广东省造光绪元宝库平七钱二（双龙寿字币）

广东省造双龙寿字光绪元宝一枚，此币铸于光绪三十一年(1905)初，为纪念慈禧七十寿辰而铸。张炯伯在《广东省造银币》一文中写道：“惟本品因未纪年，殊难遽断，然观其图案，谐作福寿，环绕双龙，幕无英文，意含颂祝，大异常制。由此以推，专铸以祝慈禧太后七旬万寿者也。
“广东双龙寿字币一两、七钱二分、七钱二”银币的铸造，史料中没有确切记载，泉家们历来对于其具体铸造情况有不同的解读，至今没有定论。民国时期的张炯伯等学者认为:这种银币系光绪三十一年(1905)为纪念慈禧太后七十寿辰而铸造的。张炯伯在其《广东省造壹两银币》一文中称：“惟本品因未纪年，殊难遽断，然观其图案，谐作福寿，环绕双龙，幕无英文，意含颂祝，大异常制。由此以推，成为纪念币之一种，专铸以祝慈禧太后七旬万寿者也。
张执群先生收藏的《银圆造币钢模大全》》书中就收录有"广东省造寿字银币，钢模数套。书中收录有“广东省造寿字银币”钢模数套，分为七钱二分和一两共两种，其中就有《双龙寿字库平重壹两（阴翼纹-阳翼纹）和库平七钱二分》钢模。这也印证了“王述生”所著（述庵秘录 ）属实。 综上所述，可得出这样的结论：“双龙寿字”纹银币分三种版别，面值有两种。因此币是为祝贺“慈禧太后六十寿辰（1894年）而铸，故铸额，留存至今的非常珍罕，这证明了广东曾同时铸造这两种面值的银币。
"双龙寿字币的具体铸造情况，至今还是一个未解之迷，,为出谱币、钱谱没有记载就不等于没有!无论历史事实如何，"广东双龙寿字银币"在中国近代官铸机制银币中的特地位是毋庸置疑的，其珍罕性和的收藏价值。

钱币作为一种物质文化，是从其所在时代的社会文化中沉淀下来的，从一个或多个侧面反映了钱币铸造的特定历史时期的政治、经济、文化的历史概貌，以及这个特定历史时期社会人群不同的心理。由于在社会政治、经济、文化生活中的特殊地位，钱币又是其铸造时期政治、经济、文化状况的重要的物质见证之一，因此有着其他历史文物的文化价值。钱币无论其形状如何，就其性质而言，又都是特殊的商品及精美的艺术品。This coin was made at the beginning of 1905 to commemorate the 70th birthday of Cixi. Zhang jiongbo wrote in the article "making silver coins in Guangdong Province" that: "however, this product is hard to break suddenly because of the lack of chronology. However, the design of this product is harmonious, making happiness and longevity, surrounding Double Dragons, without English screen, meaning praising and wishing, and greatly abnormal system. Thus, tui became one of the commemorative coins, which was specially made to wish Empress Dowager Cixi 70 years of life.

There is no exact record in the historical materials of the silver coins of "Guangdong shuanglongshou character coin one or two, seven money two Fen, seven money two". The quans have always had different interpretations of their specific casting conditions, and there is no final conclusion so far. According to Zhang jiongbo and other scholars in the Republic of China, this silver coin was minted in 1905 to commemorate the 70th birthday of Empress Dowager Cixi. In his article "making one or two silver coins in Guangdong Province", Zhang jiongbo said: "however, this product is hard to break abruptly because of the lack of chronology. However, he looks at the design, harmoniously makes happiness and longevity, encircles the Double Dragons, and the screen has no English, which means praising and wishing, and the system is very unusual. Thus, tui became one of the commemorative coins, which was specially made to wish Empress Dowager Cixi 70 years of life.

Mr. Zhang Zhiqun's collection of "the complete collection of silver coin and steel mould" includes "the silver coin with the character of longevity made in Guangdong Province, and the steel mould set." In the book, there is a steel module set of "Guangdong Province zaoshou silver coin", which is divided into two kinds: seven coin two Fen and one or two in total. Among them, there are steel modules of "shuanglongshou font flat weight one liang (Yin wing pattern Yang wing pattern) and Kuping seven coin two Fen". This also confirms the truth of Wang Shusheng's book (the secret record of Shuan). To sum up, we can draw the conclusion that there are three types of silver coins with double dragon longevity character, and there are two denominations. Therefore, the coin was coined to celebrate the 60th birthday of Empress Dowager Cixi (1894), so the amount of coinage is rare, and it remains very rare, which proves that Guangdong once coined these two kinds of silver coins at the same time.

"The specific casting situation of shuanglongshou coin is still an unsolved mystery up to now. No matter what the historical facts are," Guangdong shuanglongshou silver coin "has a unique position in the official silver coin casting mechanism in modern China, and its rarity and high collection value.

The back seal character "Shou" is decorated with the pattern of double dragons playing with beads outside the bead circle, which is in contrast with the front character "Fu", implying "Fu Shou Shuangquan". The version of "Guangdong Guangxu double dragon" longevity "character silver coin" is quite rare, and its unique and beautiful implication also increases its artistic aesthetic value. The "Guangdong Guangxu double dragon longevity silver coin" with historical and cultural value, artistic aesthetic value and collection investment value is undoubtedly a rare treasure for coin collectors! Longyang is the originator of coins, the earliest coin in China, equivalent to the first set of RMB in the collection of RMB. In addition, the dragon is the symbol of power, nobility and honor in traditional Chinese culture. Among the collections, the dragon is the most famous, the collection about the dragon is the most abundant, and the appreciation space is the largest.

As a kind of material culture, money is precipitated from the social culture of its era. It reflects the historical profile of politics, economy and culture in a specific historical period of coin casting from one or more aspects, as well as the different minds of the social groups in this specific historical period. Because of its special position in social political, economic and cultural life, money is one of the most important material evidences of its political, economic and cultural conditions in the casting period, so it has irreplaceable cultural value of other historical relics. No matter what the shape of coins is, in terms of their nature, they are all special commodities and exquisite works of art.
