藏品介绍： 光绪元宝是清朝光绪年间流通的货币之一。由湖北两广总督张之洞率先引进英国铸币机器铸造银元和铜元，之后各省纷纷仿效。共有十九个省局铸造，除中央户部，地方省所铸铜元，皆在其正面上缘镌写省名。
光绪元宝是大清光绪年流通大面值货币之首，是我国首批引进海外技术的印发流通货币，对于现今也蕴藏了一定历史意义。光绪元宝中，价值最高的就是广东省造的双龙寿字币:库平重一两。清末铜价剧涨，民间毁钱为铜，以获数倍之利，市面出现钱荒。广东因停铸制钱，市面制钱日乏，小额流通十分不便。为救钱荒，同时受香港铜元及外币影响，光绪26年6月，两广总督德寿与前总督李鸿章奏准广东仿香港铜仙铸造机制铜元。故清代机制铜元的铸造由广东伊始。继而福建、江苏、四光绪元宝铜币川等省相继仿铸铜元。

Guangxu Yuanbao was one of the currencies circulated during the period of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty. Zhang Zhidong, governor of Guangdong and Guangdong provinces in Hubei, took the lead in introducing British coin machines to mint silver and copper yuan, which were followed by other provinces. There are nineteen provincial bureaus casting. Except for the central household department, the copper coins cast by local provinces are all inscribed on the upper margin of their fronts.
Guangxu Yuanbao is the first large denomination currency circulated in Guangxu year of the Great Qing Dynasty. It is the first circulation currency to introduce overseas technology in China. It also has certain historical significance for today. Among Guangxu Yuanbao, the most valuable is the Shuanglongshou coin made in Guangdong Province: Kupingzhong one or two. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the price of copper soared, and people destroyed money for copper, so as to gain several times of the profits, and there was a shortage of money in the market. Due to the suspension of money-making in Guangdong, the market is running out of money and the circulation of small amounts is very inconvenient. In order to save the money shortage, influenced by Hong Kong's copper dollar and foreign currency, in June 26, Guangxu, Governor Deshou of Guangdong and former Governor Li Hongzhang made a decision to imitate Hong Kong's copper coin casting mechanism. Therefore, the foundry of mechanism copper yuan in Qing Dynasty began in Guangdong. Then Fujian, Jiangsu and Siguangxu Yuanbao Copper Coin Chuan and other provinces successively cast Copper Yuan.
