Gold coinage edit
During the later years of the Manchu Qing dynasty, the coinage system was scattered with central government-made coins, local coins and some foreign currencies circulating together in the private sector of China, resulting in a great deal of currency confusion, this has made both fiscal and financial management in China quite difficult. In an attempt to bring order to this chaos some people such as Chen Zhi started advocating for China to place its currency on the gold standard.[1] In the year Guangxu 30 (1904) the Ministry of Revenue created a concrete implementation for the manufacture of gold coins,[2] while in 1905 the government of the Qing dynasty reformed the currency system to allow for gold coins, these would be cast by the Tianjin General Mint operated by the Ministry of Revenue with the inscription Da Qing Jinbi (大清金幣), only a small number of trial coins with this inscription were ever cast that were not meant for general circulation as the gold reserves of the Qing dynasty proved insufficient. These coins weighed 1 Kuping Tael and were cast in the years Guangxu 32 (1906) and Guangxu 33 (1907) and featured a design of a Chinese dragon on one side and the inscription on the other with the year of casting shown in Chinese cyclical years.[3][4]

Casting History [Edit] At the late Qing Dynasty, scattered coins, central coins, local coins and some foreign currencies in the mixed circulation of the private sector, resulting in currency confusion, to financial and financial management has brought great difficulties. In order to rectify the currency, some people have advocated a change to the gold standard, such as the Chen Zhi pays in the "general Golden Pound said" mentioned that "want to receive rights holders, want to Xing business, non-homemade money can not." Guangxu 30 years (1904), Hubu put forward the concrete implementation method of casting gold coins [2]. The following year (1905), the Qing government awarded the discretionary charter of the Rectification Method, which aims to rectify and reform the currency issuance system, and stipulated that "the currency of the three products made, that is, the text of the Qing gold coins, the Qing coins, the Qing coin, the world, to return to all", and set up directly under the central jurisdiction of the Guangxu 32 years (1906), Hubu Tianjin Mint General Factory trial casting "Qing gold coins." After the Qing government's gold reserves are insufficient and the gold standard is not set, the Qing gold coins only trial production of a very small number, not issued circulation, the world only only C noon, Ding Year number sample coin.
