These coins were produced in the scenario that the government of the [[Manchu people|Manchu]] [[Qing dynasty]] would adopt the [[gold standard]], as was common in most of the world at the time. During this the Qing dynasty era, the [[Qing dynasty coinage|Chinese coinage system]] was based on a [[Bimetallism|bimetallic]] system of copper and silver and these proposed coins would have also introduced gold coinage to China. However, only a small number of trial coins were produced in the years 1906 and 1907, despite the production these pattern coins the Da-Qing Jinbi did not ever see any circulation. == History == The Qing dynasty used a [[Bimetallism|bimetallic]] [[Qing dynasty coinage|currency system]] based on silver [[sycee]]s and cast copper-alloy [[Cash (Chinese coin)|cash coins]] and during the 19th century modern machine-struck coinage from the [[Western world]] inspired the local production of milled coinages by provincial governments.<ref name="HoreshQing">{{cite web|url= https://link.springer.com/referenceworkentry/10.1007%2F978-981-10-0622-7_54-1|title= The Monetary System of China under the Qing Dynasty.|date=28 September 2018|accessdate=29 July 2019|author= [[Niv Horesh]]|publisher= [[Springer Nature|Springer Link]]|language=en}}</ref><ref name="PrimalQing">{{cite web|url= http://primaltrek.com/chinesecoins.html#qing_dynasty_coins|title= Chinese coins – 中國錢幣 - Qing (Ch'ing) Dynasty (1644-1911)|date=16 November 2016|accessdate=31 December 2019|work= Gary Ashkenazy / גארי אשכנזי (Primaltrek – a journey through Chinese culture)|language=en}}</ref> The first of these being provincial issues of the [[Guangxu Yuanbao]] (光緒元寶) which would later inspire the government of the Qing dynasty to standardise its currency nationwide due to the different weights and standards being used across China.<ref name="PrimalQing"/> During the later years of the Manchu Qing dynasty, the coinage system was scattered with central government-made coins, local coins and some foreign currencies circulating together in the private sector of China, resulting in a great deal of currency confusion, this has made both fiscal and financial management in China quite difficult.
