光绪三十四年北洋造光绪元宝库平七钱二分银币系光绪34年(1908年)北洋银元局(旧称北洋机器局)铸行。银币正面中央珠圈内镌满汉文“光绪元宝”四个字，珠圈外上端镌汉文“北洋造”，下端镌汉文币值“库平七钱二分”，左右两端各镌一个圆点。银币背面中央镌蟠龙图，上环镌英文“光绪34年”下镌英文“北洋”，左右两端稍下侧各镌一个圆点。

In the 34th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu, the silver coin of seven coins and two Fen was made by Beiyang silver yuan Bureau (formerly known as Beiyang Machinery Bureau) in the 34th year of Guangxu reign (1908). On the front of the silver coin, the central bead circle is full of Chinese characters of "Guangxu Yuanbao". The upper end of the bead circle is engraved with "made in Beiyang" in Chinese, and the lower end is engraved with the Chinese currency value of "Kuping seven coins and two Fen", with a dot on both sides. On the back of the silver coin, there is a picture of a dragon in the middle, a picture of "the 34th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu" in English on the upper ring, and a dot on the lower side of the left and right sides of the coin.

光绪元宝俗称“龙洋”，因钱币背面一般铸有龙纹而得名，是清朝光绪年间流通的货币之一，也是首批引进海外技术的印发流通货币。作为中国最早的机制币，光绪元宝也是中国近代机制币十大名誉品的其中之一。北洋银元的发展历程映衬着中国晚清货币政策的进与退，每一次断档也刻录着一次历史的颠簸。加上清末、民国战乱连连等因素，一些较珍贵的光绪元宝银元品种存世量已极其稀少。了解造币史和造币厂的变迁过程，不仅可以理解银元的历史价值，同时也会对不同时期银元的种类、成色、龙纹特征、齿边特征等方面提高认知。故其具有重要的现实意义和历史意义，许多收藏家对它更是趋之若鹜，争相起价.。

Guangxu Yuanbao, commonly known as "Longyang", is one of the currencies in circulation during the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, and is also the first batch of printing and distributing currency with overseas technology. As the earliest machine-made currency in China, Guangxu Yuanbao is one of the top ten honorary products in modern China. The development course of Beiyang silver dollar reflected the advance and retreat of China's monetary policy in the late Qing Dynasty, and each disconnection also recorded a historical turbulence. In addition to the factors of the late Qing Dynasty and the continuous wars in the Republic of China, some of the more precious silver varieties of Guangxu Yuanbao have been extremely rare. Understanding the history of coinage and the changing process of mints can not only understand the historical value of silver dollar, but also improve the cognition of the types, color, dragon pattern and tooth edge characteristics of silver dollar in different periods. Therefore, it has important practical and historical significance, and many collectors are eager for it, competing for the price.

钱币收藏一般分为纸币、金银纪念币和古钱币三大类，而古钱币中银元一直是一大热点。因为银元材质珍贵，艺术价值高。北洋机器局初铸银元是在光绪十五年，面值仅“一元”一种，是天津官造的呈样银币，未流通，直至光绪二十二年，始铸流通银币。“大清光绪二十二年北洋机器局造”，面值有“一元”、“五角”、“两角”、“一角”、“半角”五种。是中国套以元为单位的计值银币。公元1903年7月，提出银币专由造币总厂制造，保留南洋（江南）、北洋、广东、湖北四局为分厂。银币材质珍贵，艺术价值高，由贵重金属或白银合金铸造，制作精美，图案考究，文字清秀，内容丰富，银光灿烂，其貌可人。

光绪元宝是由湖北两广总督张之洞率先引进英国铸币机器铸造银元和铜元，之后各省纷纷仿效。共有十九个省局铸造，除中央户部，地方省所铸铜元，皆在其正面上缘镌写省名。1793年首次在西藏铸行“乾隆宝藏”银币。1821年到1850年年间，台湾福建等地也曾仿制银圆，称为银饼。1890年开始正式铸造银元“光绪元宝”（即龙洋），各省纷起效尤。民国时期建立银本位货币制度以后，也以银元作为主要流通币。“光绪元宝”当时共十九个省局铸造。计有：1户部；2北洋；3吉林；4奉天；5清江；6浙江；7江南；8广东；9山东；10福建；11湖南；12湖北；13四川；14江西；15河南；16安徽；17广西；18新疆；19黑龙江。

