浙江二十三年版光绪元宝银币
订购设备时包括模具，据2011年才在德国披露的文献，得知浙省这批机具由苏勒厂(Schuler)承制，币模则委託奥图˙拜赫厂(Otto Beh)雕刻，于1898年2月16日(光绪二十四年一月二十六日)交付60只，计有七钱二分至三分六厘等五种银币之原模、二原模及印模交出口代理商甘拿秘 (Knape)转运中国。早期不明出处，众说纷纭，有皖省代制、杭州机器局造等说法，现终于澄清。
由于交付时币面上所标示的“光绪二十三年造”与实际年份不符，故弃用。存世之二十三年龙洋银铜样皆在德国制作，非常罕见。
2011年德国奥图˙拜赫厂庆祝成立125年出版的资料，披露在该厂库房中整理出安徽、奉天、浙江、黑龙江及*疆新**五省银铜币的各式模具42只。其中“二十三年浙江省造”有阳面原模及阴面印模多只，除缺二角外其馀四种面额均有。
藏品介绍
中文名称：魏碑版浙江省造光绪元宝
英文名称：Wei tablet version of the yuanbao made in zhejiang province
类别：杂项
规格：一枚
尺寸：直径39毫米，重26.6克
品相：美品
正面双圈，内圈光绪元宝四字直读，中心满文光绪元宝。与外圈以珠圈相隔，外圈顶部铭文：二十三年浙江省造，底部铭文：库平七钱二分面值，整体字迹十分规整，线条清晰轮廓分明，表现压力十足，加上表面自然的褐黑色白银氧化包浆，开门见老，品相完美是不可多得的馆藏级银币。
正面一样有着褐黑色氧化包浆，龙鳞十分清晰，大小不一运用了透视的手法表现极具立体感，这是西方国家引进的表现手法，外圈英文CHEH-KIANG PROVINCE 7 MACE AND 2 CANDAREENS。左右各一六点星花，龙眼内有睛，两个凹陷的小孔，正是画龙点睛之笔，很多仿品是没有这两点的，中国龙被视为神物予以崇拜。“龙图是中国人的图腾,中国历代的君皇及皇族子孙被称为龙子，龙孙。龙的形象在皇室用品上被专有使用。据史书记载早在汉武帝时期的“白金三品",就铸有“龙〃的图形;其后的宋元明代,已有少部分流通币上铸有龙纹。特别是在历代花钱上,龙的图形则更多。清代未期光绪、宣统年间,官铸的金、银、铜元,其背面更是大多铸有龙图。据不完全统计,清代银币上的“龙"币图案约有近千种版别。这些龙更是千变万化，这枚钱币为坐龙，周边吉祥云，给人腾云驾雾，君临天下之感，古代只有皇室能自称为真龙天子，龙也象征着君王。
重量符合标准，由这个重量可以看出品相极佳，属于银币中的极品。
由于“二十三年造”的模具弃用，正面文字重刻，新模取消年度想必是避免这样规矩造成困扰。新模字体採用魏晋南北朝时期碑文的书法，因各王朝之中以北魏的立国时间最长，故名“魏碑”，乃晚清书法家绍兴人陶濬宣之手迹。由于“宝”字从“尔”，亦称“尔宝”。推测这是浙局在机器运到后近半年的光绪二十五年正月(1899年3月)才正式开铸的原因之一。
直径39毫米是银币的标准尺寸，钱币几乎没有磨损。
魏碑版早期被认为是光绪二十八年(1902年)所制，包括耿爱德(E. Kann)的《中国币图说彙考》也是如此；而由于七钱二分非常罕见，更被当成试制的样币。其实王荫嘉在20世纪40 年代出版的《泉币》第20期已指出：“幼时数见不鲜，整百如新者，至今犹历历在目……伯兄试铸之说，同人咸赞同之，而不以予言为然，然予实矢之，亦不信当时试铸说也。”此说随即得到编辑郑家相“所见相同，吾道不孤矣”的回应。第26期有蒋保厘出示其父所留家藏檀箧装开制原品一套，上刻跋曰：“光绪戊戌己亥之交，浙江设银圆局，锡之实从事焉。嗣有沮者，事逐止，识者惜之……”，“光绪戊戌己亥之交”也就是前述二十五年正月(1899年3月) 浙江银圆局开铸时辰，至此泉界才瞭解浙江魏碑银币的正确制作年份。
边齿齿痕很深，是机器巨大的压力才能压成，有明显的压痕。
魏碑版银圆产量不详，没有大量流通，在张璜编著的《中国银圆及银两币目录》内亦有论及：“此币于1902 年（光绪二十八年）铸就后即送往上海银行公会请求允与流通。盖上海执全国金融之牛耳，后经该会化验认为含银程度未够标准，须打折扣流通，谈判未有结果，浙江当局宁可收回熔毁，已流通者听其自然，故流传于市者甚稀。”查魏碑版制成的时间在蒋保厘出示盒装开制原品后，其跋文所记与银圆局设置时间吻合，故可确定为光绪二十五(1899)年，张璜对此的记载显非正确。另书内所提到的上海银行公会始于1915 年（民国4 年），正式成立则为1918 年（民国7 年），应该是记错了对象，笔者推测可能为成立时间较早的钱业公所。至于内容方面，王郑蒋（保厘）张四人不谋而合，因此张璜对魏碑版未能通行的论述应与实际情况相去不远。
尔后清廷以各省设局过多，同年四月下令除特许外均停铸银元，七月浙局奉旨停工，九月设备拆运至北京，做为筹办“京局”之用。
至于浙江的二十八年（1902年）版所造银币，是另向英国伯明翰厂购买新设备并委託制模的楷书版，这是另外一个课题了。
浙江魏碑银币的制作期间甚短，据老上海著名泉家郑家相回忆，当时盛行墨西哥鹰洋，商民对此种新款龙洋信心不足，故市面上不受欢迎，交易时需折扣收用。由此观之，销毁多馀存少；现今只有二角以下的小毫稍多，半圆及一圆均极罕见，未流通之全品尤为难得。由于商民对其信心不足，交易时常打戳验色及折扣收用，市面上不受欢迎。故销毁多馀存少，现二角以下的小毫稍多，半圆及一圆均少，佳品极罕见。
