem. It is surrounded by English "Shanghai one or two", the casting place is "Hong Kong", and the color and year of the silver coin.
