1904年光绪三十年湖北银圆局正式改名银币局，开铸新银元。湖北省壹两正面中央铭文“大清银币”，是中国最早有“大清银币”字样的银币。上缘“光绪三十年湖北省造”，下方刻“库平一两”。背面为双龙戏珠，中央面值“壹两”，外缘上下为英文。依大清银币四字之大小，分为大小字两版。模具由日本大阪造币厂制作。
俗称“湖北壹两”是流通银币中，除吉林厂平壹两外唯一的“两”制银币，巧合的是两者背部皆为双龙图案。湖北壹两推行并不成功，失败原因主要是制钱与铜元间的兑换基本上是以七钱二分银元为主，虽然比价每日有所变化，但两制币推出并没有使用上的方便，反而增加困扰。所以现在留存极其少，相当珍罕。
光绪三十年湖北省造库平一两银币
这枚光绪三十年湖北省造大清银币库平一两银币，银币正面中央珠圈内镌满汉文“大清银币”四字，珠圈外上环镌汉字“光绪三十年湖北省造”，下环镌汉字“库平一两”。银币背面中央镌汉字“壹两”，左右环镌『双龙戏珠图案』，龙图外上环镌英文省名HU-PEH PROVINCE(湖北省)，下环镌英文币值ONE TAEL(一两)，左右两端镌满文“一两”。银币文字俊秀，龙图生动传神，堪称清代龙洋中的典范。
边齿压痕明显，表现压力十足。
银币压力：由于清朝自民国使用英国进口造币机器，压力高达五十吨，这个技术直到民国结束也未被超越，所以国内仿制银币多为图案模糊不清，内齿相连，并齿，所以很多专业的钱币收藏者，一看钱币说是压力不足，就变相的说是仿品，真品银币，图案清晰，无论是边齿，还是内次，都十分规整，且不会出现相连，并齿的情况，内齿长短一致，整齐划一，不会出现长短不一的情况，边齿也不会有斜齿，或者齿痕极浅的情况，因为仿币是用一种小型的设备，围着银币边缘，滚上一圈，我们称之为滚齿，很多阴阳齿等特殊齿轮是后滚出来的，在钱币边缘形成一圈滚痕，所以我们看钱币首要的就是看它的压力是否足够，线条是否清晰，没有瑕疵，多余的痕迹。
此枚光绪三十年湖北省造大清银币库平一两，重量35.8克，可见毫无磨损，保存较好，其色泽自然，不论是文字还是图案，都显得自然细腻，深浅合适。文字清秀，内容丰富，银光灿烂，其貌可人，此币品相完美，具有极高的收藏价值。
英文翻译：1904 Guangxu thirty years Of Hubei Silver yuan bureau officially renamed the silver coin Bureau, opened the new silver dollar. The central inscription on one or two fronts in Hubei province is "Da Qing silver coin", which is the earliest silver coin with the words "Da Qing silver coin" in China. Upper edge "Guangxu thirty years made in Hubei Province", below engraved "kuping one or two". The back is double dragon play bead, the central face value "one or two", the outer edge up and down for English. According to the size of the four characters of the qing silver coin, it is divided into two versions. The molds are made by the Osaka Mint in Japan.
Commonly known as "Hubei One and two" is the only "two" silver coin in circulation, except jilin Factory Ping one and two. Coincidentally, both of them have double dragon patterns on their backs. The implementation of "One and two" in Hubei province was not successful. The main reason for the failure was that the exchange rate between coins and copper yuan was basically seven coins and two silver dollars. Although the exchange rate changed daily, the introduction of "two systems" currency did not make it convenient to use, but increased the confusion. So there are very few of them left, and they are rare.
In the thirty years of Guangxu, Hubei Province, one or two silver coins were made
This guangxu thirty years made in Hubei Province daqing silver coin Library ping one or two silver coins, the central bead circle on the front of the silver coin is full of Chinese "Daqing silver coin" four words, the outer ring of the bead ring engraved Chinese characters "Guangxu thirty years made in Hubei Province", the lower ring engraved Chinese characters "Library ping one or two".

The silver coinage is beautiful and the dragon picture is vivid, which can be called the model of dragon Yang in the Qing Dynasty.