Coin collection is generally divided into paper money, gold and silver commemorative coins and ancient coins, among which silver dollar has always been a hot spot. Because silver is precious in material and of high artistic value. Beiyang Machinery Bureau first coined silver coins in the 15th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu, with a face value of only "one yuan". It was a sample silver coin made by Tianjin government. It was not in circulation until the 22nd year of Guangxu. "Made by Beiyang Machinery Bureau in the 22nd year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty", there are five kinds of denominations: one yuan, five jiao, two jiao, one jiao and half angle. It is a Chinese set of silver coins in yuan. In July 1903, it was proposed that silver coins should be made exclusively by the general mint, with Nanyang (Jiangnan), Beiyang, Guangdong and Hubei as branch factories. The silver coin is precious in material and high in artistic value. It is made of precious metal or silver alloy. It is exquisite in production, exquisite in design, elegant in writing, rich in content, brilliant in silver and beautiful in appearance.

Guangxu Yuanbao was first introduced by Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Guangdong and Guangdong provinces in Hubei Province, to cast silver and copper coins with British Mint machines, and then all provinces followed suit. A total of 19 provinces and bureaus cast copper coins, except for the central Hubu and local provinces, inscribed with the names of the provinces on the front. In 1793, "Qianlong treasure" silver coin was first cast in Tibet. From 1821 to 1850, Taiwan, Fujian and other places also imitated silver balls, called silver cakes. In 1890, Guangxu Yuanbao (Longyang) was officially cast, and many provinces followed suit. After the establishment of the silver standard currency system in the Republic of China, silver yuan was also used as the main currency. At that time, the "Guangxu Yuanbao" was cast by 19 provinces. There are: 1 Hubu; 2 Beiyang; 3 Jilin; 4 Fengtian; 5 Qingjiang; 6 Zhejiang; 7 Jiangnan; 8 Guangdong; 9 Shandong; 10 Fujian; 11 Hunan; 12 Hubei; 13 Sichuan; 14 Jiangxi; 15 Henan; 16 Anhui; 17 Guangxi; 18 Xinjiang; 19 Heilongjiang.

This piece of Guangxu Yuanbao made in Beiyang is a 34 year old edition. On the obverse side of the silver coin, the Chinese character "Guangxu Yuanbao" was engraved inside the central bead circle. On the outside of the bead circle, the Chinese character "made in Beiyang" was engraved on the upper end, and the currency value of "Kuping seven coins and two Fen" was engraved at the lower end, and a dot was engraved on the left and right ends respectively. On the back of the silver coin, a dragon is engraved in the middle, the upper ring is inscribed with "the 34th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu" in English, and the English word "Beiyang" is engraved on the lower side. A dot is engraved on the left and right ends of the coin. This Beiyang made Guangxu Yuanbao is well preserved, naturally coated, exquisitely made and of high quality. The characters are bulging, the strokes are round and deep. The regular script calligraphy is very dignified and grand, and the frame structure is balanced and extended. The dragon's design has a vivid and bright look. The Dragon scales are arranged in a fine and neat way, and the Pearl grains are not empty and sticky. The Dragon claws are open and vigorous. The edge teeth are standard, the ring teeth are convex, the particles are clear, and the floor seal is flat and smooth.

The collection is exquisite in appearance and unique in aesthetic personality. The blending of Manchu and Han culture can be seen on the front of coins, while the intervention of western culture is clearly indicated on the back of coins. It has a very high investment value and preservation value. It has the influence of pre history, is a high value innovation cultural relic, has a far-reaching historical significance; at the same time, it is still a valuable thing in Archaeology and research of China's pre history culture. It has the characteristics of money and silver in the Qing Dynasty. Because of its unstable situation, there are special money and silver forging factories in almost all provinces of the country. Therefore, we will find that the coins and silver of that era have obvious characters indicating which provincial Mint forged them.
