这枚明代的崇祯通宝，为圆形方孔铜质钱币，大小正确，钱币正面“崇祯通宝”四字隶书对读，字体端庄工整，笔画圆润饱满，挺拔俊秀，此币背寿字，穿孔干净，钱币整洁，古朴方正，法度固定，严谨庄重，绿锈包浆自然古老，此币虽经历了无穷岁月，但纹路依然清晰可见，颇为难得。崇祯是明朝钱币最复杂的时期，也是中国古代货币史上最复杂的时期，其中小平钱复杂的背文，版别更加体现了崇祯钱制的混乱性，也是的崇祯年间的钱币极具研究价值。

背面一个一笔连书寿字，是一币书写而成，需要极强的书法功力，就好比黄胄的一串葡萄落款，也是一笔书写而成，至今无人能仿，这也是一种很好的防伪手段，仔细观察这枚钱币，经过时间的洗礼，岁月的冲刷，这枚钱币的颜色已然不同。正面隶书字体，古朴方正，“崇祯通宝”四个繁体字熠熠发光。字里行间留在钱币上的，绿锈包浆让人一看就知道它的历史年头，绝非后代人工刻制而成。钱币的中央部分，是打孔的正方形图案，这种钱币铸造形状便于老百姓将其串起来挂在身上，不易丢失，背面则没有印制任何的字体。也属罕见版本之一。

说到钱币的历史，公认是由玉璧发展而来的，在没有铜币值钱就是用玉璧来做交易的，而古人认为天是圆的地是方的，所以制作了外圆内圆的玉璧用来礼天，这枚钱币就是一枚少有的玉璧型的钱币，既有历史研究价值，也可以驱邪避恶，保平安。

广东省造光绪元宝库平七钱二银币据传说是为慈禧太后七十寿辰而铸，正面除满汉文外，左右各铸蝙蝠图案，背面正中书“寿”字，四周是双龙戏珠和祥云纹。相传当时只铸造了3万枚，其中库平重一两5千枚，库平七钱二2万5千枚，这枚广东省造光绪元宝库平重七钱二银币前后只铸造两版，本就存世极少，后又历经动荡、毁于战火中不知几何，所以真品是难得一见。

此币正面以珠圈为界，可分为内外两个部分：珠圈以外，上端为“广东省造”四字，下方为“库平七钱二”五字，左右两侧各铸一蝙蝠图案，寓有吉祥的含义；珠圈以内，铸有满、汉文“光绪元宝”四字。背面也以珠圈为界：珠圈外面，铸有双龙图案；珠圈里面，铸有一圆形“寿”字。广东省造双龙寿字币制造精致，楷书文字书法极为端庄大气，间架结构平衡舒展，在龙洋里首屈一指，是家喻户晓的罕见银币珍品，收藏价值和升值空间都值得期待。

反面，也是分为内圈和外圈两大部分，不一样的是，钱币的外圈两侧各有一只飞龙图案，象征着吉祥如意，因为正面有两只蝙蝠，蝙蝠的“蝠”字与幸福的“福”读音相同，所以将其铸刻在钱币的正面，因为飞龙是皇权的象征，所以既显示了福气之意，又展现出皇权的威严，还与内圈中的寿字相对应，呈现出“福寿双全”的美好之意，可谓是意蕴深厚，值得藏友们去细细品味。

上图双圈的外圈左右各一条龙，顶端一颗龙珠，双龙都朝龙珠升腾而去，两条升龙寓意着步步高升，国家昌盛，再看内圈的寿字，整体呈圆形，像极了龙珠，而这枚钱币本意就是为慈禧太后贺寿而打造的，其寓意吉祥，历史考证价值极高。

钱币整体有明显的氧化银现象，有明显的原光包浆，且字迹清晰轮廓分明，表现压力十足，多方面来看为真品无疑。

在封建社会历来是男尊女卑的，几千年里历来都只有皇上以及朝代命名的钱币，就连唯一的女皇帝武则天，也只是在钱币模具留下了她的指甲印，形成了背月钱币，为太后而铸造的钱币可以说是前无古人后无来者，这在钱币中堪称一绝，‘藏绝 ’才是收藏中的首选，而且品相完美，寓意吉祥，在钱币收藏领域是属于极品宝钱，见到真品的藏家极少，能收藏到此银币更是靠缘分了。
