As the last feudal dynasty, the Qing government was incapable of causing its later decline. However, poor people think about change. The Qing Dynasty rulers launched the Westernization Movement and made active and enterprising major measures. Although they could not change the fall of the feudal dynasty, they caused tremendous changes in all aspects of society. The coin industry was one of them.
At the end of 1908, the Qing government twice asked the country’s 24 governors on the issue of silver dollar units. Twelve people in favor of the "two" unit, 9 people in the "yuan" unit, and 3 people who used the two and yuan together. The branch office advocates the establishment of a currency investigation bureau to collect opinions from all parties. However, due to the illnesses of Cixi and Guangxu, the political situation changed, and the "Yuan" unit took advantage of the chaos. Sheng Xuanhuai's plan for Zaize: The currency system is yet to be investigated, and the people's birthday needs to be used, not for a day without trading, but for the time being, the silver dollar (ie Longyang) that has been used in common use can be used temporarily. They also drafted a unified currency system, and the central bank would unify the currency system. The banknotes, gold coins, silver coins and nickel-copper coins designed in the method are entirely Western French. Among them, silver dollars are divided into five grades, and one dollar silver coin weighs seven coins and two cents. Then he mobilized the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce to write to the Qing court and strongly opposed the casting of one or two silver coins. Under the attack of internal and external forces, the regent tried to implement a new deal to buy people's hearts, so that the Du branch reconsidered the currency system, and Zaize completely denied the two units.
Therefore, at that time, there were only seven silver dollars for the "Guangxu Yuanbao", and there were no more silver dollars for the "Guangxu Yuanbao". From this point of view, the difficulties encountered during the implementation of Guangxu Ingots were due to the fact that the provincial forces at the time were so rich in their own pockets that their distribution was difficult, so that there are very few Guangxu Ingots in the world, and they have become popular in the collectibles market. Darling. Most people may not be able to see such coins in their entire lives. The picture below shows that I was fortunate enough to see a Guangxu yuan treasure, a quarter of a quarter of a coin, due to work.
This Guangxu yuanbao storehouse is flat for four cents and four cents for a coin. The bead ring on the front of the coin has Guangxu Yuanbao. The upper seal on the outside of the bead is made in Guangdong Province. The inner seal has a picture of a dragon, the upper seal is made in English, Guangdong Province, and the lower seal has an English dollar, four cents and four cents. Because of being tempered by time in the trend of history, the pattern of the coin is slightly worn, but the beech dragon on the back of the coin can still be seen. The beech dragon has orderly scales, the grains are visible, the dragon pattern is delicate, and the long eye is raised. , Piercing and piercing, beautiful nose, mighty and domineering, showing royal majesty.
The collection is exquisite in appearance and unique in its aesthetic style. The fusion of Manchu and Han culture is rarely seen on the front of the coin, while the back of the coin clearly marks the intervention of Western culture. Although the coins are small, they can also give a glimpse of society and culture. It is packed into the bone, mature and natural, deep typing, clear circulation marks, edge teeth pass through, and dragon scales are clear. It has high investment value and collection value. It has historical influence, is a revolutionary cultural relic of high value, and has far-reaching historical memorial significance; it is also a rare object in archaeology and research on Chinese history and culture.
Silver dollars are precious in material and high in artistic value. They are cast from precious metals or silver alloys. They are exquisitely crafted, with exquisite patterns, elegant texts, rich content, brilliant silver light, attractive appearance, and certain value preservation and appreciation functions. As the enthusiasm for collection and investment continues to heat up, silver dollars are extremely popular in the coin market, and Chinese silver dollars are likely to become a "dark horse" in the field of collection and investment in the future.
