光緒二十九年（公元1903年）七月，擬訂了《整頓圜法章程》十條，其中提出銀幣專由造幣總廠制造，保留南洋（江南）、北洋、廣東、湖北四局為分廠。在制造銀元的同時，許多人提出了制造金幣的主張，進入２０世紀，興起了關于建立本位制度的討論，有人主張中國實行金本位制，在黃金儲備不足的情況下，可以先實行金匯兌本位制（亦稱“虛金本位制”）。
In July of the 29th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu (1903 A.D.), ten articles of the articles of Association for rectifying the circulation law were drawn up, in which silver coins were specially made by the general mint, and the four bureaus of Nanyang (Jiangnan), Beiyang, Guangdong and Hubei were retained as branch factories. At the same time, many people put forward the idea of making gold coins. In the 20th century, there was a discussion on the establishment of the standard system. Some people advocated that China should implement the gold standard system. In the case of insufficient gold reserves, the gold exchange standard system (also known as "virtual gold standard system") could be implemented first.
這種幣制以黃金定價格標準，但國內實際流通的是銀元，銀元按黃金價值流通，是黃金的價值符號。在金本位制尚無實行條件時，當時普遍主張先實行銀本位制，在此前提下，又產生了貨幣單位的“兩元之爭”。有人主張銀元重一兩，有人主張重七錢二分，即以元為單位。光緒元寶是大清光緒年流通大面值貨幣之首，是我國首批引進海外技術的印發流通貨幣，對于現今也蘊藏了一定歷史意義。北洋造34年光緒元寶庫平七錢二分因發行量少，市場稀缺，稀有珍貴。
In this currency system, the price standard is determined by gold, but the actual circulation in China is silver dollar, which is the value symbol of gold. When there was no condition for the implementation of the gold standard system, it was generally advocated that the silver standard system should be implemented first. Under this premise, the "two yuan dispute" of monetary unit came into being. Some people hold that the silver dollar should be heavier than one or two yuan, while some people advocate that the silver coin should be divided into two parts, that is, taking yuan as the unit. 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. Because of the small circulation, the market is scarce and precious.
