晚清光绪十三年(公元1887年),两广总督张之洞,为维护清政府的统治,根据清政府的财政情况及对外贸易的需要,奏请清政府,主张自行铸制银元“龙洋”。获准后,于光绪十五年(公元1889年),在广东设厂开始制造广东省光绪元宝,到光绪十六年(公元1890年),广东省光绪元宝进入市面开始流通。随后,张之洞调任湖广总督,紧接着湖北省立马步广东省之后尘,于光绪二十一年(公元1895年),开设造币厂制造湖北省光绪元宝。与此同时,天津的北洋机器局也开始制造银元。见此情况,清政府的一些御史官员先后奏请清政府准许各省仿效广东、湖北两省。在清政府“各省一律鼓铸”的圣旨下后,各省闻风而动,仿效广东、湖北两省,争先恐后的竞相设厂制造本省的光绪元宝。

In the 13th year of Guangxu's reign in the late Qing Dynasty (1887 AD), Zhang Zhidong, governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, requested the Qing government to cast the silver dollar "Longyang" according to the Qing government's financial situation and the needs of foreign trade. After approval, in the 15th year of Guangxu (AD 1889), a factory was set up in Guangdong to manufacture Guangdong Guangxu Yuanbao. In the 16th year of Guangxu (AD 1890), Guangdong Guangxu Yuanbao entered the market and began to circulate. Subsequently, Zhang Zhidong was transferred to the post of governor of Huguang, followed by Hubei Province immediately following Guangdong Province. In the 21st year of Guangxu (AD 1895), he opened a mint to manufacture Yuanbao of Guangxu in Hubei Province. At the same time, Beiyang Machinery Bureau in Tianjin also began to manufacture silver dollars. Seeing this, some imperial officials of the Qing government successively asked the Qing government to allow all provinces to follow the example of Guangdong and Hubei. Under the imperial edict of the Qing government that "all provinces should be encouraged to cast", all provinces, following the example of Guangdong and Hubei, scrambled to set up factories to manufacture Guangxu Yuanbao of their own province.

1896年(光绪二十二年),朝廷批准福建省由官绅办造币厂,仿广东铸小银元。同年10月这家造币厂奉令停办,总督边宝泉收回铸币权,随即下令试铸七钱二分大银元。该币正面点圈内镌汉文和满文"光绪元宝"字样,上铸"福建官局造"五字,下镌"库平七钱二分"六字,两旁镌花饰。背面蟠龙居中,外圈为英文,并镌有"7"和"2"阿拉伯数字,两旁镌小花饰。藏品的品相精致,其审美风格独持,钱币正面鲜然可见满汉文化的融合,而钱背却明确标示了西方文化的介入。其包浆入骨,熟旧自然,深打字口清楚,流通痕迹明显,边齿过关,龙鳞清晰,具有极高的投资价值和收藏价值。它有着历史熏陶,是价值很高的革命文物,具有深远的历史纪念意义;同时还是考古和研究中国历史文化难得的实物。福建官局造光绪元宝七钱二分银币铸额不多而流通日久,留存至今罕见,为中国机制币中的顶级珍品

In 1896 (the 22nd year of Guangxu), the imperial court approved Fujian Province to set up a mint by officials and gentry to imitate Guangdong to cast small silver dollars. In October of the same year, the Mint was ordered to close down. The governor Bian Baoquan took back the coinage right and immediately ordered the trial coinage of seven coins and two silver dollars. In the dot circle on the front of the coin, the words "Guangxu Yuanbao" in Chinese and Manchu are engraved, with the five words "made by Fujian official bureau" on the top and the six words "Kuping seven coins and two cents" on the bottom, and flowers are engraved on both sides. On the back, the coiled dragon is in the middle, the outer ring is in English, engraved with "7" and "2" Arabic numerals, and small flowers are engraved on both sides. The appearance of the collection is exquisite, and its aesthetic style is unique. The integration of Manchu and Han culture can be seen on the front of the coin, while the Qian back clearly indicates the intervention of western culture. It is wrapped into the bone, cooked naturally, deep, clear typing mouth, obvious circulation traces, edge teeth pass the customs, and dragon scales are clear. It has high investment value and collection value. It has historical edification, is a revolutionary cultural relic of high value, and has far-reaching historical significance; At the same time, it is also a rare object for Archaeology and the study of Chinese history and culture. The seven coin and two cent silver coins made by the Fujian government bureau are rare and have been circulating for a long time. They are the top treasures of China's mechanism coins

Recently, I was lucky to collect seven and two cents from the Guangxu Yuanbao treasury of Fujian government bureau. The obverse of the coin reads "Guangxu Yuanbao", the outer ring is surrounded by beads, and the upper edge of the coin reads "made by Fujian official bureau". The lower margin of Ji value is written as "Kuping seven coins and two cents"; The "flying dragon" picture and bead ring are cast in the middle of the back, in English up and down. The texture is thick and realistic, and the collection value is attached with special historical significance. It is a valuable boutique integrating collection and investment!

此币乃采用优质银料精制而成,钱币保存完整,有自然磨损痕迹,包浆自然醇厚,具有很高的收藏价值。藏品设计精美,做工精细,纹饰丰富,布局合理,层次鲜明,线条流畅优雅,工艺纯熟精湛,艺术价值较高。由于银元在我国发行流通前后不过半个世纪的时间,在我国货币的历史长河中仅是十分短暂的一瞬间,但中国银元见证了中国从封建社会演化为半封建半殖民地社会的历史过程,是我国近代货币史和钱币学的重要组成部分,独具历史意义。钱币虽小,却也能反应当时社会文化的特征,收藏意义颇佳,价值深厚。

This coin is refined from high-quality silver. The coin is intact, has natural wear marks, and the pulp is natural and mellow. It has high collection value. The collection has exquisite design, fine workmanship, rich patterns, reasonable layout, distinct levels, smooth and elegant lines, skilled and exquisite workmanship and high artistic value. Since the silver dollar has been issued and circulated in China for only half a century, it is only a very short moment in the long history of China's currency. However, China's silver dollar has witnessed the historical process of China's evolution from feudal society to semi feudal and semi colonial society. It is an important part of China's modern monetary history and Numismatics and has unique historical significance. Although coins are small, they can also reflect the characteristics of social culture at that time. They are of great significance and profound value.
