光绪元宝*藏西**一两样币，正面铸有“光绪元宝官炉局铸”字样，背面则铸有“*藏西**壹两”四字，两面周围皆有双环套连珠纹式样。其轮廓周正，钱文深峻，字形硬朗，笔画丰腴，粗细均匀，横竖笔画不见顿挫，撇、捺、钩笔不见锋芒。整体材质精良，形制规整，品相极佳，具有无法估量的学术与历史价值。

作为近代中国钱币中的精品，光绪元宝不仅价值不菲，而且也是一枚货真价实的革命*物文**，它的图案与外形设计，都能展现出清朝历史的风雨兴衰，因而，无论是史学家进行历史研究还是历史学家用来解读奥秘，都是一种不可替代的纪实实物。
1897年（光绪二十三年）6月21日，湖南巡抚陈宝箴向清廷奏请铸造银元，获准后从英国定购了银币铸造设备。『湖南省造光绪元宝库平七钱二分银币』的铸造时间大约在光绪二十四年 (1898年)，因铸额小传世稀罕而不为广大历史钱币收藏者和研究者所熟悉。本人认为，其铸造银币的钢模可能由当时银币铸造和「钢模制作」技术较为成熟『湖北银元局』代为制作。

英文翻译：With precious material and high artistic value, silver is made of precious metal or silver alloy. It is exquisitely made with exquisite patterns, elegant words, rich content and brilliant silver light. It is lovely in appearance and has certain functions of preserving and appreciating value. With the increasing heat of collection investment, silver is extremely hot in the coin market, and Chinese silver is likely to become a "dark horse" in the field of collection investment in the future.
In recent years, as the heat of collection and investment continues to heat up, silver is increasingly popular, and the price rises all the way. Especially the treasure silver, in the collection of trading market performance is very active, but also very beautiful transaction records.
Historical records of the "Guangxu yuan Bao" at that time a total of 19 provincial bureau cast. In addition to the central ministry of households, the local province of the copper COINS, are engraved on the front edge of the province name. There are: Account Department; The northern; Hubei province; Jiangnan. Henan; Hunan; Jiangxi province; Shandong; Guangdong; Qingjiang. Zhejiang; Jiangsu; Sichuan; Fujian; Anhui; Jilin; Mukden. Guangxi; Xinjiang; In heilongjiang province.

Guangxu yuan Bao Xizang one or two sample COINS, the front is cast "Guangxu Yuan Bao guan furnace bureau cast", the back is cast "Xizang one two" four characters, both sides are surrounded by double ring set of pattern beads. Its outline is round, Qian Wen is deep and steep, the shape is hard, the strokes are plump, the thickness is even, the vertical and vertical strokes do not stop, skim, right, hook pen does not see the edge. The overall material is excellent, the shape and system is regular, the product is excellent, with inestimable academic and historical value.
At that time, guangxu Yuanbao (xizang No. 1) was mainly circulated in Tibet, and its existence was very rare. Since there is no mint in Xizang, this coin is minted directly by the Tianjin Mint. Although the collection has gone through endless years, the lines are still clearly visible and the circulation traces are obvious, which witness the accumulation of its history. It has a very obvious historical transitional feature and has an indescribable collection value.
As the high-quality goods in the modern China COINS, guangxu wing not only expensive, but it is also a real revolutionary cultural relics, its design and appearance design, can show the storm of the rise and fall of the qing dynasty history, therefore, both historians in historical research and historians use to interpret the mystery, is a kind of irreplaceable documentary material object.
On June 21, 1897 (the 23rd year of guangxu Emperor), Chen Baozhen, the governor of Hunan province, sent a letter to the Qing court asking for silver COINS and ordered equipment for silver COINS from Britain. The minting time of "The guangxu Yuan treasure house in Hunan Province, seven COINS and two COINS" was about the 24th year of Guangxu dynasty (1898), which was not familiar to the collectors and researchers of historical COINS because of the rarity of the minting amount. I think the steel mould of its silver coin may be made by the then silver coin casting and "steel mould making" technology is more mature "Hubei Silver dollar Bureau".
On June 21, 1897 (Guangxu twenty-third year), Chen Baozhen, governor of Hunan province, sent for silver COINS for trial. After being approved, he ordered a batch of coinmaking equipment and a full set of "Guangxu ingot" steel mould from Heaton Son Coinmaking Company in England, and then tried to cast some sample COINS of two cents in Kuping's seven COINS in Heaton Mint in England. On the front side of the sample coin, the four characters "Guangxu Yuan Bao" were engraved, the four characters "Made in Hunan Province" were engraved on the top, and the six characters "Kuping Seven qian two" were engraved on the bottom, both sides of the sample coin were engraved with small flowers.
