咸丰重宝当十是以铜为材质铸造于咸丰年间，当时该钱币为了咸丰重宝，咸丰元宝和咸丰通宝三种之间的区分，就以当五十计值，高于当五十计值的称为“咸丰元宝”，低于当五十及以下计值称为“咸丰重宝”，剩下的就是小平钱咸丰通宝，所有的钱币铸造都十分精美，镌刻在上面的字迹清晰俊秀，铜的材质优良，钱币整体简洁大方，精致，比之前以铜为材质的钱币直径大些，重量重一些。咸丰重宝当十铸造的时期正是太平天国革命运动的高潮时期，又加上鸦片战争的影响，清政府为了缓解军事耗费的财力，填补国库的亏空，
更是为了想快速的镇压太平天国运动，试图在钱币上面大作文章以此来缓解财政危机，所以咸丰重宝当十是在迫不得已的情况下开铸的，再后来又迅速的铸造了当五十、当百和当百以上，并命令全国开始铸造，在原来的铸造局上又加开了好多铸造局，以至于咸丰重宝当十种类繁多，并不统一，各具特色，大多是劣质的，粗制滥造的多，很多铸造局在原材料不足的情况下以铁钱、铅钱代替铜钱铸造，
这样相对来说咸丰重宝当十的精品非常之少，在后期鸦片战争和太平天国运动一起爆发，很多铸造局就停止铸造了。此钱币为咸丰重宝当十，圆形方口钱，黄铜质，正面铸有从上至下、右至左的楷书“咸丰重宝”；钱背上下写有汉文“当十”二字，左右写有钱局的名字。这套钱币精巧精致，虽然黄亮如新，却让人有一种熟旧的感觉。钱文为宋体字，字形深邃，笔势紧凑，笔锋锋利，手刻痕迹明显。保藏完好，铸币精良，币面包浆浑厚，钱币十分精美，字迹端正、流畅、舒展，在阳光的照射下更散发出光彩，极具收藏价值。
Xianfeng Heavy Treasure Dang Shi was cast in Xianfeng years with copper. At that time, in order to distinguish Xianfeng Heavy Treasure, Xianfeng Yuanbao and Xianfeng Tongbao, the coins were valued at 50 yuan. Those above the 50 yuan value were called "Xianfeng Yuanbao". Those below the 50 yuan value were called "Xianfeng Heavy Treasure". The remaining coins were Xiaoping Xianfeng Tongbao. All coins were cast beautifully, and the handwriting engraved on them was clear and beautiful, The copper is of good quality. The coins are simple, generous and exquisite. They are larger in diameter and heavier than those made of copper before. The period when Xianfeng Chongbao Dang Shi was minted was the climax of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's revolutionary movement. In addition to the influence of the Opium War, the Qing government wanted to ease the financial expenditure of the military and fill the gap in the national treasury, but also to quickly suppress the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's movement. It tried to write a lot on the coins to alleviate the financial crisis. Therefore, Xianfeng Chongbao Dang Shi was minted under the circumstances of necessity, Later, they quickly cast Dang 50, Dang 100 and Dang 100, and ordered the whole country to start casting. Many casting bureaus were added to the original casting bureaus, so that Xianfeng Chongbao Dang 10 had a wide variety, different characteristics, most of them were inferior, and many of them were poorly made. Many casting bureaus used iron coins and lead coins instead of copper coins when raw materials were insufficient, In this way, there are relatively few high-quality products of Xianfeng, and many foundries stopped casting when the Opium War and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement broke out together in the later period. This coin is Xianfeng Chongbao Dangshi, a round square mouth coin, made of brass, with regular script "Xianfeng Chongbao" from top to bottom and from right to left on the front; The Chinese character "Dang Shi" is written on the back of Qian, and the name of Qian Qian Bureau is written on the left and right. This set of coins is exquisite and delicate. Although they are as bright as new, they make people feel familiar with the old. Qian's characters are Song typeface characters with deep shapes, compact strokes, sharp strokes and obvious hand carved marks. It is well preserved, the coins are well minted, the coins are thick in bread paste, the coins are very exquisite, the handwriting is correct, smooth, and stretch, and they give off luster in the sunlight, which is of great collection value.
