此藏品为库平七钱二的版式,由于广东省当时铸造此币的目的是奉献清廷以祝慈禧太后万寿,所以铸额不大,大多奉献给清廷或赠于当时的达官显贵,见于民间流通的很少。该银币正面珠圈外上端镌刻“广东省造”四字,下端镌刻楷书“库平七钱二”五字,左右两侧各镌有一蝙蝠图案,珠圈内铸有“光绪元宝”四字。银币背面珠圈外铸双龙戏珠图案,珠圈内铸一圆形“寿”字。银币设计极富特色,正面两侧所铸的一对蝙蝠图案寓意吉祥。因蝙蝠的“蝠”字与“福”字谐音,在币面上铸蝙蝠图案意在取“蝠”、“福”两字谐音,与背面的“寿”字相对应,寓意“福寿双全”。
迄今历朝铸造的银、铜币没有哪一种可以与寿字七钱二相比。一方面该币几乎每一笔笔画镌刻以及纹饰均难以模仿;另一方面银币背面双龙刻画的栩栩如生,令人叹为观止,是十分优秀的盘龙浮雕作品
