銀錠是中國獨有的貨幣形態之一，自唐代以貢、賦的形式登上歷史舞臺，在宋代完成了貨幣化的轉變，到明代改變了稅負的解納方式，最終在清代成為本位貨幣直至民國退出歷史舞臺。隨著朝代的更迭，歷史的進步，銀錠也在隨之發展變化。目前基本上都是從貨幣的角度去定位銀錠詮釋銀錠。事實上，貨幣屬性只占銀錠極少的一部分。銀錠最大的屬性是文物屬性，不僅是貴金屬貨幣，更是貴金屬文物。其文物價值來源于銘文所攜帶的文化信息，價值不遜于任何其他門類的文物，還有其他文物所沒有的貨幣屬性。
Silver ingot is one of the unique currency forms in China. Since Tang Dynasty, silver ingot appeared on the historical stage in the form of tribute and tax, it completed the monetization transformation in Song Dynasty, changed the way of tax payment in Ming Dynasty, and finally became the standard currency in Qing Dynasty until the Republic of China withdrew from the historical stage. With the change of dynasties and the progress of history, silver ingots are also developing and changing. At present, it is basically from the perspective of currency to locate the silver ingot and interpret the silver ingot. In fact, the property of money only accounts for a very small part of the silver ingot. The biggest attribute of silver ingot is cultural relic, which is not only precious metal currency, but also precious metal cultural relic. The value of its cultural relics comes from the cultural information carried by the inscriptions, which is no less valuable than any other cultural relics, as well as the monetary attributes that other cultural relics do not have.
銀錠自民國初年退出官方流通已有百余年歷史，近年來，這一中國特有的稱量貨幣，以其獨特的魅力受到越來越多藏家的喜愛，已成長為一個頗具規模的收藏門類，市場行情穩步上升，珍稀品價格于拍賣會屢創新高。與此同時，伴隨著國內學者及收藏者對白銀貨幣研究的不斷深入，各類銀錠的背景資料日益充實，銀錠研究正進入“前修未密，后出轉精”的時代，使藏家對銀錠的認知得到進一步提升。在追求知識性、珍罕性的同時，目前銀錠藏家對藏品品相的要求也越來越嚴苛，國內銀錠專業鑒定評級機構應運而生，不同等級的品相，已出現不容忽視的價差。今后，那些品貌俱佳的銀錠精品，定會讓無數癡心“鐵粉”不惜傾其所有，孜孜以求。
Silver ingot has been withdrawn from official circulation for more than 100 years since the early Republic of China. In recent years, this unique weighing currency in China has been loved by more and more collectors with its unique charm. It has grown into a large collection category. The market market has steadily increased, and the price of rare goods has been innovatively high in auction. At the same time, with the deepening of the research on silver coins by domestic scholars and collectors, the background information of various types of ingots is becoming more and more abundant. The research on silver ingots is entering the era of "unclassified before and after refined", which further improves the Tibetan cognition of silver ingots. While pursuing knowledge and rarity, the requirements of the collectors of silver ingots on the collection are becoming more and more stringent. The domestic professional evaluation and rating agencies of silver ingots emerge. The price difference of different grades has appeared. In the future, those fine silver ingots with good looks will surely make countless infatuated "iron powder" willing to spare all of them and strive for it.

Due to different regions and casting processes, silver ingots in different regions had different shapes, forms and names, which were loved by silver ingot collectors. Silver ingot has a higher function of preserving value, and its price has soared in recent years. From the perspective of cultural relics collection, the value of silver ingots is reflected in the inscriptions.

On the market, the price of 20 Liang silver ingots in the Ming Dynasty has reached 34 million yuan, and the smallest silver ingot in the Qing Dynasty has reached about one million yuan.
