廣東省造光緒元寶“庫平七錢二”,此幣正面以珠圈為界,可分為內外兩個部分:珠圈以外,上端為“廣東省造”四字,下方為“庫平七錢二”五字,左右兩側各鑄一蝙蝠圖案;珠圈以內,鑄有滿、漢文“光緒元寶”四字。背面也以珠圈為界:珠圈外面,鑄有雙龍圖案;珠圈里面,鑄有一圓形“壽”字。這種銀幣有一個很顯著的特色,那就是在幣面兩側各有一蝙蝠圖案。當時把它的圖像鑄在銀幣之上,寓有吉祥的含義。因為,蝙蝠的“蝠”字與幸福的“福”字讀音相同,而把蝙蝠圖案鑄在幣面上,系取“蝠”、“福”兩字諧音。并且,如將它與背面的“壽”字相對應,便構成“福壽雙全”之意。
Guangxu gold ingot made in guangdong province "kuping qiqian 2", the front of the coin is bounded by the bead circle, which can be divided into two parts: outside the bead circle, the top part is "made in guangdong province", and the bottom part is "kuping qiqian 2". Within the bead ring, there are manchu, Chinese "guangxu ingot" four characters. The back is also bounded by a bead ring: outside the bead ring, cast with a dragon pattern; Inside the bead ring, there is a round "longevity". One notable feature of the coin is a bat on either side of the coin. At that time, its image was cast on silver COINS with auspicious meanings. Because, the bat "bat" word and happiness "fu" word pronunciation is the same, and the bat pattern cast on the coin surface, is taken "bat", "fu" word homophonic. And, if it and the back of the "longevity" corresponding to the word, it constitutes the meaning of "blessing and longevity".
關于“廣東雙龍壽字幣一兩、七錢二分、七錢二”銀幣的鑄造,史料中沒有確切記載,坊間有兩種觀點,一種觀點認為:這種銀幣是光緒三十年1904年鑄造,為紀念慈禧太后70大壽而鑄。第二種觀點認為是:光緒二十年1894年戶部推行“一兩本位”時,廣東造幣廠為慶賀慈禧60大壽所鑄之幣,而七錢二分是第一批送京的樣幣,因為有個分字不吉利改為七錢二。
There is no exact record in historical records of the coin minting. There are two opinions. One is that the coin was minted in 1904 in the 30th year of guangxu dynasty to commemorate the 70th birthday of empress dowager cixi. The second point of view is that: in the 20th year of guangxu dynasty, 1894, when the household department implemented the "one or two standard", the guangdong mint cast COINS to celebrate the 60th birthday of cixi, and seven COINS two is the first batch of samples sent to Beijing, because there is an unlucky word to change to seven COINS two.
此七錢二品相較好,字體清晰,形制規整,質地優良,字體筆法流暢,紋飾刻制工細,其色澤自然,不論是文字還是圖案,都顯得自然細膩,深淺合適。而廣東省當時鑄造此幣的目的是奉獻清廷以祝慈禧太后萬壽,所以鑄額不大,大多奉獻給清廷或贈于當時的達官顯貴,見于民間流通的很少,故更顯珍貴。是家喻戶曉的罕見銀幣珍品,收藏價值和升值空間都值得期待。
This 7 money 2 compare good, the font is clear, the form is neat, the quality of a material is fine, the font brushwork is fluent, the grain is engraved the craft is fine, its colour and lustre is natural, no matter be the text or the design, all appear natural exquisite, the depth is suitable. However, guangdong province minted this coin for the purpose of dedicating the qing court to wish the empress dowager cixi wanshou, so the casting amount was not large, most of which were dedicated to the qing court or presented to the dignitaries at that time, and it was even more precious because it was rarely seen in the folk circulation. It is the rare silver coin treasure of household name, collect value and appreciation space are worth to look forward to.