西王赏功钱，中国古代钱币之一，为大西国国主赏功之钱币（勋章）。中国古钱“五十名珍”之一，泉界大珍。
明朝末年起义军首领张献忠于四川铸造，有金、银两种材质。另有铜、铁质钱，但根据2017年四川省眉山市彭山区江口张献忠沉船遗址发掘判断，铜、铁质钱应为后世臆造。
金质的西王赏功花钱直径5.02—5.04厘米，厚0.2厘米，重35.71—53.56克。
银质的西王赏功花钱直径和厚度同金质币，重量33—35克。
1644年，明末农民起义军首领张献忠据川时，自称“大西王”，在成都建大西国，改元大顺，铸有“西王赏功”大钱，分金、银、 以奖励有军功者，存世极罕见。清朝统治期间，凡涉及西王的任何物品（更别说是西王赏功之物）定会被灭门九族，在西王称王的几年已是珍品，极少将领珍藏拥有，历经370多年尚未闻有人目睹西王赏功的真容。相传西王赏功做工精细，字体刚劲优美。

据记载，张献忠建立大西政权后，年号“大顺”，此后铸“大顺通宝”铜钱流通，字体是楷书，有小平钱、折二钱两种。张献忠还铸有“西王赏功”大钱，该钱为赏赐大西军中有功将士所用，据传有金银铜三个品种。钱的正面有“西王赏功”四字楷书，字体浑朴，笔画挺拔。该币制作极其精美，存世数量极少，早年曾传说为“孤品”。“西王赏功”大钱现流传于世的只有金、银两种材质的钱币，这也是目前截止发现的为数不多的一枚铜钱。据悉，此次“江口沉银”遗址出水的“西王赏功”也只见金币和银币两种。
到现今，各时代遗留下的钱币实物浩如瀚海，在世界货币史上也是绝无仅有的。数以万计千姿百态的古钱币构成了当今钱币收藏领域中最为庞大的收藏门类，吸引了无数爱好、收藏和研究者，市场前景非常乐观，“钱”途无限。西王赏功钱乃钱币之大珍，在当时已属珍贵之物，历经370余年的今天，尚未闻有人目睹西王赏功的真容。相传西王赏功做工精细，所用制作材料必是千年不腐不锈，字体乃是当时著名书法名家亲手创作，刚劲优美。
重量69.6克

钱面文字“西王赏功”以楷书书写，从上而下而右而左直读。字体浑朴，笔画挺拔，边廓精整，品相佳美。钱背光而无文。两面的包浆沉着，呈古铜色和黑色，包浆虽薄，却异常坚硬，没有脱落，具有极高的收藏价值。实物存世较少，属市场中自然流通货币的精品，是古钱币爱好者最关心并争相收藏的对象，有着巨大的升值空间。
背面氧化绿绣自然
这枚钱币有着难得的黑漆古包浆，开门见老，是不可多得的稀世珍品。
黑漆古：古铜长期存放在大气中锈蚀机理分析紫铜、青铜、黄铜在大气中都很稳定，一般小于0.00015毫米/年，在铜表面会生成一层极稳定的保护薄膜，主要是碱式硫酸铜呈橄榄绿色，还会产生氧化铜（CuO）中黑色，硫化亚铜黑色，及氧化亚锡（SnO)棕黑色。年代越久则锈层加厚颜色也变深，俗称为“黑漆古”，若长期在手中把玩则会使表面光亮如镜俗称“传世古”。但在这类古铜中也产生电化学腐蚀，故是“哑声‘。若古铜长期在干燥的环境中（大气中或土中）也会产生氧化铜和氧化亚金星呈深黑色，俗称“黑漆古”
这二枚钱币包浆自然，底光柔和，所谓包浆是自然形成的氧化层，也有认为手盘包浆，两者不同，但同时都有保护钱币的功能，有如给钱币镀上一层保护膜，是钱币不再氧化，便于收藏传世，如果觉得钱币脏，可以用清水洗，再用棉布擦干，不要破坏包浆，破坏了包浆就相当于破坏了保护层，更重要的是包浆是鉴定新老钱币最简单有效的方法。细看这二枚钱币品相完美，没有磕缺，损毁，变形等是不可多的馆藏级钱币，可以说是千金易得一宝难求，建议收藏，传世。
英文翻译：Because of the "twenty-three years to build" the mold abandoned, the front text is re-engraved, the new model to cancel the year must be to avoid such a rule caused trouble. Xinmo font adopts the calligraphy of inscriptions in wei, jin and southern and northern dynasties. Among all dynasties, the northern wei dynasty has the longest history of founding the country, so it is named "wei monument". It is the handwriting of tao jun, a calligrapher from shaoxing in late qing dynasty. Because "bao" word from "er", also known as "er bao". It is speculated that this is one of the reasons that the zhejiang bureau did not officially start casting until the first month of the 25th year of guangxu emperor (March 1899), nearly half a year after the machine arrived.
