光绪元宝是大清光绪年间流通大面值货币之首，是我国首批引进海外技术的印发流通货币。由湖北两广总督张之洞率先引进英国铸币机器铸造银元铜元，之后各省纷纷效仿。共有十九个省局铸造，除中央户部，地方省所铸铜元，皆在其正面上缘镌写省名，对于现今也蕴藏了一定历史意义。

此藏品为广东省造光绪元宝铜元，铜币重6.92g，直径2.7cm，厚 0.13 ~ 0.15cm 左右，正面中央珠圈内镌“光绪元宝”四个字，上环为“广东省造”，下方是币值“每元当制钱十文”，中间为满文“宝广”；

背面外上环是“KWANG-TUNG”，下环是币值“TEN CASH”。中心是腾龙图，腾龙纹路清晰，惟妙惟肖，眼睛炯炯有神，栩栩如生，形似腾跃之际，身姿遒劲有力，龙爪张扬，龙身盘踞太阳，并有云海衬托，煜煜生辉，尽显皇家威风大气。

铜币铸字清晰，图案表面均依势圆润凸起、错落有致，包浆醇厚，流通痕迹自然，美得动人心魄。

此铜元还有最重要的两点:一是该币几乎每一笔笔画中以及纹饰中均添加了迄今难以模仿的暗记。二是背面盘龙龙眼内有两颗清晰的内视龙睛，简直就是最优秀的盘龙浮雕作品。具有极高的观赏价值，收藏价值。
