咸豐元寶：中國古代錢幣之一。 據資料記載：清咸豐年間（1851-1861年），太平天國農民起義發展迅猛，並在江蘇南京建都，此時清政府賴以鑄錢之用的滇銅（雲南省出產的銅料），因道路阻斷而無法運進北京。一方面是鎮壓起義急需大量的軍餉開銷，一方面是鑄錢的原材料告缺，給清政府造成了嚴重的財政困難，最終迫使清政府自咸豐三年開始發行紙幣和改鑄大錢來彌補財政虧空。
咸豐元寶當百銅錢
此枚咸豐元寶當百銅錢，地刻精美紋飾，咸豐元寶是清代文宗咸豐年間鑄。此枚咸豐元寶當百銅元，是圓形方孔銅質錢幣，其形狀外發天，內地法，取義精宏，為難得一見的珍品古錢。正面鑄有楷書「咸豐元寶」四字，從上而下而右而左直讀，背面上下寫有漢文「當百」二字標明幣值，左右用滿文寫寶蘇局造幣局。此幣錢文，書意端莊雋美，筆劃力道十足，筆鋒鮮明犀利，筆劃壯實規矩，如挺立青松，筆直帶感。整體保存完好，鑄造精美，錢體厚重，幣麵包漿渾厚，錢幣十分精美。
古幣收藏通常是面值越大價值越高，在古代制錢防偽技術並不高，雖有朝廷法律明文規定，不允許私鑄，當是只要有大面值的錢幣，就會產生巨大的利益，在利益面前會出現大量私鑄錢幣，很容易造成通貨膨脹，在古代歷來是錢不如銅貴的時候就熔毀去製作銅器販賣，錢貴銅賤的時候，就會出現大量的私鑄幣，所以當百是不敢隨便發行的，要發行也是權宜之計，短期使用，一旦發行民間私鑄馬上會造成嚴重的通貨膨脹，想要找到一個平衡點是非常難得。這枚當百文極為稀少，流傳至今品相依舊十分完美，俗話說舊器如新就是寶，這枚錢幣可以說是鎮館級別非常的罕見。
英文翻譯：Xianfeng Yuanbao: one of the ancient Chinese coins. According to records, during the Reign of Emperor Xianfeng of the Qing Dynasty (1851-1861), the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom peasant uprising developed rapidly and established its capital in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. At that time, the Qing government relied on Dian Copper (copper material produced in Yunnan Province) for making money, but roads were blocked and it could not be transported to Beijing. On the one hand, there was an urgent need for a large amount of military expenses to suppress the uprising; on the other hand, the shortage of raw materials for casting money caused serious financial difficulties to the Qing government, which finally forced the Qing government to issue paper money and make up for the financial deficit from the third year of Xianfeng.
