中國(guó)銅元始鑄于清光緒二十六年(1900年)。河南銅元始鑄于光緒三十年。是年，河南巡撫陳夔龍奏準(zhǔn)在開封設(shè)銅元局。光緒三十二年，開封銅元局改名為度支部造幣汴廠，至光緒三十三年，月造額達(dá)48萬(wàn)枚。后清政府限制鑄額，規(guī)定河南月造銅元30萬(wàn)枚。
Chinese copper coins were first cast in the twenty-sixth year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1900). Henan copper coin was first cast in Guangxu 30 years ago. That year, Chen Kuilong, the governor of Henan Province, set up a copper bureau in Kaifeng. In the thirty-second year of Guangxu, Kaifeng Copper Dollar Bureau was renamed as the Mint Factory of Du Branch, and in the thirty-third year of Guangxu, the monthly output reached 480,000 pieces. After the Qing Dynasty, the government limited the casting amount and stipulated that Henan should produce 300,000 copper coins every month.
至光緒三十四年二月，河南造幣廠共造十文銅元2.3億枚。民國(guó)初年，控制河南的軍閥督撫為支付巨額的軍政開支，銅元鑄造數(shù)額驟增。民國(guó)二十年(1931年)，河南銅元局改名機(jī)器制造局，至民國(guó)二十二年秋，因銅源斷絕，造幣機(jī)構(gòu)被撤銷。
By February of the thirty-fourth year of Guangxu, Henan Mint had made 230 million ten-character copper coins. In the early years of the Republic of China, in order to pay huge military and political expenses, the amount of copper coins minted increased sharply. In the 20th year of the Republic of China (1931), Henan Copper Dollar Bureau was renamed Machine Manufacturing Bureau, and in the autumn of the 22nd year of the Republic of China, due to the cut-off of copper resources, the mint was cancelled.
此兩枚紅銅幣是河南省造光緒元寶當(dāng)制錢十文銅幣，帶陰陽(yáng)太極圖，河南銅元圖案設(shè)計(jì)，具有濃厚的傳統(tǒng)文化意義與突出的政治色彩。
These two red copper coins are ten-character copper coins made in Guangxu Yuanbao, Henan Province, with Yin-Yang Taiji diagram and Henan copper coin pattern design, which have strong traditional cultural significance and prominent political color.
藏品正面圈內(nèi)鑄有銘文“光緒元寶”，珠圈外上環(huán)鑄楷體“河南省造”四字，底部鑄貨幣價(jià)值：“當(dāng)制錢十文”，中心為太極圖。元寶背面內(nèi)圈鑄有神龍騰飛圖騰，外圈鑄有英文，品相精致，其審美風(fēng)格獨(dú)特。錢幣雖小，也可管窺當(dāng)時(shí)社會(huì)文化一斑。
The inscription "Guangxu Yuanbao" is cast in the front circle of the collection, and the words "Made in Henan Province" are cast on the ring outside the bead circle. The monetary value is cast at the bottom: "When making money, ten characters", and the center is Taiji diagram. On the back of Yuanbao, the inner ring is cast with dragon soaring totem, and the outer ring is cast with English, which is exquisite in appearance and unique in aesthetic style. Although coins are small, we can also get a glimpse of the social culture at that time.
其中，有太極圖案的銅元“光緒元寶”鑄于光緒三十年至宣統(tǒng)元年(1904～1909年)。這種銅元正面有“河南省造”、“光緒元寶”、“當(dāng)制錢十文”等銘文，中有太極圖。背有“HO-NAN”(河南)、“TEN CASH”(十文)等文，中有龍圖。龍圖分水龍、旱龍、八星水龍、大清龍等。清代，以龍圖為銅元的主要圖案的情形十分普遍，但以太極圖為銅元的圖案，則顯得少見而具有鮮明的地方特色。
Among them, the copper coin "Guangxu Yuanbao" with Taiji pattern was cast from the 30th year of Guangxu to the first year of Xuantong (1904 ~ 1909). On the front of this copper coin, there are inscriptions such as "Made in Henan Province", "Guangxu Yuanbao" and "Ten Articles when Making Money", among which there are Taiji diagrams. There are "HO-NAN" (Henan), "TEN CASH" (ten texts) on the back, and there are dragon figures in it. Dragon maps are divided into water dragons, dry dragons, eight-star water dragons, and Qing dragons. In the Qing Dynasty, it was very common to use Dragon Map as the main pattern of copper coins, but it was rare to use Taiji Map as the pattern of copper coins with distinctive local characteristics.
