历代以来，中国都把钱币作为商品交易或者买卖的交换工具，它不仅具有较为广泛的使用价值，而且还随着时间的久远，呈现出较高的收藏价值和考据价值。从钱币的铸造材料、钱面上的纹饰、面额等内容，我们可以了解到当时政治、经济、历史、文化、艺术以及科技等很多方面的知识，如今，这些不再有等价兑换功能的钱币成为收藏市场的宠儿，备受收藏家追捧。

根据钱币的面值，高于当五十计值称为“咸丰元宝”，当五十及以下计值称为“咸丰重宝”。其中咸丰重宝当五十钱由于铸造时间早，流通区域广，是自古以来古泉爱好者最关心并致力于收藏和欣赏的计值钱币。

此枚“咸丰重宝”宝苏局当五十铜钱。正面铸“咸丰重宝”楷体四字自上而下，从右到左直读；背面书汉文“当五十”及满文。此钱币十分精美，字迹清晰深俊，铜材优良，呈浅红黄色，钱文精美，没一丝一毫拖泥带水,比同版流通的钱稍大些，厚重些。

古钱币的收藏价值是存世量、文化价值、铸造工艺来决定的。当今世上最为稀少的莫过于是“咸丰重宝当五十”其中被誉为迷之钱币，相当难觅，因为该款钱币至今已有数百年了，被遗传下来的并不多，而且精品的，更是凤毛麟角的存在，又因清代以来经历了多场战争，珍稀古钱币损失严重，至今数量已经极其有限。千百年来，古钱币历经沧桑，存世数量越来越少，致其投资价值日益升高，近十年来，古钱币市场行情一路走高。
