古錢幣一直是收藏市場中的熱門，雖然在歷史的推移下，大部分的古錢幣早已經失去了流通價值，但是它們走進了收藏市場，增添了更多的藝術、欣賞和收藏價值。在眾多的古錢幣品種中，光緒元寶是目前不少投資者中意的對象。
光緒元寶作為清代末期主要的流通貨幣發行了很多個版本，有一些發行時間短、發行量少的省份類銀元尤為珍貴，其中“浙江省造”光緒元寶就是一種。浙江省當時作為清政府主要稅收來源的省份之一，又是沿海開埠的主要地區對外貿易經濟發達需要大量的貿易銀元，但是浙江省自身沒有先進的機制幣鑄造能力，無奈之下只得委托別處代為鑄造，又因為清政府收回各地鑄幣權歸中央統一鑄造，所以“浙江省造”光緒元寶存世量相當稀少，備受錢幣收藏家關注。浙江地處沿海，通行洋銀甚早，清季雖已設廠造幣惟大量產制銀元是民國以后的事。由于籌建較遲，光緒二十五年浙局開鑄后即奉旨停工，機器拆遷他處；營運期間所出銀幣數額不多，由于當時錢荒嚴重，生產銅元更有利可圖，銀幣有充沛鷹洋可用而被冷落甚至擱置。
此枚浙江省造光緒元寶當十，直徑為2.7cm。錢幣正面珠圈內鑄有漢文“光緒元寶”字樣，中心為六瓣空心梅花，左右各鑄滿文，上鑄有“浙江省造”四字，下沿鑄幣值“當十二”二字。背面中央鑄龍圖及火龍珠，上下各鑄有英文。
古錢幣極具觀賞性與歷史價值，因此古錢幣如同其他古玩一樣被藏家們所青睞。中國最早的機制洋式銀元為光緒年間的“光緒元寶”，俗稱“龍洋”，因銀元背面鑄有龍紋而得名。珍稀古錢幣是貨幣歷史的實物，由于早已不在流通領域，留存下來的亦少之極少，更是歷史的見證。此枚浙江省造光緒元寶，保存程度較完美，甚是少見，其銅色極好。該光緒元寶十分精到，具有鮮明的特色，是古幣收藏愛好者夢寐以求的上上之選
Ancient coins have always been a hot spot in the collection market. Although most of the ancient coins have long lost circulation value with the passage of history, they have entered the collection market, adding more art, appreciation and collection value. Among the many varieties of ancient coins, Guangxu Yuanbao is currently a favorite of many investors.
As the main currency in circulation at the end of the Qing Dynasty, many versions of Guangxu yuanbao were issued. Some provincial silver dollars with a short issuance time and small circulation are particularly precious. Among them, the Guangxu yuanbao "made in Zhejiang Province" is one. At that time, Zhejiang Province was one of the main tax sources of the Qing government and the main coastal area where foreign trade and economic development required a large amount of trade silver dollars. However, Zhejiang Province itself did not have advanced mechanical currency casting capabilities, and had no choice but to entrust it elsewhere. Because the Qing government took back the rights of coinage from various places and returned it to the central government for unified casting, the "Zhejiang-made" Guangxu Ingot is very rare and has attracted the attention of coin collectors. Zhejiang is located on the coast, and foreign silver was used very early. Although factories had been set up to mint coins in the Qing Dynasty, large-scale production of silver dollars was a matter after the Republic of China. Due to the late preparations, the Zhejiang Bureau was ordered to suspend work after the start of casting in the 25th year of Guangxu, and the machine was demolished elsewhere. During the operation, the amount of silver coins was not large. Due to the serious shortage of money at that time, the production of copper yuan was more profitable and there were plenty of silver coins. Yingyang was available but was left out or even shelved.
This piece of Guangxu Yuanbao made in Zhejiang Province is ten, with a diameter of 2.7cm. The Chinese characters "Guangxu Yuanbao" are cast in the bead ring on the front of the coin, and the center is a six-petal hollow plum blossom. The left and right sides are cast in Manchu characters. On the back, the center cast dragon and fire dragon ball are cast in English.
Ancient coins have great ornamental and historical value, so ancient coins are favored by collectors like other antiques. The earliest machine-made Western silver dollar in China was the "Guangxu Yuanbao" during the Guangxu period, commonly known as "Longyang", named after the dragon pattern cast on the back of the silver dollar. Rare and ancient coins are real objects of currency history. Since they are no longer in circulation, very few remain, and they are historical witnesses. This Guangxu ingot made in Zhejiang Province is perfectly preserved and rare. Its copper color is excellent. The Guangxu Ingot is very sophisticated and has distinctive features. It is the best choice for ancient coin collectors.
