铜币，学名清代机制铜圆，钱面中央有“大清铜币”四个汉字，内嵌一小字代表地名，上端是满文“大清铜币”字样，两侧为年份。边缘中间分别“户部”二汉字，下端为“当制钱十文”。钱背中央为蟠龙，上端是“光绪(或宣统)年造”，下端英文“Tai-Ching Ti-Kuo Copper Coin”字样(大清帝国铜币)。
各地铸造比较统一。铸造始于1900年（清光绪二十六年），止于1911年（宣统三年），流通时间较短。因其版面设计优雅，雕刻精良，且存世量极为稀少，大清铜币光绪年户部造当十被誉为中国近代制币中的十大名誉品之一。
 
大清铜币版式繁多，尤以当十者为最。多位清帝在位时发行过铜币来作为流通货币，铜币的使用具有重要的现实意义和历史意义，使交易逐渐便利起来。而如今，大清铜币也具有一定的收藏价值，许多收藏家对大清铜币爱不释手，而收集多种多样的铜币已经成为了他们的目标。
英文翻译：Copper coins of the Qing Dynasty, the scientific name of the mechanism of the Qing Dynasty, have four Chinese characters in the center of the coin face, embedding a small character to represent the place name, the top of which is the Manchu word "Copper coins of the Qing Dynasty", with the year on both sides. In the middle of the edge, there are two Chinese characters "Hubu". At the bottom, there are ten Chinese characters "Dangqian". The central part of Qianbei is Panlong, the upper part is "Guangxu (or Xuantong) years", and the lower part is "Tai-Ching Ti-Kuo Copper Coin" (Qing Empire Copper Coin).
Foundry in all parts of the country is relatively uniform. Foundry began in 1900 (26 years of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty) and ended in 1911 (three years of Xuantong), with a relatively short circulation time. Because of its elegant layout, exquisite sculpture and extremely scarce stock, the Guangxunian household office of the Great Qing Dynasty copper coin was praised as one of the ten most famous products in modern Chinese coinage.
