光绪三十年湖北省造大清银币库平壹两银币。 小字版,迷人的<strong>珍罕</strong>版别。光泽不俗,均匀一致的浅灰色包浆点缀两面。留痕极轻微,与评级相符,并不碍眼。正面中央下方有一深色条纹,是原始坯饼的变色,而非影响评级的伤痕。品相完好,人气版别,定能引起激烈竞争。包括大小字两种的湖北一两制作额仅 648,000 枚,两版各自的数量不明,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。原来计划中亦打算生产有五钱、二钱及一钱等面值。然而该批钱币并未面世,就连连样币形式也不得见,应是从来未曾投入制作。在实际使用时,民众发现两种制度间的兑换十分複杂,找零的时候尤甚。大英博物馆藏有一枚经过切割的湖北一两,是用来找零的证据。该枚基本上是未流通状态,被切割一大部份形式如同克力布所著的《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,大多数被回炉溶化改成其他钱币。有趣的是湖北一两成色是 0.877,与 1905 年(光绪三十一年)制定一两银币章程时的含银 0.960 不符。 (t)

CHINA. Hupeh. Tael, Year 30 (1904). PCGS MS-61. L&M-180; K-933; KM-Y-128.2; WS-0878. Small Characters variety. An attractive and <strong>SCARCE</strong> dollar, with decent luster and offering an even, consistent light gray tone on both sides. A few minor marks as would be expected for the grade, but nothing of real significance to distract from the overall pleasing look of the coin. One notable dark streak just south of the obverse center is actually a discoloration in the original planchet and not a mark that would hurt the grade. This is a wholesome and pleasant example of a wildly popular type that is sure to generate great bidder interest.<p><em>

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.</em><p>
