唐肅宗乾元元年七月，御史中丞奏請鑄“乾元重寶”，以乾元重寶一枚當開元通寶十枚，錢文隸書，順讀，書法精妙，背月紋，因為當時發行時間段，鑄量少，故歷經滄桑留下來的少之又少，彌足珍貴。
Tang Su ZongQian yuanyuan July, suggestion and cheng play please cast "treasure" of qian, yuan heavy treasure with a clean one, when kaiyuan TongBao ten, qian zhongshu, official script, suitable reading, calligraphy, back on the lines, because the issuing period, casting quantity is little, therefore, through the vicissitudes of life to stay little, very precious.
乾元重寶鑄造于盛世之末，品種繁多,大小不一,比值多變,反映出戰亂后的經濟蕭條狀況,這是中國貨幣史上首次用“重寶”來命名的錢幣。 唐代金銀幣只見于開元通寶小平錢,所鑄年號大錢則未有聞載乾元二年(公元759年),鑄銀質乾元重寶重輪大錢,屬于賞賜錢而非通貨,主要是用于賞賜平定“安史之亂”的有功將士。
Qianyuan was recast at the end of the prosperous world, with various varieties, sizes and ratios, reflecting the economic depression after the war. This is the first time in the history of Chinese currency that it has been named "zhongbao". In the tang dynasty, gold and silver COINS were only used in the reign of kaiyuan tongbao xiaoping qian, while the year number qianyuan was not used in the second year of qianyuan (759 AD). The silver COINS were used in the reign of qianyuan heavy treasure and heavy wheel, which belonged to the reward of money rather than currency, and were mainly used to reward the meritorious soldiers who fought against the "an and shi rebellion".
乾元重寶是中國錢幣中的精品，有著歷史熏陶，是價值很高的研究價值，具有深遠的歷史紀念意義；同時，還是考古和研究中國歷史文化難得的實物。由于歷經百年風雨，此種乾元重寶存世量極為稀少，尤其是品相好的更為稀缺，因此很受收藏愛好者青睞。
Qianyuan heavy treasure is the best of Chinese COINS, with historical influence, is of high research value, with profound historical significance; At the same time, it is also a rare object for archaeology and the study of Chinese history and culture. As a result of a hundred years of wind and rain, this kind of dry dollar treasure storage is very rare, especially good quality is more scarce, so it is favored by collectors.
