銀錠是熔鑄成錠的白銀，隋唐以前稱銀錠為“銀餅”、“銀鋌”，稱扁平形銀幣為“鈑”、“笏”、“版”，棒形的稱“鋌”、“挺”，宋以后改稱“銀錠”。元代于銀錠之外總稱“元寶”，形式變為馬蹄形，故亦稱“馬蹄銀”，明清兩代均沿用“元寶”一詞。

清代實行銀錢平行本位制度，規定制錢一千文準銀一兩。銀兩是法定通貨，不僅民間交易收藏使用，官府收納地丁捐稅也使用，由此形成了銀兩制度。清朝的銀兩多以馬蹄形的元寶出現，故亦稱為寶銀。經過熔鑄，又可分為大錠、中錠、小錠，通稱銀塊或銀錠，此外還有碎銀。由于各地均可自行熔鑄寶銀，以致寶銀的種類和名稱雖然全國大體一致，但成色與重量并不一律，各地使用不同成色名目的銀兩，相互兌換也均有一定的折算比率。

Silver ingot is a kind of silver ingot. Before Sui and Tang Dynasties, silver ingot was called "silver cake" and "silver collar", flat silver coins were called "plate", "wat" and "plate", bar shaped silver coins were called "collar" and "ting". After Song Dynasty, silver ingot was renamed "silver ingot". In the Yuan Dynasty, it was called "Yuanbao" in addition to the silver ingot, and the form changed into horseshoe shape, so it was also called "horseshoe silver". The word "Yuanbao" was used in Ming and Qing Dynasties.

In the Qing Dynasty, the parallel standard system of silver and money was implemented, which stipulated that one or two thousand yuan and one or two silver coins should be made. Silver is the legal currency. It is not only used for private transaction collection, but also used for the government to collect the local people's taxes, thus forming the silver system. In the Qing Dynasty, most of the silver appeared in the shape of horseshoe, so it is also called Baoyin. After melting and casting, it can be divided into large ingot, medium ingot and small ingot, commonly known as silver ingot or silver ingot, in addition to broken silver. Since all regions can melt and cast Baoyin by themselves, although the types and names of Baoyin are generally the same across the country, their color and weight are not the same. Silver with different color and name is used everywhere, and there is a certain conversion ratio for mutual exchange.

本公司近期有幸征集到袁女士的這一組（4塊）花生銀錠，均屬于甘肅省清末至民國初年銀錠獨有的品種，銀錠整體保存完好，品相上佳，字跡清晰可見，且含銀量皆達到較高水準，每一塊銀錠上方均鑄有不同地名，下方也皆打有銀匠名稱。

The group (4 pieces) of peanut and silver ingots that Ms. yuan has been invited by our company recently belong to the unique variety of silver ingots from the late Qing Dynasty to the early Republic of China in Gansu Province. The silver ingots are generally well preserved, with good quality, clear handwriting and high silver content. Each silver ingot has a different place name on the top and a silversmith's name on the bottom.

清代花生稅銀銀錠（一組）

Silver and silver ingots of peanut tax in Qing Dynasty (group one)

正寧路生奎：重量79.2g 西寧府董義正：重量61.7g

河州路生奎：重量75.3g 階 州董義正：重量86.1g

Zhengning Lu Shengkui: weight 79.2g; Xining mansion Dong Yizheng: weight 61.7g

dongyizheng, Hezhou: weight 86.1g ; Luzhengkui, Hezhou: weight 75.3g;

如上圖，這種束腰形小錠因形似花生而被錢幣界俗稱為“花生錠”，它是甘肅省清末至民國初年銀錠獨有的品種，目前已知存世的不同地名的束腰小錠不過十多種,銘文為“涼州府”、“寧夏府”、“西寧府”、“正寧”、“階州”、“河州”、“隆德”、“文縣”、“微縣”等，并均在錠面上部橫打地名，下部豎打銀匠名，雖地名不同，但型制和大小都相差無幾，應是甘肅各地銀匠按官府統一規定制作的花生銀錠，除了正常的貿易交易外，部分銀錠主要用作繳納稅銀之用。

