1900年庚子京局制造光绪元宝库平七钱二分银币一枚,原模后铸版,因京局毁于“庚子之乱”,原铸版未发行,七钱二分主币,除雕刻师在英国制作的二枚光边样币之外,存世均为后铸版,所见寥寥无几;拍品模具雕刻精美,打模深峻,版底平整,龙图别具一格,币面满银光,品相完美。
“京局”庚子系列银币是中国近代机制币中的珍罕品,全套共五枚,面值分别为七钱二分、三钱六分、一钱四分四厘、七分二厘、三分六厘。光绪二十五年(1899年),庆亲王奕劻请求会同户部在京师试办造币厂制造银圆,上奏获准,定名“京都制造银圆局”,简称“京局”,于1900年3月向英国伯明翰造币厂订购蒸汽机、轧片机、车床、印花机等杂项设备,定于该年8月6日前交运。1900年,义和团烽火燎原并波及北京,6月22日,京局在义和团攻打附近的奥地利使馆时毁于战火。有资料记载,京局并没有正式运行,只试铸了很少量的贰角及壹角样币。
战火中,有工人抢救出除“一角”钢模以外的四套钢模,后售予收藏家方药雨,民国年间又转让给上海收藏家陈仁涛,其间,模具曾借给上海币商王守谦私制数套,于是京局银币有了原铸和后铸版之分。目前已知京局银币的存世量:雕刻师在伦敦工作坊制作的光边版样币,全套五种面额,存世二套;京局原铸版,存世仅有“二角”和“一角”二种,数量各十枚左右;后铸版,估计制作了十至十五套,“二角”数量可能稍低于此。由此可见,无论是何种版别的京局银币,均为难得的罕见珍品。
京局银币最早见著于王守谦在1935年印行的《中国稀见币参考书》,仅载有贰角和壹角二种;耿爱德1954年出版之《中国币图说汇考》内载有全套五枚,但说明其华籍同好表示仅贰角和壹角是京局原厂出品,其余为“某上海藏家”私制;早期泉谱如蒋仲川、施嘉幹的著述中,都只收录有贰角及壹角样币也正因为此。京局连同相关档案毁于庚子之乱,扑朔迷离的身世,使其成为最具传奇色彩的中国机制银币之一。—参阅孙浩编著《百年银圆》,上海科学技术出版社,2012年,页69-72。
