此钱币正面珠圈内是汉文“光绪元宝”四字、中心有阴阳图,圈外上环“吉林省造”,下环“库平三钱六分”,左右为“乙巳”。钱币背面的中心是蟠龙图,上下为英文,左右各一满文,整体币面雕刻清晰,铸造工艺比较精美。
吉林省造银币中有有纪年与无纪年之分。这枚是有纪年的,正面中央图案是阴阳图。在吉林省龙里面,中央图案是花篮的比较常见。花篮中的植物是万年青,通常寓意四季常青,有讨个吉利的说法;也有可能是借谐音,寓意大清朝的统治能持续万年。这枚是太极图,也叫阴阳图,是取阴阳调和的和谐之意。吉林银元中阴阳图的相比花篮来说,是比较少见的,它的价值也要比花篮的高。
由于吉林地处偏远地区,它特殊的地理位置有着特殊的意义,而且与众多的龙洋相比,吉林银元上的图案更加别致,是一个别致的收藏品种。再加吉林省龙生产的数量并不多,所以在市场上的数量也比较稀缺,故有极高的收藏价值。
On the obverse side of this coin, the four characters "Guangxu Yuanbao" in Chinese are inscribed within the bead circle, with a yin-yang diagram in the center. The upper ring outside the circle is "Made in Jilin Province", the lower ring is "Kuping Three Coins and Six Fens", and the left and right sides are "Yisi". The center of the reverse of the coin is a coiled dragon, with English characters on the top and bottom, and Manchu characters on each side. The overall surface of the coin is clearly carved, and the casting process is quite exquisite.
There is a distinction between chronological and non chronological silver coins in Jilin Province. This one has a chronology, and the central pattern on the front is a yin and yang diagram. In Jilin Province, the central pattern of the dragon is a common flower basket. The plants in the flower basket are evergreen, usually symbolizing evergreen throughout the four seasons, and there is a saying for seeking good luck; It is also possible to borrow homophones, implying that the rule of the Qing Dynasty could last for thousands of years. This is a Tai Chi diagram, also known as the Yin Yang diagram, which represents the harmony between yin and yang. Compared to flower baskets, the Yin Yang diagram in Jilin Silver Yuan is relatively rare, and its value is also higher.
Due to its remote location in Jilin, its unique geographical location holds special significance, and compared to many other dragon coins, the patterns on Jilin silver coins are more unique, making it a unique collection variety. In addition, the quantity of dragon production in Jilin Province is not large, so the quantity in the market is also relatively scarce, so it has extremely high collection value.
