2. 宣统帝在位仅三年，且辛亥革命爆发后清王朝灭亡，导致铸币量有限，存世量极为稀少。
3. 稀缺性分析： 度支部版别：相比“户部”称谓，“度支部”存在时间更短，版别更稀有。

三、市场表现与拍卖记录
1. 价格驱动因素： 版式稀缺性：度支部版别存世量极少，尤其是品相上乘者。
2. 历史价值：见证清末币制改革，承载封建社会向半殖民地社会过渡的历史信息。
3. 工艺美学：蟠龙图案威武霸气，龙纹细腻，符合收藏界对“皇家威严”的审美追求。
四、收藏价值分析
1. 经济价值： 起拍价40万元：基于近期拍卖记录，该藏品起拍价合理，具备升值潜力。
2. 长期趋势：随着古钱币收藏市场活跃，稀缺版别的大清铜币价格持续攀升，适合长期投资。
3. 文化价值： 历史研究：反映清末财政改革与货币制度演变，是研究近代经济史的重要实物。
4. 艺术鉴赏：蟠龙图案融合中西方文化（英文环绕），体现清代工匠的高超技艺。
5. 稀缺性溢价： 度支部版别：相比“户部”铜币，度支部版存世量更少，收藏价值更高。
6. 品相优势：原光币、巧克力包浆等特征可显著提升价格，如MS64分评级币曾以178万元成交。
五、鉴定与收藏建议
1. 真伪鉴定： 文字与图案：真品字面、图案表面圆润凸起，错落有致，有立体雕塑感。
2. 包浆与光泽：自然包浆色泽均匀，原光币保留原始光泽。
3. 收藏策略： 资深藏家：聚焦错版币、特殊年号版式（如乙己户部奉字版二十文198万元）或混铸工艺币（如川滇混铸版158万元）。
