Boutique Recommendation - Two Guangxu Yuanbao made in Yunnan Province
*本次藏品 云南省造光绪元宝一组
典藏尺寸：重量13.2g直径26.1mm | 重量12.8g直径25.9mm
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。云南是民国时期政府唯一同意铸造龙洋的省份，自光绪三十四年（1908年），至民国三十八年（1949年）云南造币厂曾十铸“云南半圆龙洋”，流行全国各省；据不完全统计，云南造币厂自铸自发的“半圆龙”有八千多万枚，富滇银行委托制发的约1.5亿枚，其他商号委托铸造的数目不详。铸量是很大的，经过漫长岁月的流通损耗和回收熔毁，现在的存世量虽无准确数字，但估计数量在全国也是数一数二。因此，无论是出于个人爱好收藏还是进行藏品投资，都是非常值得的。
Guangxu Yuanbao was one of the currencies circulating during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. Zhang Zhidong, the Governor General of Hubei and Guangdong provinces, was the first to introduce British coinage machines to mint silver and copper coins, and later various provinces followed suit. There are a total of nineteen provincial bureaus that cast copper coins, with the exception of the Central Ministry of Revenue and local provinces, all of which have provincial names engraved on their upper edges. Yunnan was the only province during the Republic of China period where the government agreed to cast the "Yunnan Half Round Dragon Ocean". From the 34th year of the Guangxu reign (1908) to the 38th year of the Republic of China (1949), the Yunnan Mint minted ten "Yunnan Half Round Dragon Oceans", which became popular in various provinces throughout the country; According to incomplete statistics, Yunnan Mint has over 80 million self minted "half round dragons", while Fudian Bank commissioned the production of about 150 million. The number of commissioned mints by other merchants is unknown. The casting quantity is very large. After a long period of circulation loss and recycling and melting, although there is no accurate figure for the current surviving quantity, it is estimated to be one of the best in the country. Therefore, whether it is collecting for personal interests or investing in collectibles, it is very worthwhile.

近期我公司征集了两枚云南省造光绪元宝库平三钱六分新龙二回珠版，典藏尺寸分别为直径26.1mm，重量13.2g和直径25.9mm，重量12.8g。此钱币形制、大小及材质皆符合规定。正面内圈刻有“光绪元宝”四个大字，上环“云南省造”四字，下环“库平三钱六分”六字，左右两端饰有星花，字体端庄清秀，笔画圆润饱满；纹饰自然，雕刻精细。银币背面无英文字母，中央珠圈内镌蟠龙图，龙面与其他省龙图迥异，龙头端庄大气，龙鳞精致细腻，龙爪刚劲有力。蟠龙图火焰珠下二圈，圈内有各有一点，四周围绕着着一圈细密的圈珠，圈珠左右各有一星花进行点缀。宣统三年为统一币制，将粗字粗龙的模具全部销毁，开始只铸细字细龙半圆银币，所以它的存世量较多，宣统三年开始发行，后续民国时期也在发行。总的来说云南省造光绪元宝库平三钱六分新龙二回珠版的设计非常精美，独树一帜，蕴含的艺术价值非常丰富，值得收藏。
Recently, our company has collected two Yunnan Province made Guangxu Yuanbao Kuping Three Coins and Six Fen New Dragon Second Edition pearl plates, with collection sizes of 26.1mm in diameter, 13.2g in weight, and 25.9mm in diameter, and 12.8g in weight. The shape, size, and material of this coin all comply with the regulations. The front inner circle is engraved with the four big characters "Guangxu Yuanbao", the upper ring is "Made in Yunnan Province", and the lower ring is "Kuping Three Coins and Six Fens". The left and right ends are decorated with stars, and the font is dignified and elegant, with round and full strokes; The pattern is natural and the carving is exquisite. The silver coin has no English letters on the back, and the central bead circle is engraved with a coiled dragon image. The dragon face is different from other provincial dragon images, with a dignified and atmospheric dragon head, exquisite and delicate dragon scales, and strong and powerful dragon claws. There are two circles under the flame beads in the coiled dragon diagram, each with a dot inside. Surrounded by a dense circle of beads, each side is adorned with a star flower. In the third year of the Xuantong reign, the unified currency system was established by destroying all the molds of the coarse and coarse dragons. Initially, only the fine and fine dragon half round silver coins were minted, resulting in a relatively large number of surviving coins. They were issued in the third year of the Xuantong reign and later during the Republic of China period. Overall, the design of the Yunnan Province made Guangxu Yuanbao Kuping San Qian Liu Fen Xin Long Er Hui Zhu edition is very exquisite, unique, and contains rich artistic value, which is worth collecting.
