After more than ten years of cultivation, the coin auction market, represented by machine-made coins, finally shines. Even when compared with overseas markets, the current mainland market is not inferior. Collectors and investors have richer knowledge, broader vision, and profound changes in their concepts. They are more demanding on collections. Under the premise of being rare and rare, they value the perfect appearance and future value of collections. Guangxu Yuanbao is a major category of copper coin collections, which has always attracted the attention of many collectors. Different versions of Guangxu Yuanbao have unique charms and are worthy of deep appreciation. In particular, take the Beiyang-made Guangxu Ingot as an example. In online coin auctions, the Beiyang-made Guangxu Ingot is very popular and has become the focus of many buyers. Guangxu Yuanbao was one of the currencies in circulation during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, took the lead in introducing British coin minting machines to cast silver and copper dollars, and the provinces followed suit. There are nineteen provincial bureaus casting. Including: 1 household; 2 Beiyang; 3 Jilin; 4 Fengtian; 5 Qingjiang; 6 Zhejiang; 7 Jiangnan; 8 Guangdong; 9 Shandong; 10 Fujian; 11 Hunan; 12 Hubei; 13 Sichuan; 14 Jiangxi; 15 Henan; 16 Jiangsu; 17 Anhui; 18 Yunnan; 19 Xinjiang; 20 Heilongjiang.

It is paved into the bone, mature and natural, the font is handsome and neat, the circulation traces are obvious, the edges are clear, the coin has a unique aesthetic style, and the fusion of Manchu and Han culture is rarely seen on the front. Chinese characters are cast in the central bead circle. The four characters "Guangxu Yuanbao", the upper part of the bead ring is cast in Manchu, the lower part is cast in the Chinese currency value of "Ten Wen for making money", the left and the right are cast with "Beiyang", and the left and the right are decorated with a small flower; the back clearly indicates the intervention of Western culture. The figure of the beauy dragon, the figure is strong, the beard can be seen, the dragon scales are clear, and the upper and lower parts are cast in English. Has extremely high investment value and collection value. The collection value of coins is closely related or in direct proportion to the historical significance of their background. The value of the historical significance of the coin is large, the value of the collection is also great. The treasure of the same coin determines its collection value. The smaller the number of coins, the higher the value. As a non-renewable material, the historical value of ancient coins depends on the value orientation of specific people in a specific period. In addition, the historical culture represented by ancient coins reflects to a certain extent the level, self-cultivation and style of collectors, so they are favored by many successful people, which in turn promotes the rise in prices of ancient coins. In particular, the Guangxu Yuanbao made by Beiyang has been extremely popular in the recent coin market, and the price has been rising steadily.
