拍品描述： 光绪三十年湖北省造大清银币库平双龙壹两银币。 (t) CHINA. Hupeh. Tael, Year 30 (1904). Wuchang Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS MS-62. 小字版，短暂发行系列，与普通的壹圆相比，重量多百分之四十。历来被老一辈藏家奉为收藏进阶之关键品种，优美动人，细节锐利毕现，原光四射，底板无瑕，间见艳丽金色包浆若隐若现。纳入藏中不可多得的良机。 包括大小字两种的湖北一两制作额仅 648,000 枚，两版各别的数量不明，但大字版非常的稀少。湖北一两是按照中国传统计重单位的银两制度进行，而非以圆为单位。原来的计划也有五钱、二钱及一钱等面值，然而并未出现过，由连样币形式的也未曾得见来看，应是从未制作过。在实际使用时，民众发现两种制度间的兑换十分複杂，尤其是在找零钱的时候。 L&M-180; K-933; KM-Y-128.2; WS-0878. Small characters variety. Emanating from a short-lived series, this shimmering crown, representing an increase of just over 40% compared to the other circulating crown-sized issue within the empire (the 7 Mace 2 Candareens [Dollar]) , stands as a lofty and eminently desirable issue no matter the state of preservation. When encountered so alluring and beautiful, as in the case of the present specimen , the focus and zeal surrounding its changing of hands becomes even more extreme. Crisp and elegant, with a tantalizing argent nature and radiant mint luster, along with burnished golden notes sprinkled enchantingly throughout its problem-free fields. An EXTREMELY RARE and exceedingly important opportunity. 648,000 Hupeh Taels were originally minted, inclusive of both large and small character types; however, it is unknown exactly how many of each were struck. This Tael was introduced as part of a projected coinage reform based upon the traditional Chinese weight standard, rather than the Dollar system. In the initial proposal to produce these coins, it was also suggested to produce smaller denominations in the values of 1, 2, and 5 Mace. However, no such pieces have surfaced (even in pattern form), and it is unlikely that they were ever produced. The general populace found it complicated to convert two distinctly different coinage systems, especially when making change.
