典藏尺寸：重量7g 直径29.4mm | 重量7g 直径28.2mm
1905年(光绪三十一年)10月，清政府在天津设立的户部造币总厂开始铸造新式铜元“大清铜币”，并颁布《整顿圜法章程十条》，其中规定：“铜元成色定为用九七紫铜，三厘白铜，原用听锡一厘”;“重量定准当二十者重库平四钱，当十者重库平二钱，当五者重库平一钱，当二者重库平四分”;“统一制造大清铜币，由户部颁发祖模，均与总厂所铸一律，惟于正面加铸省名一字，以便查考。每次铸出，均须呈送财政处户部化验，并由财政处户部随时遵派要员前往稽查”，“各省所铸铜币，应令该省所设官钱公估等局，酌量市面情形定价，随发随收，持之以信”;“各省所铸铜币， 不得大宗贩运出生活上，若各省需用铜币，可备价至总厂领取”。在归并铜元局得以顺利实施的同时，又限定各省每日铸造铜元数额，以避免重蹈滥造的覆辙。此后，清政府将户部改称“度支部”，命各省造币厂改称度支部造币分厂，欲统而治之，巩固中央造币集权。
这一时期铜元的显著特点，正面均钤有汉文“大清铜币”字样，左右边缘分列“户部”和干支纪年文字， 后期去掉“户部”， 仅留干支纪年文字， 上缘列满文“大清铜币”， 下缘列纪值文字; 背面为统一蟠龙， 又称“部颁龙”或“大清龙”， 上缘前期为“光绪年造”、后期为“宣统年造”字样，下缘为英文“TAI—CHING—TI—KUO COPPER COIN”， 汉译为“大清帝国铜币”。户部所铸铜元正面中央无文字，各省所铸铜元正面中央铸一阴文单省名，也有个别为阳文以示区别。币值分为当制钱二十文、十文、五文和二文四种。此阶段新疆地区铸行“宣统元宝”铜元，西藏地区曾铸行“宣统宝藏”铜元，仅此两例。虽然清政府处心积虑改革币制，但未能有效遏制住全国大肆铸造铜元的势头，各省局以利之所在都阳奉阴违，边疆省份云南竟敢违背不准设新厂的诏令， 1907年(光绪三十三年)设局铸行“云”字大清铜币。铜币的使用具有重要的现实意义和历史意义，使交易逐渐便利起来。大清铜币止于1911年（宣统三年），流通时间较短。因其版面设计优雅，雕刻精良，且存世量极为稀少，宣统年造乙酉大清铜币当十被誉为中国近代制币中的十大名誉品之一。
In October 1905 (thirty-one year of Guangxu), the Hubu Coinage General Factory set up by the Qing government in Tianjin began to cast new copper coins "Qing copper coins", and promulgated the "Ten Articles of Association of the Overhaul Law", which stipulated: "Copper yuan is determined to use 97 red copper, three centimeters of white copper, and the original tin one centimetre"; "The weight is fixed when twenty people weigh four cents, when ten people weigh two cents, when five people weigh one dollar, when two people weigh four cents"; "Unified manufacturing of Qing Dynasty copper coins, issued by the Ministry of the ancestral mold, are cast with the head factory, but in the front to add the name of the province, so as to check." Each time, it must be submitted to the Department of Finance for testing, and the Department of Finance at any time to send important officers to inspect ", "the copper coins cast by the provinces should be made by the government of the province to assess the price of the market situation, with the receipt, with the letter"; "The copper coins cast by the provinces shall not be trafficked out of daily life in bulk, and if the provinces need copper coins, they can be prepared to receive them from the general factory." At the same time that the integration of copper yuan Bureau was successfully implemented, the daily amount of copper yuan cast in each province was also limited to avoid repeating the mistake of indiscriminate production. Since then, the Qing government changed the name of the Ministry of Household to "degree branch", and ordered the provinces to change their mints to the degree branch minting branch, in order to unify and govern it, and consolidate the centralization of central coinage.
The significant characteristics of copper coins in this period are stamped with the Chinese characters "Daqing copper coins" on the front, and the left and right edges are divided into "Hubu" and Ganzhi chronograms. In the later period, the "Hubu" is removed, and only the Ganzhi chronograms are left, and the Manchu "Daqing copper coins" is listed on the upper edge, and the Ji value characters are listed on the lower edge. On the back is the unified flat dragon, also known as "Ministry dragon" or "Qing dragon", the upper edge is "Guangxu year made" in the early period and "Xuantong Year made" in the later period, and the lower edge is the English "Tai-ching-Ti-Kuo COPPER COIN", which is translated as "Qing Empire copper coin" in Chinese. The front center of the copper yuan cast by the ministry of household has no text, and the front center of the copper yuan cast by the provinces has a single province name in Yin script, and there are also individual Yang scripts to show the difference. The currency value is divided into four types: twenty, ten, five and two. At this stage, the "Xuantong Yuanbao" copper dollar was cast in Xinjiang, and the "Xuantong treasure" copper dollar was cast in Tibet, and there are only two examples. Although the Qing government made every effort to reform the currency system, it failed to effectively curb the momentum of vigorously minting copper coins throughout the country, and the provincial bureaus were all in favor of their advantages. Yunnan, a frontier province, dared to violate the edict not to set up new factories, and in 1907 (the 33th year of Guangxu) set up an bureau to cast "cloud", a Qing copper coin. The use of copper coins has important practical and historical significance, which makes the transaction gradually convenient. Copper coins in the Qing Dynasty ended in 1911 (three years of Xuantong), and the circulation time was relatively short. Because of its elegant layout design, excellent engraving, and extremely rare existence, Xuantong made Yiyou Daqing copper coin Dang ten is known as one of the ten honorary products in modern Chinese coin.
