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 Genuine--Repaired, EF Details. 小字版。版式稀罕，壹两发行，广受追捧的一枚，藏家的性价比之选。柔美包浆，图文间色泽变深，中等流通，定为藏匣添光溢彩。 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. Given the absolute RARITY and immense desirability of this larger-weight crown issue, the present specimen offers a tremendous opportunity at a much more attainable level. Pleasingly toned and with a darker nature accentuating the devices, this moderately circulated example will have no shortage of collectors quite happily seeking to add it to their cabinet. 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.
