藏品描述

上海一两银币（有射线版），1867 年由香港造币厂试铸，正面绘龙纹、环书 “上海壹两” 汉字，背面镌英国皇室纹章及 “SHANGHAI ONE TAEL” 英文。因未获清廷认可未发行，存世极稀，是近代机制银币 “大珍”，兼具历史价值与收藏魅力。Shanghai One Tael Silver Coin (Radiating Lines Version). Struck as a trial coin by the Hong Kong Mint in 1867, the obverse of the coin features a dragon pattern with the Chinese characters "Shanghai Yi Liang" (Shanghai One Tael) inscribed in a circular arrangement around it. The reverse bears the British royal coat of arms and the English inscription "SHANGHAI ONE TAEL".As it failed to gain approval from the Qing government, the coin was never officially issued. With an extremely scarce survival quantity today, it is regarded as a "great treasure" among modern machine-struck silver coins, combining significant historical value with strong collectible appeal.
