在清代后期的时候，大家都知道我国经历了几场战争，国家可以说是到了快灭亡的边缘，国家的领土完整就受到了伤害，在经济方面，我们的经济也收到了外来殖民者的入侵，我们的流通的货币真金白银已经大量外流，所以货币出现了一定的问题，在这样的情况之下，西方列强试图通过制造货币来把控中国的经济命脉，这就出现了上海壹两银币。
上海壹两其铸造掺杂部分铜,远远小于标准银币26.6克，也正是因为其缺斤短两，再加上英国王冠高高在上，全不把清政府看在眼里，故得不到清政府看重，没能发行，其珍藏价值很高，被列为十大珍品之一。
名称：上海壹两
此枚上海壹两银币钱币正面“上海壹两”，银币的背面中央为英国国徽图案，周围铸英文“ONE TAEL SHANGHAl H0NG K0NG 1867”等字样，意为“1867年香港铸造上海一两”，下端镌银币成色“982”，即含银量为98.2%和重量“G566”，即重量为566格令，(格令Grain为英国衡制重量单位，1格令=0.065克)。钱币制作精美，图案考究，文字清秀，内容丰富，银光灿烂，其貌可人，具有一定的保值和升值功能。
上海壹两这种古钱币是我们极其罕见的一种珍品银币，由于受到清政府的抵制，所以在内地流通的比较少，该种钱币因制造时间短，存世量稀少，市场价格节节攀升，极具收藏价值。
英文翻译：
In the late Qing Dynasty, everyone knows that our country has gone through several wars. The country can be said to be on the verge of dying. The territorial integrity of the country has been harmed. In terms of economy, our economy has also received foreign colonists’ favor. Invasion, the real money in our circulation has already flowed out in large quantities, so currency has some problems. Under such circumstances, Western powers try to control China’s economic lifeline by manufacturing currency, which leads to the emergence of Shanghai One Two. silver.
Shanghai One Liang's casting of copper doped partly is far smaller than 26.6 grams of standard silver coins. It is precisely because of its lack of catties and shortness, and the British crown is so high that it does not take the Qing government in the eyes of the Qing government. The government valued it and failed to issue it. Its collection is of high value and is listed as one of the top ten treasures.
Name: Shanghai One Two
The front of this Shanghai One Twelve Silver Coin is "Shanghai One Twelve". The center of the back of the silver coin is the British National Emblem, and the English words "ONE TAEL SHANGHAl H0NG K0NG 1867" are cast around it, which means "Shanghai One Twelve Founded in Hong Kong in 1867". The fineness of the silver coin is "982", that is, the silver content is 98.2% and the weight is "G566", that is, the weight is 566 grains, (grain is a British unit of weight, 1 grain = 0.065 grams). The coins are exquisitely crafted, well-designed, elegant in writing, rich in content, brilliant in silver, and attractive in appearance, and have certain functions of preservation and appreciation.
The ancient coin of Shanghai One Liang is an extremely rare silver coin of ours. Due to the resistance of the Qing government, there are relatively few circulating in the mainland. Due to the short production time and scarce stock of this coin, the market price is rising. Great collection value.
