藏品描述

光绪元宝当制钱二十文，整体以古铜色呈现，珠圈内铸有“光绪元宝”字样，外缘上为满文及户部二字，下为“当制钱二十文”楷书字样，字体端庄大气，体现了当时的货币度量衡制度。其边缘的装饰花纹，为钱币增添了一份精致感。背面龙纹精美，龙在中华文化中象征着权威和吉祥，这条龙刻画得栩栩如生，龙鳞清晰可辨，龙身蜿蜒矫健，周围英文环绕，是晚清时期中西合璧的缩影。This Guangxu Yuanbao is denominated as "当制钱二十文" (Equivalent to Twenty Cash Coins). The coin is entirely in an ancient copper color. Inside the beaded circle, the characters "光绪元宝" (Guangxu Yuanbao) are cast; on the outer edge, the upper part features Manchu script and the two characters "户部" (Hubu), while the lower part is inscribed with the regular script characters "当制钱二十文" (Equivalent to Twenty Cash Coins). The font is dignified and grand, reflecting the monetary measurement system of that time. The decorative patterns on its edge add a touch of delicacy to the coin. The dragon pattern on the reverse is exquisite: in Chinese culture, the dragon symbolizes authority and auspiciousness. This dragon is depicted vividly, with clearly distinguishable dragon scales and a winding, vigorous body. Surrounded by English inscriptions, the coin epitomizes the integration of Chinese and Western elements in the late Qing Dynasty.
