In the 33rd year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu, Beiyang made seven coins and two Fen silver coins, which were coined by Beiyang silver yuan Bureau (formerly known as Beiyang Machinery Bureau) in 1907. 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 33rd 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. Guangxu Yuanbao was one of the currency in circulation during the reign of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty. A total of 19 provinces and bureaus cast copper coins, except the central Hubu and local provinces. It is one of the first batch of printing and distributing currency to introduce overseas technology, which also has a certain historical significance for today.
“光緒元寶”是中國早的機制幣，是中國近代機制幣中的十大名譽品之一，俗稱“龍洋”，因錢幣背面一般鑄有龍紋而得名。其具有重要的現實意義和歷史意義，且加上清末、民國戰亂連連等因素，一些較珍貴的光緒元寶銀元品種存世量已稀少，收藏價值高。許多收藏家對它趨之若鶩，爭相起價.北洋的銀元發展歷程映襯著中國晚清貨幣政策的進與退，每一次斷檔也燒錄著一次歷史的顛簸。瞭解造幣史和造幣廠的變遷過程，不僅可以理解銀元的歷史價值，同時也會對不同時期銀元的種類、成色、龍紋特徵、齒邊特徵等方面提高認知。
"Guangxu Yuanbao" is an early machine-made coin in China. It is one of the top ten honorary products in modern China. It is commonly known as "Longyang". It is named after the dragon pattern on the back of the coin. It has important practical and historical significance, and combined with the late Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China war and other factors, some of the more precious Guangxu silver varieties have been rare, the collection value is high. The development of Beiyang's 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. Understanding the history of coinage and the changing process of mints can not only help us understand the historical value of silver dollar, but also improve our understanding of the types, color, dragon pattern and tooth edge features of silver dollar in different periods.
據瞭解，錢幣收藏一般分為紙幣、金銀紀念幣和古錢幣三大類，而古錢幣中銀元一直是一大熱點。因為銀元材質珍貴，藝術價值高。北洋機器局初鑄銀元是在光緒十五年，面值僅“一元”一種，是天津官造的呈樣銀幣，未流通，直至光緒二十二年，始鑄流通銀幣。“大清光緒二十二年北洋機器局造”，面值有“一元”、“五角”、“兩角”、“一角”、“半型”五種。是中國套以元為組織的計值銀幣。西元1903年7月，提出銀幣專由造幣總廠製造，保留南洋（江南）、北洋、廣東、湖北四局為分廠。銀幣材質珍貴，藝術價值高，由貴重金屬或白銀合金鑄造，製作精美，圖案考究，文字清秀，
It is understood that the collection of coins 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. In the 22nd year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, Beiyang machinery bureau made it in five denominations: one yuan, five jiao, two jiao, one jiao and half type. It is a kind of Chinese silver coin with yuan as its organization. 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 branches. The silver coin is precious in material and of high artistic value. It is made of precious metal or silver alloy. It is exquisitely made, with exquisite patterns and elegant characters,

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 is a high value innovative cultural relic with far-reaching significance of commemoration of pre history.

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.

In the center is a picture of the dragon. The dragon is lifelike, with bright eyes and vivid shapes. When it is leaping, its posture is strong and powerful, and its claws are flapping. The dragon body is perched in the sun. It is full of royal majesty. It is also called "Pearl Dragon" because of its unique scales with dragon patterns on its back, such as inlaid pearls. As can be seen from the pictures, both the characters and the ornaments are very exquisite, with distinct convex and concave shapes.