As shown in the figure above, this kind of small ingot with girdle shaped waist is commonly known as "peanut ingot" in the field of coins because it looks like peanut. It is a unique variety of silver ingot from the late Qing Dynasty to the early Republic of China in Gansu Province. At present, there are no more than ten kinds of small ingot with girdle shaped waist known to exist in different places. The inscriptions are "Liangzhou mansion", "Ningxia mansion", "Xining mansion", "Zhengning", "Jiezhou", "Hezhou", "Longde" and "Wenxian" "Micro county" and so on. The names of silversmiths are scratched horizontally on the top of ingot surface and vertically on the bottom. Although the names of silversmiths are different, their shapes and sizes are almost the same. They should be peanut silver ingots made by silversmiths in Gansu Province according to the unified regulations of the government. Apart from normal trade transactions, some silver ingots are mainly used for paying taxes.

如圖，“西寧府 董義正”花生銀錠，重61.7g，上書‘西寧府’三字，下印銀匠‘董義正’。西寧府，北宋崇寧三年（1104年），取“西平安寧”之意將鄯州改為西寧府，明初改為西寧衛，清雍正二年（1724年）又改為西寧府，屬甘肅省管轄，此銀錠亦為清代甘肅省所鑄地方小銀錠，實屬非常難得的傳世佳品。

“階州 董義正”花生銀錠，重86.1g，也出自清代甘肅地方銀號。清朝時期，階州隸屬甘肅，雍正七年（1729），階州升為直隸州，直隸于甘肅布政使司，領文、成二縣，現屬甘肅隴南市武都區管轄。

“正寧 路生奎”花生銀錠，保存完好，重79.2g，上書地名‘正寧’，下印銀匠名‘路生奎’，正寧名稱源于雍正元年（1723年），為避世宗“胤禛”之諱，改為正寧，正寧之名始見史冊。

“河州 路生奎”花生銀錠，75.3g，上書地名“河州”，下印銀匠名‘路生奎’，古城河州，位于甘肅南部，即今天的甘肅省臨夏回族自治州，此銀錠雖經歷風霜雨雪的沖擊，但也依然保存完好，和其他三塊銀錠一樣，皆屬于當今傳世之佳品。

Dongyizheng peanut silver ingot, weighing 86.1g, also comes from the local bank of Gansu in the Qing Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, it was subordinate to Gansu Province. In 1729, it was upgraded to Zhili Prefecture, which was under the jurisdiction of Wudu District, Longnan City, Gansu Province.

"Zhengning lushengkui" peanut silver ingot, well preserved, weighs 79.2g, with the name "Zhengning" written on it and the silver craftsman's name "lushengkui" printed on it. The name of Zhengning comes from the first year of Yongzheng (1723). In order to avoid the taboo of "Yinzhen" of Shizong, it was changed to Zhengning. The name of Zhengning was first seen in history.

"Dong Yizheng" peanut silver ingot, 75.3g, with the name of "He Zhou" in the upper part and the name of "Dong Yizheng" in the lower part. The ancient city of Hezhou, located in the south of Gansu Province, is today's Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture of Gansu Province. Although the silver ingot has experienced the impact of wind, frost, rain and snow, it is still well preserved. Like the other three pieces of silver ingots, it is the best one handed down today.

由于1933年民國政府施行“廢兩改元”（當時商民以銀錠向政府兌換銀元，而政府又把兌回的數千萬兩白銀又制成銀元），從此銀錠至唐宋以來歷經千余年后終于退出了歷史流通舞臺，故此，以上藏品均為目前存世非常稀少的收藏佳品，具有極高的歷史價值和收藏價值。

In 1933, the government of the Republic of China implemented "Abolishing the two reforms" (at that time, the merchants exchanged silver ingots for silver dollars from the government, and the government converted tens of millions of silver coins back into silver dollars). After thousands of years from silver ingots to the Tang and Song Dynasties, it finally withdrew from the stage of historical circulation. Therefore, the above collections are very rare collections with high historical value and collection price Value.
