藏品描述

虽然江南省造银币与广东、湖北、四川、吉林等省生产机制银币一样都是清末国家法定流通货币。但与广东等省不同的是江南省在当时并无建制，这是银元机制史上一种难以理解的现象。也许正是因为如此，江南省造光绪元宝才倍受藏家的欢迎。清代的江南省前身是明朝的南直隶江南省，范围大致相当于今天的江苏省、上海市和安徽省。

康熙六年(1667年)清廷撤江南省，分设江苏和安徽两个省。南京造币厂将其铸造的银币标明"江南省造"，是因为当时苏州已经有一个专铸机制铜元的造币厂，其铸造的铜元均标明"江苏省造"。为避免混淆，南京造币厂将其铸造的银币标明"江南省造"。系我国货币史上有名无实的省份银币，所以目前存世量非常稀少，具有收藏价值。

Description：
Although the silver coins made in Jiangnan Province, like the silver coins produced in Guangdong, Hubei, Sichuan, Jilin and other provinces, were the national legal currency in circulation at the end of the Qing Dynasty. However, unlike Guangdong and other provinces, Jiangnan province did not have an organizational system at that time, which is an incomprehensible phenomenon in the history of the silver dollar mechanism. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the Guangxu Yuanbao made in Jiangnan province is welcomed by collectors. The predecessor of Jiangnan Province in the Qing Dynasty (1616 - 1911) was the Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1911), which was directly under the jurisdiction of Jiangnan province. The scope of Jiangnan province is roughly equivalent to today's Jiangsu Province, Shanghai city and Anhui Province. In the 6th year of Kangxi (1667), the Qing government withdrew Jiangnan province and divided it into Jiangsu and Anhui provinces. The Nanjing Mint marked its silver coins as "made in Jiangnan province" because at that time, Suzhou had a mint dedicated to casting machine-made copper coins, and all the copper coins were marked as "made in Jiangsu Province". In order to avoid confusion, the Nanjing Mint marked its silver coins as "made in Jiangnan province". It is a nominal provincial silver coin in the currency history of China. Therefore, at present, there are very few. Have collection value
