“咸(xian)豐(feng)”是清文宗的年號，咸(xian)豐(feng)年間正值太平(ping)天國革命運(yun)動(dong)的高潮時期。此時民怨沸騰，清政府為(wei)了茍延殘喘，在錢幣(bi)(bi)鑄行上(shang)大做文章，將財(cai)政危機轉嫁到老百(bai)姓(xing)身上(shang)。相繼(ji)推(tui)出“咸(xian)豐(feng)通寶”、“咸(xian)豐(feng)重寶”、“咸(xian)豐(feng)元寶”種類繁(fan)多(duo)的錢幣(bi)(bi)。
咸豐元年(nian)首先準備開鑄“咸豐通寶(bao)”制(zhi)錢(qian)(qian)(qian)。由于鴉片戰(zhan)爭、列(lie)強的掠(lve)奪和(he)太(tai)平天國革命(ming)運(yun)動的發生(sheng)，錢(qian)(qian)(qian)局鑄造制(zhi)錢(qian)(qian)(qian)已很難正常進行，很多(duo)省錢(qian)(qian)(qian)局實際上處于停頓狀(zhuang)態，即使開鑄，也是(shi)偷工減料。因而(er)(er)造成咸豐通寶(bao)制(zhi)錢(qian)(qian)(qian)精(jing)好者(zhe)少，而(er)(er)粗(cu)制(zhi)濫造的多(duo)，大(da)都(dou)質劣而(er)(er)輕(qing)小(xiao)，或造成鐵(tie)錢(qian)(qian)(qian)、鉛錢(qian)(qian)(qian)代(dai)替銅錢(qian)(qian)(qian)。咸豐元年(nian)時，規定錢(qian)(qian)(qian)重一(yi)錢(qian)(qian)(qian)二(er)分，至第二(er)年(nian)，變為一(yi)錢(qian)(qian)(qian)，但具體鑄行大(da)多(duo)輕(qing)于規定重量。
面文“咸豐通寶(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)”，大多楷書(shu)直讀(du)，背左(zuo)滿文“寶(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)”，右(you)滿文記局(ju)(ju)(ju)，計有：“寶(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)泉(quan)、寶(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)源、寶(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)直、寶(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)薊、寶(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)德、寶(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)河(he)、寶(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)濟(ji)、寶(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)晉(jin)、寶(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)陜、寶(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)鞏(gong)、寶(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)蘇(su)(su)、寶(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)浙(zhe)局(ju)(ju)(ju)、寶(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)昌、寶(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)福(fu)、寶(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)臺(tai)、寶(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)武、寶(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)南、寶(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)廣、寶(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)桂、寶(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)川、寶(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)云、寶(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)東、寶(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)州、寶(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)黔、寶(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)伊、阿克蘇(su)(su)、喀(ka)什噶爾、葉兒羌、庫車”共29局(ju)(ju)(ju)。
在太平軍(jun)連捷，各(ge)地(di)反清(qing)起義風起云涌下，清(qing)軍(jun)疲于奔命(ming)，清(qing)廷(ting)驚慌(huang)失(shi)措。這時，清(qing)朝的(de)軍(jun)費開支大(da)(da)(da)增，而稅額收入大(da)(da)(da)減(jian)，再加上(shang)鴉片戰爭的(de)影(ying)響，導致(zhi)財政(zheng)拮據，為(wei)了籌款繼(ji)續鎮壓太平軍(jun)，緩解財政(zheng)危機，于咸(xian)(xian)豐三年(nian)(nian)（公元1853年(nian)(nian)）清(qing)廷(ting)被(bei)迫鼓鑄(zhu)(zhu)(zhu)(zhu)大(da)(da)(da)錢(qian)。《大(da)(da)(da)錢(qian)圖錄》說：“咸(xian)(xian)豐三年(nian)(nian)（公元1853年(nian)(nian)），軍(jun)務日滋，清(qing)餉(xiang)不(bu)能繼(ji)，壽陽(yang)相國權(quan)戶部議，請鑄(zhu)(zhu)(zhu)(zhu)當(dang)(dang)(dang)十(shi)大(da)(da)(da)錢(qian)，兼增鐵冶以(yi)供(gong)度支。旋推及當(dang)(dang)(dang)五十(shi)，當(dang)(dang)(dang)百(bai)錢(qian)。巡(xun)防(fang)王大(da)(da)(da)臣續請鑄(zhu)(zhu)(zhu)(zhu)當(dang)(dang)(dang)五百(bai)，當(dang)(dang)(dang)千兩種。”說明咸(xian)(xian)豐大(da)(da)(da)錢(qian)是在迫不(bu)行已的(de)情(qing)況下鑄(zhu)(zhu)(zhu)(zhu)行的(de)。“咸(xian)(xian)豐重(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)寶”始鑄(zhu)(zhu)(zhu)(zhu)當(dang)(dang)(dang)十(shi)大(da)(da)(da)錢(qian)，繼(ji)而又開鑄(zhu)(zhu)(zhu)(zhu)當(dang)(dang)(dang)五十(shi)、當(dang)(dang)(dang)百(bai)和當(dang)(dang)(dang)百(bai)以(yi)上(shang)，并令全(quan)國各(ge)省迅速鑄(zhu)(zhu)(zhu)(zhu)造(zao)(zao)推行。“咸(xian)(xian)豐重(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)寶”鑄(zhu)(zhu)(zhu)(zhu)行情(qing)況十(shi)分混亂復雜(za)，當(dang)(dang)(dang)值(zhi)(zhi)等次，大(da)(da)(da)小輕重(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)，鑄(zhu)(zhu)(zhu)(zhu)造(zao)(zao)材質，鑄(zhu)(zhu)(zhu)(zhu)造(zao)(zao)工藝，文(wen)字書體，錢(qian)文(wen)等，在各(ge)局甚至在同一局監內鑄(zhu)(zhu)(zhu)(zhu)造(zao)(zao)時，都差(cha)異(yi)很(hen)大(da)(da)(da)，以(yi)至有(you)當(dang)(dang)(dang)值(zhi)(zhi)大(da)(da)(da)小和錢(qian)體大(da)(da)(da)小輕重(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)倒置(zhi)的(de)，此外還有(you)鐵錢(qian)和鉛錢(qian)。
