藏品简介：

银锭是熔铸成锭的白银。清代实行银钱平行本位制度，规定制钱一千文准银一两。银两是法定通货，不仅民间交易收藏使用，官府收纳地丁捐税也使用。鸦片战争后，外国洋银（见银元）大量流入和自铸银元流行，并没有根本改变或取代银两制度的地位。在对外贸易的金融调度上和在与英镑比价的变化上，都符合外国资本的需要。银两成为流通货币只是明清两代对外贸易活跃，外国白银大量涌入以后的事。中国用银作货币的历史由来已久，清代是中国银锭铸造和发展的鼎盛时期，由于地域不同，铸造工艺流程不同，各地银锭的器型各异、通体褐色包浆，保存完好，极为珍罕，，具有很高观赏和价值

Collection introduction:

Silver ingot is silver melted into ingot. In the Qing Dynasty, the parallel standard system of silver and money was implemented, which stipulated that one or two thousand yuan and one or two silver coins should be made. Silver is legal currency. It is not only collected and used by private transactions, but also used by government to collect local taxes. After the Opium War, a large number of foreign foreign silver (see silver dollar) flowed in and self cast silver dollar became popular, which did not fundamentally change or replace the status of the silver system. In terms of the financial regulation of foreign trade and the change of the price comparison with the pound, it meets the needs of foreign capital. Silver became the currency of circulation only in the Ming and Qing Dynasties when foreign trade was active and a large number of foreign silver came into China. China has a long history of using silver as currency. The Qing Dynasty was the peak period of China's silver ingot casting and development. Due to different regions and casting processes, the silver ingots in different parts of China had different types of implements and brown paste, which were well preserved and extremely rare, with high ornamental and value.