Thirty-nine millimeters in diameter is the standard size for a silver coin, which has little wear and tear.
Early versions of the wei tablet were believed to have been made in the 28th year of the reign of emperor guangxu (1902), including geng ide's "the study of China's currency" (e. Kann). And because seven money two cents is very rare, more is regarded as the sample coin. In fact, wang yinjia in the 20th issue of quanyuan published in the 1940s pointed out: "when I was young, there were lots of things to see, and a hundred were like new things. Brother bo's opinion of the trial casting was widely approved by his fellow men, but he did not take the suggestion as an absolute fact, nor did he believe the opinion of the trial casting at that time." This said was then edited zheng jiaxiang "see the same, my way is not alone" response. In the 26th issue, jiang baoli showed his father's sandalwood casket, which he had put into a set of original articles. There are occupiers, things stop, the wise cherish..." ", "guangxu wuxu ji hai intersection" is also mentioned above in the first month of the 25th year (March 1899) zhejiang yinyuan bureau began to cast, so the spring boundary to understand the correct production of zhejiang weibei silver coin year.
Zhejiang twenty-third edition of guangxu yuan bao silver coin
When ordering equipment including mold, according to documents released in 2011 in Germany, learned that this batch of zhejiang province machinery by le Sue factory (Schuler) make grinders, currency mode is entrusted the figure ˙ worship hz factory (Otto;) sculpture, on February 16, 1898 (guangxu twenty-four years on 26 January) to deliver 60, meter seven binary money to three cent six li master mould of five pieces of silver, two master mould and stamping/export agent take secret (Knape) transport in China. Early unknown source, people's opinions vary, there are anhui province generation system, hangzhou machinery bureau, and so on, is finally clarified.
Because the "made in the 23rd year of the reign of emperor guangxu" marked on the currency surface at the time of delivery is inconsistent with the actual year, it is abandoned. In the 23rd year of its existence, all longyang silver and bronze samples were made in Germany, which is very rare.
