光绪元宝是清朝光绪年间流通的货币之一。由湖北两广总督张之洞率先引进英国铸币机器铸造银元和铜元，之后各省纷纷仿效。共有十九个省局铸造，除中央户部，地方省所铸铜元，皆在其正面上缘镌写省名。光绪元宝是大清光绪年流通大面值货币之首，是我国首批引进海外技术的印发流通货币，对于现今也蕴藏了一定历史意义。

应当时我国技术落后，所有铸币机器具有由外国进口，甚至样币的制作也是委托外国雕刻师进行，其中伯明翰喜敦造币厂便是其中最为重要的代铸单位，伯明翰喜敦造币厂先后为清政府铸造了浙江、江南、陕西等光绪元宝，其三者被泉界誉为“喜敦厂三大样币”。

光绪二十四年（1898年），陕西巡抚魏光焘会同户部试办银币厂，透过上海德商瑞生洋行向英国伯明翰喜敦造币厂订购全套设备，包括一台印花机及代办五种面值的银币印模，计花费白银二万六千九百两。于是陕西停止了造币厂的筹备。英国伯明翰喜敦造币厂将机具完成后于次年初运出，但此时清政府因各省设厂过多进行整顿，陕省被列入裁撤名单，已抵达上海的机器另行处理。于是陕西停止了造币厂的筹备。因此，此币只留有试铸样币，因此存世稀少，故被誉为中国银币二十珍之一。
