清朝咸丰皇帝被史学家评为“无才能，无作为，无远见，无胆识等“四无”皇帝，但不可否认的是，咸丰朝铸造的咸丰大钱是非常精美的，现在收藏爱好者仍然对之“津津乐道”，被收藏界誉为“清钱之王”！

据资料记载：清朝咸丰年间（1851-1861年），太平天国农民起义发展迅猛，并在江苏南京建都，此时清政府赖以铸钱之用的滇铜（云南省出产的铜料），因道路阻断而无法运进北京。

一方面是镇压起义急需大量的军饷开销，一方面是铸钱的原材料告缺，给清政府造成了严重的财政困难，最终迫使清政府自咸丰三年开始发行纸币和改铸大钱来弥补财政亏空！

“咸丰元宝”当百隶属于咸丰大钱之一，铸造年份是咸丰三年和咸丰四年，铸造材质有青铜、黄铜、红铜、特、锡、铅等，铸造地包括中央造币厂和新增的宝德局，宝苏局，喀什局，捐铜局等累计二十四局。

 

藏品名称：“咸丰元宝”阿克苏局

 

经典古代钱币之一：“咸丰元宝当百”。面文“咸丰元宝”为楷书，背穿上“当”，穿下“百”楷书，穿孔左右代表阿克苏满文。“当百”铜质精美，钱面文字雕工精湛、字口深峻，如斧削刀切，钱文愉快，富有神韵！

 

铜币正面圆形方孔，其形状外发天，内地法，取义精宏。观其图，造型圆润端庄，字迹清晰深俊，包浆浑厚温润，是难得一见之收藏佳品！

故有“咸丰钱”是中国古钱币的一朵奇葩之说！其精美绝伦，被泉学名家孙仲汇先生誉为“清钱之王”，极具欣赏价值。且对研究中国乃至世界铸币史和金融史具有非常特殊的意义。
