Hello the thank invites. The silver of the emission of the Republic of China of clear minor details has a few kinds of weight, it is respectively 9, 7 money 2 cent, 3 money four li, seven li mix 6 cent, one money three li, current par value divides corresponding international 9 without the accident, other weight has corresponding par value, part 2 minutes below from 7 money corresponding is a yuan, 5 horn, 2 horn, one horn, 5 minutes. This shows, 7 money are in 2 minutes of correspondence of clear minor details is at that time international standard the weight of a yuan of silver, perhaps saying 7 money 2 minutes is international the weight of a yuan of silver, 26.8 grams control amount to.
Be in early 19 centuries middle period, as the west progressively and colonial southern Asia is mixed southeast Asia, the colony silver of these places enters China as line of Chinese maritime trade. Subsequently country the door is prepared Chinese medicine by roasting it in a pan open by firm boat benefit, the silver dollar that more many Mexican eagle ocean and flower law colony pass through shared maritime trade, enter Chinese market thereby. These are inchoate the silver that enters China has Mexican eagle ocean, England east the station person of Indian company a yuan of silver, Hong Kong a yuan, of French colony sit ocean.
Because these silver dollar make elegant, weight sufficient, quality is stabilized and get Chinese business civilian favour, accept very quickly for the market, squash greatly the market share of official coin and forge silver and sycee, shook clear government is right the monetary monopoly of the market. Below this kind of circumstance, some province are opposite to boycott ab extra silver dollar the race to control of the market, take the lead in casting mechanism silver dollar, for instance Jilin factory makes the same score a shoe-shaped gold or silver ingot used as money in feudal China of smooth mood of silver dollar, Guangdong 73 instead edition.
Be in early 1868, japan is opposite to boycott ab extra silver dollar of native market erode, be in bright treated 3 years to cast Japanese Long Yang, this kind of Long Yang contains silver-colored amount extremely tall, be in 95 into above. But Japanese dragon ocean fails in the engage in a battle that follows ab extra silver dollar, roll out Japanese dragon foreign gold coin again, bring about money of Japanese dragon albata to cannot be popularized more, spend money of albata of dragon of 2 million yuan of Japan toward China then, let monetary market one disaster after another of China.
Below this kind of circumstance, clear government just is determined to let the Ministry of Revenue in feudal China cast his silver and schilling. The style of ocean of dragon of smooth mood a shoe-shaped gold or silver ingot used as money in feudal China that casts Guangdong is popularized in the whole nation, the silver that forms oneself secures a style. The Ministry of Revenue in feudal China also prepares to carry out smooth mood a shoe-shaped gold or silver ingot used as money in feudal China 9 He Daqing silver 9 silver, but as a result of the 9 7 money that follow to pass through domestic and internationally 2 minutes of inconvenience tell exchange, so 9 silver did not get admissive in clear minor details, did not issue.
Say so, no matter be clear minor details or the Republic of China, the standard weight of a yuan of silver is 7 money 2 minutes, 27 grams control the 26 ～ that the reference standard of this weight comes from foreign silver dollar, this standard already became formulary in clear minor details, the Republic of China is continue to use only this weight standard just.
