——稀世珍品·龙纹瑰宝·文化与财富的双重传承
一、藏品核心价值
1. 历史背景与稀缺性
• 铸造背景：中外通宝双龙八卦壹两银币诞生于清咸丰年间（1857-1858年），由上海江海关委托英国皇家造币厂代铸，是中国近代货币史上罕见的“中外合璧”银币。其铸造目的为统一海关关平银两标准，但因清廷顾虑货币主权及关平差异，旋即停铸销毁，存世量仅数十枚，属国家级文物级藏品。 • 版式特征：直径45mm、厚度3mm、重36g，符合实重壹两型样币标准。正面外圈直读“中外通宝”，内圈竖书“银壹两”、横书“关平”；背面为太极八卦阴阳图，外圈双龙逆时针首尾相连，龙纹细腻如刀刻，八卦纹路凸起，工艺登峰造极。
2. 文化象征与收藏地位
• 龙纹寓意：中华民族视龙为神圣图腾，民间传说此币龙纹可“趋吉避凶”，深受藏家追捧。 • 收藏圈地位：被誉为“迷之钱币”，是资深藏家必备的“镇馆之宝”。刘益谦等顶级藏家曾言：“得此币者，乃收藏之福。”
二、市场表现与升值空间
1. 历史拍卖纪录
• 2017年：双龙八卦版式银币拍出269万元高价，同年另一枚关平壹两银币成交价达292万元。 • 2021年：贵州佳辰文化公司曾展出一枚，标价2万元仅作展示，实际市场估值超500万元。
2. 当前估值与升值逻辑
• 起拍价800万·保留价900万：基于以下核心因素： 存世量：全球公开流通真品不足50枚，且多数藏于博物馆或顶级藏家手中，市场流通量极低。 • 品相优势：直径45mm、重量36g符合实重壹两标准，包浆自然、龙纹清晰，属“极美品”等级。 • 文化溢价：龙纹、八卦、中英文字结合，兼具历史研究价值与艺术审美价值。
-
升值预期：近代银币年均增值率达15%-20%，此币因稀缺性，预计3年内市场估值将突破1200万元。
三、拍卖推广策略
1. 目标买家定位
• 顶级藏家：聚焦马未都、刘益谦等收藏界领军人物，以及港澳、东南亚华裔藏家群体。 • 机构投资者：博物馆、文化基金会、企业艺术收藏部门。 • 高净值人群：通过私人银行、高端艺术品俱乐部定向邀约。
2. 亮点设计
• 历史叙事：强调“清廷与英国货币主权博弈的见证者”“近代海关制度改革的实物遗存”。 • 文化符号：以“双龙护宝·八卦镇运”为宣传主题，突出其作为“风水宝币”的民间信仰价值。 • 数据对比：列举同类银币拍卖纪录，突出“800万起拍价仅为市场估值的60%-70%”，“捡漏”心理。
四、风险提示与保障
• 竞拍策略：建议买家以“保留价900万”为心理底线，利用现场竞价氛围激发溢价空间。
结语
中外通宝双龙八卦壹两银币，是历史、文化与艺术的完美融合，其稀缺性、工艺价值与文化符号意义，决定了它不仅是财富的象征，更是中国近代货币史的“活化石”。此次拍卖，将为藏家提供一次“收藏传奇、传承文明”的绝佳机遇。

Background of minting: The Sino foreign Tongbao Double Dragon Bagua One liang Silver Coin was born during the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty (1857-1858), commissioned by Shanghai Jiang Customs to be minted by the Royal Mint of the United Kingdom. It is a rare "combination of Chinese and foreign" silver coin in the history of modern Chinese currency. The purpose of its casting was to unify the customs clearance silver standards, but due to concerns about currency sovereignty and customs clearance differences, the Qing court immediately stopped casting and destroyed it. The remaining quantity is only a few dozen pieces, which belong to national cultural relics level collections.
Layout features: diameter 45mm, thickness 3mm, weight 36g, in accordance with the standard of one or two types of actual weight coins. The front outer circle reads "Zhongwai Tongbao" directly, while the inner circle reads "Yinyi Liang" vertically and "Guanping" horizontally; On the back is the Taiji Bagua Yin Yang diagram, with the outer circle of double dragons connected counterclockwise from head to tail.
