清朝末年,湖北钱币制造异常混乱,银币、铜币同时流通,贵贱互见,铸毁频繁,钱币质量低劣,既薄且小,无标准重量;银币成色不一,价格各异,商民常受钱店抑勒.张之洞署理湖北以后,兴实业、练新军、办教育、大力推行洋务新政.但由于货币流通不畅,货币量又不足,影响了新政的顺利实施.于是他奏请清廷批准,在湖北铸造“银元”.光绪十九年(公元1893年),在武昌三佛阁设立“湖北银元局”,委托蔡锡勇为总办,向国外订购了一套铸银币机器,聘请英国工程师负责校准银币成色,次年开机铸造,所铸银币为“库平重”三钱六分、七钱二分等大小五种,每日铸币耗白银五千两.铸出的银元先在湖北汉口、宜昌两地试用,因新铸银元成色优良,重量准确,颇受商民欢迎,使用范围逐渐扩大到皖、赣、苏等省部分城镇,成为长江中下游地区主要流通货币,因此,铸造数量迅速增加,每月铸币耗银达四十多万两.
