藏品描述

此为大清铜币當制銭十文，钱币以红铜为坯，制作精良，钱币上的图文深峻精美，自然包浆且醇厚。钱币中心以阴文铸“甯”，珠圈内铸“大清铜币”四字，珠圈外左右有“户部”两字，上缘铸满文及干支编年“丙午”，下缘铸“当制钱十文”，币面整体布局严谨，文字规整有力，笔画粗细均匀，展现出当时严谨的铸币工艺。反面中央为蟠龙图画设计高雅，镌刻优异，龙纹外铸有珠圈，故又名珠圈龙，外环英文和“光绪年造”字样。This is a Qing Dynasty Copper Coin denominated as "当制钱十文" (Equivalent to Ten Cash Coins). The coin is made from a red copper blank with exquisite craftsmanship—the patterns and inscriptions on the coin are deep and fine, and it has a natural, rich patina. In the center of the coin, the Chinese character "甯" (abbreviation for Nanjing, indicating the mint location) is cast in intaglio. Inside the beaded circle, the four characters "大清铜币" (Qing Dynasty Copper Coin) are inscribed; outside the beaded circle, the two characters "户部" (Hubu, the Ministry of Revenue in Qing Dynasty) are placed on the left and right. The upper edge is engraved with Manchu script and the cyclical year "丙午" (Bingwu Year), while the lower edge is inscribed with "当制钱十文" (Equivalent to Ten Cash Coins). The overall layout of the obverse is rigorous, with neat and forceful inscriptions and evenly thick strokes, demonstrating the meticulous coin-casting technology of that era. On the reverse, the central design is a coiling dragon with elegant craftsmanship and excellent engraving. Since there is a beaded circle surrounding the dragon pattern, this type of coin is also known as "珠圈龙" (Beaded Circle Dragon). The outer ring features English inscriptions and the Chinese characters "光绪年造" (Made in the Guangxu Reign).
