江南省造戊戌年光绪元宝(1898年)库平七钱二分银币(大英文珍珠龙长刺),系光绪二十四年(1898年)官铸公开发行的机制银币.江南省（南京），是我国重要的通商口岸之一。清代时期，随着对外贸易的日益发展，对银币的需求量也就逐年增加，外国银元逐渐占领了中国的流通市场。广东和湖北最初开始铸造银元的时候，江苏省每年要拨银两给湖北省，兑换湖北银元流通使用。两江总督刘珅一于光绪22年（1896年）上奏朝廷，请求开铸银元。批准后在南京建造造币厂。光绪23年（1897年），开始铸造江南省光绪元宝银币，江南省银元分为若干干支年银元，版别也是中国银元最多的。本品传世包浆,美品。光绪元宝是清朝光绪年间流通的货币之一。由湖北两广总督张之洞率先引进英国铸币机器铸造银元和铜元，之后各省纷纷仿效。

Jiangnan Province made the silver coin of Kuping seven coins and two cents (big English pearl dragon long thorn), the first treasure of Guangxu in 1898, which was officially minted and publicly issued in the 24th year of Guangxu (1898). Jiangnan Province (Nanjing) is one of China's important trading ports. During the Qing Dynasty, with the increasing development of foreign trade, the demand for silver coins increased year by year, and foreign silver coins gradually occupied China's circulation market. When Guangdong and Hubei first began to cast silver coins, Jiangsu Province allocated two silver coins to Hubei Province every year to exchange for Hubei silver coins for circulation. Liu Shenyi, the governor of Liangjiang, played at the court in the 22nd year of Guangxu (1896) and asked for silver coins. After approval, a mint was built in Nanjing. In the 23rd year of Guangxu (1897), the silver coins of Guangxu in Jiangnan Province were minted. The silver coins of Jiangnan Province were divided into several silver coins of Ganzhi years, and the edition was also the largest in China. This product has been handed down for a long time. Guangxu Yuanbao is one of the currencies in circulation during the reign of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty. Zhang Zhidong, governor of Hubei Province and Guangdong Province, took the lead in introducing the British coinage machine to cast silver and copper coins, and later provinces followed suit.

The silver coin with seven coins and two cents of the Guangxu Yuanbao of the Wuxu Movement in Jiangnan is the first silver coin with the Ganzhi era engraved on the Guangxu Yuanbao made in Jiangnan Province. There are two types of silver coins, big English and small English on the back. The old dragon on the back of the two types of silver coins is different. The central bead circle on the front of the silver coin is inscribed with the four characters "Guangxu Yuanbao" in Chinese, the upper end of the circle is inscribed with the words "made in Jiangnan Province" (there are few central points in Manchu and long inner teeth), the lower end is inscribed with the words "Kuping seven coins and two cents", and the left and right sides are inscribed with the words "Wuxu" for the Ganzhi chronology (the other version of Wuxu is rare). The silver coin is engraved with a pearl dragon in the middle of the back (with concave and convex eyes), the English "Jiangnan Province" on the upper end, and the English coin weight "Kuping Seven Coins and Two Fens" on the lower end. The font has large and small English versions. This is the basic feature of the silver coin of Kuping Seven Coins and Two Fens, the treasure of the Wuxu Reign in Jiangnan. This coin has a small number of surviving in the world, so it is also a favorite collection of many collectors because of its unique scales with dragon patterns on the back, such as pearl inlay, So it was nicknamed "Pearl Dragon" version. As can be seen from the pictures, both the characters and the decorative patterns are very exquisite, with sharp convexity and concavity. The strokes and decorative lines of the characters are round and round, which shows that the stamping force of the mold is deep, making its product extremely beautiful, and its technological level is also beyond the reach of the forgery up to now. Like a coin made in Jiangnan Province, Guangxu Yuanbao, Pingqidi, is now very rare in the market, and the wrapped paste is natural and simple, with good appearance and great collection value!
