光绪三十年湖北省造大清银币库平一两。小字版。珍罕版别,原始币面,细节纤毫毕现。字面底部略有複打。浓郁的深灰色包浆,底板略现银色。整体而言品相上乘,位属一流集藏。包括大小字两种的湖北一两制作额仅648,000枚,两版各自具体数量不明。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。原来亦有计画推出五钱、二钱及一钱等面值。然而这些钱币并未出现过,由连样币形式的也未曾得见,或是从未投入制作。在实际使用时,民众发现两种制度间的兑换十分複杂,找零钱的时候尤甚。大英博物馆藏有一枚湖北一两,是用来找零的证据。馆藏的该枚为MS品相,从钱币中裁出的大饼形。裁切形状类似Joe Cribb著《汇丰银行钱币集藏》第141页、图4.10。湖北一两流通的时间很短,随即退出流通。虽然湖北一两的制额颇多,大多数被回炉熔化改制成其他钱币。有趣的是湖北一两银币的成色是0.877而非1905年(光绪三十一年)制定一两银币章程时的含银0.960。

CHINA. Hupeh. Tael, Year 30 (1904). PCGS AU-55 Gold Shield.L&M-180; K-933; KM-Y-128.2; WS-0878. Small Characters variety. An attractive SCARCE specimen with immaculate, original surfaces, needle sharp strike details, and a slight strike doubling on the base of the characters side. The toning is a rich dark gray, speckled with lighter silver tint though some of the protected areas. Overall a coin with significant eye appeal that belongs in a top-notch collection.Originally 648,000 Hupeh Taels were minted, this includes both large and small character types; however, it is unknown exactly how many of each were struck. The Hupeh Tael was introduced as part of a projected coinage reform based on 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 they were ever produced. The general populace found it complicated to convert two distinctly different coinage systems, especially when making change. A Hupeh Tael housed in the British museum supports this by showing evidence of cutting to make change. The British museum specimen is essentially mint state with a large pie shape section cut from the coin. The cut is in a similar manner to the "broken dollars" picture on pg. 121 figure 4.10 of Joe Cribbs reference Money in the Bank. This short lived series circulated for only a brief period and was soon after replaced by the unified Tai Ching Ti Kuo silver coinage. Although the Hupeh Tael coinage has a fairly large mintage, most were likely melted down to be made into later coinage. It is interesting to note that the Hupeh Taels were struck in 0.877 fine silver, as opposed to the 0.960 fine silver set forth by the currency regulations of 1905.