In 2011, German autorbiehe plant celebrated its 125th anniversary by publishing information, revealing that 42 molds of silver and copper COINS from anhui, Mukden, zhejiang, heilongjiang and xinjiang provinces were found in the plant's warehouse. Among them, "made in zhejiang province in the year of 23", there are more than one original mold on the positive side and one on the negative side.

The edge teeth are very deep, is the huge pressure of the machine can be pressed into, there are obvious indentation.
The production of the silver yuan in wei dynasty is unknown, and there is not much circulation. It is also mentioned in the catalogue of Chinese silver yuan and silver COINS compiled by zhang huang: "this coin was minted in 1902 (the 28th year of the reign of emperor guangxu) and then sent to the Shanghai association of Banks for approval and circulation. Shanghai took the lead in the country's financial industry, after the association's tests found that the level of silver is not up to standard, must be discounted circulation, no result of the negotiations, the authorities in zhejiang would rather take back the meltdowns, the circulation has been left to its own will, so spread in the city is very rare. After jiang baoli showed the original product in a box, the postscript was recorded in accordance with the setting time of the silver circle bureau, so it can be determined as guangxu 25 (1899), zhang huang's record on this is not correct. In addition, the Shanghai association of Banks mentioned in the book began in 1915 (republic of China 4 years), and was formally established in 1918 (republic of China 7 years). As for the content, wang zheng jiang (bao li), zhang four people happened to coincide, so zhang huang on the wei tablet version of the failed to pass the discussion should not far from the actual situation.
In April of the same year, the qing court ordered all provinces to stop casting silver yuan except for special permission. In July, the zhejiang bureau was ordered to stop casting silver yuan. In September, the equipment was dismantled and shipped to Beijing for the preparation of "Beijing bureau".
As for the silver coin made in the twenty-eighth year (1902) edition of zhejiang province, it is a regular script version to purchase new equipment from the Birmingham factory in the United Kingdom and commission mold making, which is another subject.
Zhejiang wei bei silver coin production period is very short, according to the old Shanghai famous quan jia zheng jia-xiang recall, at that time prevailing in Mexico yingyang, the merchants of this kind of new longyang confidence is not enough, so the market is not welcome, when trading need discount collection. From this point of view, the destruction of surplus; Nowadays, there are only a little more than 20 cents, semicircle and a circle are very rare, not circulation of the whole product is particularly rare. Due to the lack of confidence in its merchants, the trade often stamp color test and discount collection, the market is not welcome. Therefore, the destruction of surplus little, now less than 20 cents of the small more, semicircle and a circle are less, very rare.
The king of the west awarded merit money, one of the ancient Chinese COINS, for the king of the west of the country to reward merit coin (medal). One of the "fifty treasures" of ancient Chinese money, it is a great treasure in quanjie.
Zhang xianzhong, the leader of the rebellion army in the late Ming dynasty, was cast in sichuan. There are also copper and iron COINS, but according to the 2017 excavation of the zhangxianzhong shipwreck site at the mouth of the Yangtze river in pengshan district, meishan city, sichuan province, the copper and iron COINS should be fabricated for later generations.
The gold is 5.02 -- 5.04 cm in diameter, 0.2 cm in thickness and 35.71 -- 53.56 g in weight.
The silver silver coin has the same diameter and thickness as the gold coin and weighs 33-35 grams.
In 1644, zhang xianzhong, the leader of the peasant uprising army in the late Ming dynasty, claimed to be the "king of western China" when he was in sichuan. He founded the state of western China in chengdu and changed the yuan into dashun. During the reign of the qing dynasty, any items related to the king of the west (let alone the items that the king of the west rewarded with meritry) were bound to be killed by the nine clans. During the reign of the king of the west, they were treasures, and few generals kept them. After 370 years, no one has ever seen the real appearance of the king of the west rewarding meritry. It is said that the king of the west works fine, strong and beautiful font.

According to records, zhang xianzhong established the western regime, the year "dashun", after the casting of "dashun tongbao" copper COINS in circulation, font is regular script, small money, two kinds of money. Zhang xianzhong also cast a "west king meritorious service" big money, the money for the reward of the outstanding officers and soldiers in the western army, it is said that there are three varieties of gold, silver and copper. On the front of the money, there is a four-character regular script, simple font, straight and straight strokes. This coin makes extremely exquisite, the quantity that exists in the world is very few, early days once legend is "solitary product". "The west king appreciates the merit" the big money now circulate in the world only gold, silver coin of two kinds of material, this also is a few copper coin that discovers up to now. It is reported that the "river mouth sink silver" site of the "west king appreciation of merit" also saw only two kinds of gold and silver COINS.
