千古商城 光绪元宝户部造当制钱二十文

清代钱币如星河般灿烂，而要论古钱币的价值，当属清朝光绪年间流通的货币——光绪元宝为最。清朝是我国最后一个封建王朝，其后期的衰落可谓造成了中国历史上最为混乱的时期，清政府的无能显而易见，然穷则思变，洋务运动无疑是清朝统治者做出积极进取的重要举措，而基于洋务运动的影响，铸币业也发生了改变。

The coins of Qing Dynasty are as brilliant as the stars, and the value of ancient coins is the most valuable one in the reign of Guangxu. The Qing Dynasty is the last feudal dynasty in China. Its decline in the later period can be described as the most chaotic period in Chinese history. The incompetence of the Qing government is obvious. However, when it is poor, it will change. The Westernization Movement is undoubtedly an important initiative for the rulers of the Qing Dynasty to make positive progress. Based on the influence of the Westernization Movement, the mint industry has also changed.
