【简介】

我国近代工业的先驱者张之洞,在广东任两广总督期间,曾于光绪十三年(1887)奏请在广东广州创建广东钱局,采用机器制造银元,从而成为我国现代机制银元的开创者。光绪十五年(1889),张之洞奉命调往湖北,任湖广总督,此后不久,便将广东的经验运用于湖北,并在湖北武昌筹建了国内第二家采用机器制造银元的官方铸钱机构——湖北银元局,该局也是张之洞来到湖北后建造的第一家铸钱机构。湖北银元局所造银元,因含银量高,制作精良,广受欢迎而行销全国。湖北银元局不仅广铸银元,而且也曾发行纸币。但因该局纸币存世稀少,极难寻觅而很少为人们所熟悉。
光绪二十三年(1897)正月十二日,张之洞又奏准在银元局东侧原宝武局旧址处,筹建“湖北机器铸铜钱局”,又称“湖北铸铜钱局”,并于光绪二十四年(1898)六月十七日建成投产。但是,该局因铸钱严重亏本及设备问题,于光绪二十五年(1899)夏秋之交而停铸,并更名为“湖北银元局新厂”,划归湖北银元局管理。
湖广总督张之洞和湖北巡抚谭继洵,于光绪十九年(1893)八月十九日奏准,在武昌洗马池街原宝武局旧址西侧之守备署旧址处,建造湖北银元局,任候补道蔡锡勇为总办。大约经过一年多的筹备、购置国外设备及安装调试,湖北银元局于光绪二十年(1894)十二月正式投产,开始铸造多种湖北银元:如大银元(重库平七钱二分)、两开(重三钱六分)、五开(重一钱四分四厘)、十开(重七分二厘)、二十开(重三分六厘)等五种规格。
此“湖北省造宣统元宝库平七钱二分”正面中央珠圈内镌满汉文“宣统元宝”四字,珠圈外上端镌汉文“湖北省造”四字,下端镌汉文“库平七钱二分”六个字,左右两侧各镌一个六花星。银币背面中央镌蟠龙图,上端环镌英文“湖北省”,下端环镌英文币值“库平七钱二分”,左右两端稍上侧各镌一个六花星。此蟠龙龙纹清晰,须发长飘,体态矫健,雕刻工艺鬼斧神匠,蟠龙犹如穿梭奔腾于云雾波涛之中,显得霸气十足。作为清朝乃至封建体制的最后一个王朝,该钱币的铸造全面继承了古钱币文化的丰富内涵,为优秀的中华古钱币文化艺术雕筑起一座伟大的丰碑,画上了圆满的句号。

【 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.
