In recent years, the double dragon "Shou" coin made by Guangxu Yuanbao in Guangdong Province once became the favorite in the collection circle. It was so popular in the media that it was worth millions of yuan coins. For a long time, although modern silver coins have not been artificially hyped, their prices have been rising steadily, showing a good function of preserving and increasing value, and their potential investment value cannot be underestimated.
此廣東省造光緒元寶雙龍壽字幣，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，底部鑄錢幣幣值為“庫平重一兩”五字，左右兩側各鑄一蝙蝠圖案，把蝙蝠圖案鑄在幣面上，取“蝠”、“福”兩字諧音。珠圈以內，鑄有滿、漢文“光緒元寶”四字。
This Guangdong Province made Guangxu Yuanbao double dragon longevity coin, with the Pearl circle as the boundary on the front, can be divided into two parts: outside the Pearl circle, the upper end of the coin is "made in Guangdong Province", the bottom of the coin is "Kuping heavy one or two", with a bat pattern on the left and right sides. The bat pattern is cast on the coin surface, with the homophony of "bat" and "Fu". Within the bead circle, there are four characters of "Guangxu Yuanbao" in Manchu and Chinese.
錢背也以珠圈為界：珠圈外面，鑄有雙龍圖案，兩條神龍紋路清晰，鑄造工藝神乎其技，且龍身紋路精美，并有云海襯托，猶如神龍翱翔天際，極其瑰麗。珠圈里面，鑄有一圓形“壽”字。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。
Qian Bei is also bounded by the bead circle: outside the bead circle, there are two dragon patterns, two dragon patterns are clear, the casting process is superb, and the dragon patterns are exquisite, with clouds set off, just like the dragon flying in the sky, extremely magnificent. Inside the bead ring, there is a round character "Shou". At that time, its image was cast on the silver coin, implying the meaning of auspiciousness. Because the pronunciation of bat is the same as that of happiness, and the bat pattern is cast on the coin and the homophony of bat and happiness is taken. Moreover, if it corresponds to the word "longevity" on the back, it will constitute the meaning of "happiness and longevity".
