广州东朝文化：大日本明治八年一万元

明治8年（公元1875年）,日本政府为了便于和中国，俄罗斯，朝鲜等周边国家以及美国，墨西哥，英国，法国，葡萄牙，西班牙和荷兰等欧美国家进行贸易，特别铸造发行了贸易币。

In 1875, in order to facilitate trade with China, Russia, North Korea and other neighboring countries, as well as the United States, Mexico, Britain, France, Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands and other European and American countries, the Japanese government specially minted and issued trade coins.

明治维新期间，日本一切社会制度皆模仿西方国家。这是一个貌似我们古时夜郎国一样的国家，当时在国家上处处碰壁，明治三年从英国殖民地香港购的二手制作本货币机器一台，当年即生产少量壹元银币。明治八年（1876年）日本壹万圆铂金币，无论是造型或设计都是世界一流的，日本贸易币现存世量极少。

During Meiji Restoration, all social systems in Japan imitated western countries. This is a country that looks like our Yelang country in ancient times. At that time, there were many obstacles in the country. In Meiji three years, a second-hand local currency machine was purchased from Hong Kong, a British colony. That year, a small amount of one yuan silver coins was produced. In 1876, Japan's ten thousand yuan platinum gold coins, both in shape and design, were world-class.

藏品正面中心位置有"铂金壹万圆"字样，上方有一樱花绽放，左右两边伴以樱菊花枝，花蕊花蕾清晰可辨，枝脚交叉成蝴蝶结状，具有浓郁的东瀛特色。

In the center of the front of the collection is the words "platinum 10000 yuan". There is a cherry blossom blooming on the top, with cherry chrysanthemum branches on the left and right sides. The flower buds are clear and distinguishable, and the branches and feet are crossed into bows, with strong Japanese characteristics.

背面中心位置有双龙吐火球图案，印证了日本文化之"火成"说，又寓意"日"之生成。双龙张牙 ，怒目而对，磷须可现，双尾相盘，栩栩如生。

In the center of the back is the design of two dragons spitting fireballs, which proves the theory of "Huocheng" in Japanese culture and implies the generation of "Japan". The two dragons open their teeth. They are angry and right. The phosphorus is visible. The two tails are vivid.

大日本明治八年一万元银币是旧时流入中国的日本银元之一。日本银元多在通商口岸使用，并随中日贸易的发展而流入中国，流通区域包括厦门、福州、九江、南昌、汕头以及北方的沈阳、大连等地。因其背面为龙珠图案，故又称为"日本龙洋"。

The 10000 yuan silver coin of Meiji in Japan was one of the Japanese silver coins that flowed into China in the old days. The Japanese silver dollar is mostly used in trading ports and flows into China with the development of Sino Japanese trade. The circulation areas include Xiamen, Fuzhou, Jiujiang, Nanchang, Shantou, Shenyang, Dalian and other places in the north. It is also called "Japan dragon ocean" because of its dragon bead pattern on the back.

该龙纹与中国传统龙纹有很大的差异，区别于中国龙纹传递的威严与霸气，日本龙纹视觉上偏向凶恶，符合日本民族争勇斗狠的个性。

This dragon pattern is very different from the traditional Chinese dragon pattern, which is different from the majesty and domineering power of the Chinese dragon pattern. The Japanese dragon pattern tends to be vicious visually, which is in line with the Japanese national character of fighting bravely and ruthlessly.
