清文宗的年号,咸丰年间正值太平天国革命运动的高潮时期。此时民怨沸腾，清政府为了苟延残喘，在钱币铸行上大做文章，将财政危机转嫁到老百姓身上。相继推出“咸丰通宝”、“咸丰重宝”、“咸丰元宝”等钱币。大平军连捷，各地反清起义风起云涌下，清军疲于奔命，清廷惊慌失措。这时，清朝的军费开支大增，而税额收入大减，再加上鸦片战争的影响，导致财政拮据，为了筹款继续镇压太平军，缓解财政危机，于咸丰三年（公元1853年）清廷被迫鼓铸大钱。《大钱图录》说：“咸丰三年（公元1853年），军务日滋，清饷不能继，寿阳相国权户部议，请铸当十大钱，兼增铁冶以供度支。旋推及当十，样币，通过后再批量生产，因此咸丰重宝样币具有一定的历史价值和经济价值。此枚乃评级币“咸丰重宝”钱币铸相规整，方正圆矩，地章平整，包浆浓厚，锈相开门，正面铸有楷书“咸丰重宝”四字，从上而下而右而左直读;钱背上下写有汉文“当十”二字标明币值，左右用满文写有钱局的名称。 棱边未经任何人工雕琢，自然的铸相”特征明显，使人一看便知官炉出品，是难得一见之收藏佳品!

The reign of Wenzong of the Qing Dynasty and the Xianfeng period coincided with the climax of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Revolution. At this time, people's grievances were boiling, and the Qing government made a big fuss on coin minting to pass on the financial crisis to the people. Coins such as "Xianfeng Tongbao", "Xianfeng Zhongbao" and "Xianfeng Yuanbao" have been introduced successively. The Daping army succeeded in succession, the anti-Qing uprising was surging everywhere, the Qing army was exhausted and the Qing court was panicked.