The front is the same with the brown black oxide coated paste, AND the dragon scales are very clear, with different sizes. The perspective technique is used to show the three-dimensional sense, which is introduced by western countries. The expression technique in the outer circle is English cheh-kiang PROVINCE 7 MACE AND 2 CANDAREENS. About 16 star flowers, longan has eyes, two hollow holes, is the finishing touch pen, a lot of imitation products are not these two points, the Chinese dragon is regarded as a sacred object to worship. "The dragon picture is a totem of the Chinese people. The emperors and their descendants are called the dragon son and the dragon grandson. The dragon image was used exclusively on royal items. According to historical records, as early as in the period of emperor wudi of the han dynasty, the "three platinum products" were cast with the figure of "dragon"; Later in the song, yuan and Ming dynasties, a small number of COINS were cast with dragon patterns. Especially in the history of money, dragon graphics are more. During the reign of emperor guangxu and emperor xuantong at the end of the qing dynasty, most of the gold, silver and bronze COINS cast by officials had dragon pictures on the back. According to incomplete statistics, the qing dynasty silver coin on the "dragon" pattern of about a thousand different. These dragons are ever-changing, this coin for sitting on the dragon, the surrounding auspicious clouds, give a person the feeling of flying clouds, king landing the world, in ancient times only the royal family can claim to be the real dragon, the son of heaven, the dragon is also a symbol of the king.
Weight is up to standard, from this weight can see the appearance of excellent, belong to the best of silver COINS.
Up to now, the COINS left over from all ages are like vast oceans of ocean, which is unique in the history of world currency. Tens of thousands of ancient COINS in various shapes and forms constitute the largest collection category in the field of coin collection today, attracting numerous hobbies, collections and researchers. The market prospect is very optimistic, and the way of "money" is unlimited. The west king's money is the great treasure of COINS, at that time has been a precious thing, after more than 370 years of today, no one has ever heard of the west king to see the real appearance of gong. Legend has it that the king of the west has a fine workmanship, using materials must be thousands of years of corrosion and rust, font is the creation of the famous calligraphy masters, strong and beautiful.
Money writing "west wang gong" to write in regular script, from top to bottom and right and left straight reading. Simple font, strokes straight and straight, neat outline, beautiful. Money is backlit but no paper. The coated pulp on both sides is composed of bronze and black. Although the coated pulp is thin, it is extremely hard and does not fall off. It is of high collecting value. Physical objects exist less, belong to the market in the natural circulation of the fine goods of the currency, is the ancient coin lovers most concerned about and compete for the object of collection, there is a huge room for appreciation.
This coin has a rare black lacquer ancient wrapped pulp, open the door to see the old, is a rare treasure.
Black lacquer: bronze long-term in atmospheric corrosion mechanism analysis of copper, bronze, brass in the atmosphere is very stable, generally less than 0.00015 mm/year, in the copper surface generates a very stable layer of protective film, mainly alkaline type copper sulfate in olive green, also can produce copper oxide (CuO) in black, cuprous sulphur black, and stannous oxide (SnO), dark brown. The longer the age, the rust layer thickened color also become dark, commonly known as "black lacquer", if long in the hands of the hands will make the surface as bright as a mirror commonly known as "handed down the ancient". But in this type of copper also produces electrochemical corrosion, so it is "mute". If the bronze in the long-term dry environment (in the atmosphere or soil) will also produce copper oxide and oxidation of Venus is dark black, commonly known as "black lacquer ancient"
End of the second coin patina nature, light is downy, so-called wrapped slurry is a natural formation of the oxide layer, there are also think hands wrapped slurry, the two different, but at the same time have to protect the function of money, like to coin a layer of protective film on the plating, is money no longer oxidation, facilitate collection handed down from ancient times, if feel money is dirty, can wash, reoccupy cloth wipe, do not destroy the wrapped slurry, destroyed the wrapped slurry is equivalent to destroy the protective layer, more important is the wrapped slurry is the most simple and effective method for identification of new and old COINS. Look closely at the two COINS perfect, not broken, damaged, deformation and so on is not much of the collection of class COINS, can be said to be easy to find a treasure, it is recommended to collect, handed down from generation to generation.
