【簡介】
我國近代工業的先驅者張之洞,在廣東任兩廣總督期間,曾于光緒十三年(1887)奏請在廣東廣州創建廣東錢局,采用機器制造銀元,從而成為我國現代機制銀元的開創者。光緒十五年(1889),張之洞奉命調往湖北,任湖廣總督,此后不久,便將廣東的經驗運用于湖北,并在湖北武昌籌建了國內第二家采用機器制造銀元的官方鑄錢機構——湖北銀元局,該局也是張之洞來到湖北后建造的第一家鑄錢機構。湖北銀元局所造銀元,因含銀量高,制作精良,廣受歡迎而行銷全國。湖北銀元局不僅廣鑄銀元,而且也曾發行紙幣。但因該局紙幣存世稀少,極難尋覓而很少為人們所熟悉。
光緒二十三年(1897)正月十二日,張之洞又奏準在銀元局東側原寶武局舊址處,籌建“湖北機器鑄銅錢局”,又稱“湖北鑄銅錢局”,并于光緒二十四年(1898)六月十七日建成投產。但是,該局因鑄錢嚴重虧本及設備問題,于光緒二十五年(1899)夏秋之交而停鑄,并更名為“湖北銀元局新廠”,劃歸湖北銀元局管理。
湖廣總督張之洞和湖北巡撫譚繼洵,于光緒十九年(1893)八月十九日奏準,在武昌洗馬池街原寶武局舊址西側之守備署舊址處,建造湖北銀元局,任候補道蔡錫勇為總辦。大約經過一年多的籌備、購置國外設備及安裝調試,湖北銀元局于光緒二十年(1894)十二月正式投產,開始鑄造多種湖北銀元:如大銀元(重庫平七錢二分)、兩開(重三錢六分)、五開(重一錢四分四厘)、十開(重七分二厘)、二十開(重三分六厘)等五種規格。
此“湖北省造宣統元寶庫平七錢二分”正面中央珠圈內鐫滿漢文“宣統元寶”四字，珠圈外上端鐫漢文“湖北省造”四字，下端鐫漢文“庫平七錢二分”六個字，左右兩側各鐫一個六花星。銀幣背面中央鐫蟠龍圖，上端環鐫英文“湖北省”，下端環鐫英文幣值“庫平七錢二分”，左右兩端稍上側各鐫一個六花星。此蟠龍龍紋清晰，須發長飄，體態矯健，雕刻工藝鬼斧神匠，蟠龍猶如穿梭奔騰于云霧波濤之中，顯得霸氣十足。作為清朝乃至封建體制的最后一個王朝，該錢幣的鑄造全面繼承了古錢幣文化的豐富內涵，為優秀的中華古錢幣文化藝術雕筑起一座偉大的豐碑，畫上了圓滿的句號。
【 introduction 】
The thirteenth year of Guangxu（1887）, Zhang zhidong, the pioneer of modern industry in China, who was the viceroy of Liangguang,. In 1889, Zhang zhidong was ordered to be transferred to Hubei and served as governor of Huguang. Soon after that, he applied the experience of Guangdong to Hubei and set up Hubei silver Yuan bureau, the second official institution of making silver Yuan by machine in China, which was also the first institution of casting money after Zhang zhidong came to Hubei. Hubei silver Yuan bureau made silver Yuan, because of high content of silver, excellent production, widely popular and marketing. Hubei silver Yuan bureau not only made silver Yuan widely, but also issued banknotes. But because it is so rare and hard to find, it is little known.
On the 12th day of the first month of the 23rd year of Guangxu emperor (1897), Zhang zhidong signed a permit to prepare for the establishment of "Hubei machinery copper coin casting bureau", also known as "Hubei copper coin casting bureau", at the former site of Baowu bureau on the east side of the silver dollar bureau. However, due to serious losses and equipment problems, the bureau stopped casting in the 25th year of Guangxu (1899) at the turn of summer and autumn, and changed its name to "Hubei silver Yuan bureau new factory", under the management of Hubei silver Yuan bureau.
Zhang zhidong, governor of Huguang province, and Tan jixun, governor of Hubei province, approved on August 19, 1893, to build the Hubei silver Yuan bureau at the old site of the former Baowu bureau on the west side of the old site of Ximachi street, Wuchang. About after more than a year of preparation and purchase foreign equipment and installation and debugging, silver bureau of Hubei province Yu Guangxu December 20 years (1894) formally put into production, start casting a variety of Hubei silver: such as the big silver (library binary flat seven money), and two open three money six points (heavy) and five (heavy money four points four mile) and 10 (weighed seven mile), 20 open three cent six li (heavy), and other five kinds of specifications.
This "Hubei province makes the Xuantong coin treasure-house flat seven dollars and two cents" front central bead circle engrave with Chinese characters "Xuantong coin and two cents", outside the bead circle the upper end engrave with Chinese characters "Hubei province makes", the lower end engrave with Chinese characters " Library flat seven dollars and two cents", each engrave a six flower star. On the back of the silver coin, the central engraving dragon figure, the upper end of the engraved English "Hubei province", the lower end of the engraved English currency value " Library flat seven money two", the left and right ends of the slightly upper side of each engraved a six-flower star. With clear lines, long hair and beard, and a graceful figure, the coiling dragon seems to be flying through clouds and waves. As the last dynasty of the qing dynasty and even the feudal system, the coin casting fully inherited the rich connotation of the ancient coin culture, and built a great monument for the excellent Chinese ancient coin culture and art carving, painting a full stop.
