Guangxu Yuanbao copper coin is another kind of Guangxu Yuanbao, with the words "Guangxu Yuanbao" on the front, Manchu and household name (or provincial name) on the outer edge, and 20 coins for making money on the bottom. Hubei Province pioneered China's copper coins, and in the following fifty years, copper coins were produced in large quantities.
Compared with square hole copper coins, machine-made copper coins are better cast, the market is happy to use and the circulation is smooth. The following year, the government ordered the provinces along the Yangtze River to allow imitation casting. Later, copper coins were minted all over the country. So ten copper coins are cast in different places, which is the most obvious feature to distinguish different copper coins.
Extended data:
The characteristics of Guangxu Yuanbao;
1. Guangxu Yuanbao is the largest mechanical dragon silver in China. All the characters and patterns on the coin surface are rounded and convex according to the situation, which has a sense of three-dimensional sculpture. The structure of the easel is magnificent, just like when the ink is full, Xiangyun Panlong is different before and after, and stands suddenly, giving the viewer a sense of boundless Rowen.
2. Whether the font of 20-character copper coins produced by the Ministry of Household can be changed from "Ministry of Household" to "Guangxu Yuanbao" is neat or not. This coin has a solid foundation in Manchu calligraphy, free brushwork, vigorous and powerful, and is deeply guided by the essence of China's running script calligraphy, which is quite royal. In particular, the word "Bao" in Manchu is the first treasure, which highlights the high collection value of the political reform at that time.
3. Among all the copper coins with Yang Long pattern in China, it is the one with the most exquisite craftsmanship, the most perfect carving and the strongest sense of relief. The mirror surface is flat and smooth, and the pattern lines are very clear. In particular, one or two series of silver coins at home are beautifully cast, with deep mouth, deep line and deep side teeth, which are completely foreign-cast sample coins.
As a currency that can be circulated at any time, its secret anti-counterfeiting is unprecedented and unparalleled, and the patina on the surface of the coin is mellow. Even amateurs who have no research on silver dollars can't put it down, which is very ornamental. The Ministry of Housing wants to make 20 pieces of copper coins. Regular script calligraphy is extremely exquisite and elegant, and the shelf structure is balanced and stretched, which is second to none among the copper coins in Yang Long.
The anti-counterfeiting design of coins is unprecedented. As far as the technical level at that time is concerned, there are two most important points: first, almost every stroke and decoration of the coin has added dots that are difficult to imitate so far, which is amazing. Secondly, there are two clear dzi beads on the back of Panlong longan, pointing directly at the Dragon Ball, which is simply the best Panlong relief work.
