清代銀幣、紙鈔、銅幣並行，至嘉慶年間發行新式銀元，而光緒年間鑄行金、銀幣更多。洋務運動也影響到鑄幣業，兩廣總督張之洞曾於光緒十三年（1887年）委託使英大臣在英國訂購全套造幣機器，並在廣東錢局首鑄機制銀元和銅元。其後，各省紛紛仿效，購制國外機械鑄造銀、銅元。包括廣東錢局在內，許多造幣機均訂購自著名的英國倫敦伯明翰造幣有限公司。英國大工業的介入，使銀幣也沾染上西方色彩。錢幣正面顯然可見滿漢文化的融合，而錢背卻明確標示了西方文化的介入。
清末銅價劇漲，民間毀錢為銅，以獲數倍之利，市面出現錢荒。廣東因停鑄制錢，市面制錢日乏，小額流通十分不便。為救錢荒，同時受香港銅元及外幣影響，光緒26年6月，兩廣總督德壽與前總督李鴻章奏準廣東仿香港銅仙鑄造機制銅元。故清代機制銅元的鑄造由廣東伊始。繼而福建、江蘇、四川等省相繼仿鑄銅元。
一直以來，中國人都有存儲錢幣的習慣，有的可能是為了投資，有的可能就是單純的喜歡，有的則是為了蓋房子。眾所周知，古人建房子，都會在房樑上懸掛一串銅錢，表達對興旺發家的一種美好祝福。如今，大家使用的都是紙幣，沒有以往的錢幣，但並不妨礙眾人收藏錢幣。再者，古錢幣有一個熱點就是珍貴、價值高，有的單枚就能賣到幾百萬的價格，這對於某些人來說，無疑是一個很好的投資機會。

光緒元寶”在貨幣收藏界被稱為銀元之寶，是結合了滿漢文化的產物，因為當時清朝是滿洲人在統治天下，所以光緒元寶也結合了一些滿人的文化因素。它是中國近千種近代銀幣中影響最大的銀元品種，也是近代中國幣制變革中的一個重要角色。由於它是實物貨幣，介於人們對貴金屬的認可，以及對歷史文化強烈的認同感，因此收藏的人不在少數。民間藏友手中只要收集一枚就具有較高的“身價”，其存世量稀少，因而在價值上也顯得更為貴重
這枚錢幣包漿自然，底光柔和，所謂包漿是自然形成的氧化層，也有認為手盤包漿，兩者不同，但同時都有保護錢幣的功能，有如給錢幣鍍上一層保護膜，是錢幣不再氧化，便於收藏傳世，如果覺得錢幣髒，可以用清水洗，再用棉布擦乾，不要破壞包漿，破壞了包漿就相當於破壞了保護層，更重要的是包漿是鑑定新老錢幣最簡單有效的方法。細看這枚錢幣品相完美，沒有磕缺，損毀，變形等是不可多的收藏級銅幣，建議收藏，傳世。
英文翻譯：In the qing dynasty, silver COINS, banknotes and copper COINS were issued in parallel. In the reign of emperor jiaqing, new silver COINS were issued, while in the reign of emperor guangxu, more gold and silver COINS were minted. The westernization movement also affected the coin industry. In 1887, zhang zhidong, governor of guangdong and guangdong province, commissioned British ministers to order a complete set of mint machines in Britain and first cast silver and copper yuan in the guangdong money bureau. Later, the provinces followed suit and bought foreign machinery to cast silver and copper dollars. Many mint machines, including the guangdong money bureau, are ordered from the famous London Birmingham mint co., LTD.
