頤和園，中國清朝時期皇家園林，前身為清漪園，坐落在北京西郊，距城區十五公里，占地約二百九十公頃，與圓明園毗鄰。它是以昆明湖、萬壽山為基址，以杭州西湖為藍本，汲取江南園林的設計手法而建成的一座大型山水園林，也是保存最完整的一座皇家行宮御苑，被譽為“皇家園林博物館”，也是國家重點旅游景點。
The summer palace, the imperial garden of the Qing Dynasty in China, formerly known as Qingyi Garden, is located in the western suburb of Beijing, 15km away from the city, covering an area of 290 hectares, adjacent to the Yuanmingyuan Garden. It is a large-scale landscape garden built on the basis of Kunming Lake and Wanshou mountain, based on the West Lake of Hangzhou, and drawing on the design techniques of Jiangnan gardens. It is also the most complete royal palace imperial garden, known as the "Royal Garden Museum", and also a national key tourist attraction.
這枚錢幣是為了紀念1888年光緒皇帝重建頤和園所發行的花錢，頤和園在咸豐十年（1860年），被英法聯軍焚毀。也是希望此園重建后能順順利利，平平安安的傳承下去，只可惜后來八國聯軍又將它毀為一旦，著實令人感到惋惜。錢幣通體采用金屬鋁鑄造的花錢，在當時還是第一次用金屬鋁鑄造錢幣。在當時清朝末期，電解鋁的技術還未發明，所以鋁的材料比黃金還要貴重。當年拿破侖發行的勛章也鋁制的，比黃金還要貴重很多。這枚錢幣采用傳統外圓內方錢幣制式，廓款幣厚，整體制式極為規整，錢幣地章平坦，穿口修整規范。錢文深峻挺拔，字口俊秀靈動，圖案清晰可辨。包漿醇厚潤澤，皮殼厚實自然。同時也體現滿清皇權制度在鑄幣領域的權威，其設計制造者不計成本地進行了精美絕倫的設計。其藝術水準、防偽能力迄今沒有被超越。
This coin was issued to commemorate the cost of Emperor Guangxu's reconstruction of the summer palace in 1888, which was burnt down by the British and French allied forces in the 10th year of Xianfeng (1860). It is also hoped that after the reconstruction of the park, it will continue smoothly and peacefully, but it is a pity that the Allied forces of the eight countries destroyed it once again. It was the first time that metal aluminum was used to cast coins at that time. In the late Qing Dynasty, the technology of electrolytic aluminum had not been invented, so the material of aluminum was more valuable than gold. Napoleon's medal was also made of aluminum, which was much more valuable than gold. This coin adopts the traditional external and internal coin system. It has a thick outline, a very regular overall system, a flat ground seal, and a standard dressing. Qian Wen is deep and upright, with beautiful words and clear patterns. The coating is mellow and smooth, and the shell is thick and natural. At the same time, it also reflects the authority of the imperial power system in the field of coinage in the Qing Dynasty, and its designers and manufacturers have carried out excellent designs regardless of local conditions. Its artistic level and anti-counterfeiting ability have not been surpassed so far.
錢幣正面楷書體鐫刻“德和通寶”四字，背面為龍鳳呈祥圖案，上下鐫刻楷書“頤和”兩字。頤和，指頤和園。中國清朝時期皇家園林，前身為清漪園，坐落在北京西郊，距城區十五公里，占地約二百九十公頃，與圓明園毗鄰。它是以昆明湖、萬壽山為基址，以杭州西湖為藍本，汲取江南園林的設計手法而建成的一座大型山水園林，被譽為“皇家園林博物館”。
On the obverse of the coin, the four characters of "Dehe Tongbao" are engraved in regular script, on the back is the pattern of dragon and Phoenix, and on the top and bottom, the two characters of "Yihe" are engraved. Yihe refers to the summer palace. The imperial garden of Qing Dynasty in China, formerly known as Qingyi Garden, is located in the western suburb of Beijing, 15km away from the city, covering an area of 290 hectares, adjacent to Yuanmingyuan. It is a large-scale landscape garden built on the basis of Kunming Lake and Wanshou mountain, based on the West Lake of Hangzhou, and drawing on the design techniques of Jiangnan gardens. It is known as the "Royal Garden Museum".
此枚德和通寶在以往的國內外拍賣會上，僅有過3次的拍賣記錄，足以見錢幣之稀有，是被國內外集藏界公認的中國近代花錢大珍，堪稱孤品，極具收藏與投資價值。
In the past domestic and foreign auctions, Meide and Tongbao had only three auctions, which is enough to see the rarity of coins. It is recognized by the domestic and foreign collectors as a great treasure of modern Chinese money, which can be called a unique product with great collection and investment value.
