說起龍洋，還得追溯到清朝光緒時代。從光緒中葉起，我國各省地方政府始用機器製造銀幣，龍洋開始斷斷續續的問世了。光緒十五年（1889年），清工業大臣張之洞購置了新的機器，在廣州設立了造幣廠，鑄造了出了第一批重量一兩的“光緒元寶”。這種銀幣的背部全部是以龍為主的圖案。經過兩次試鑄，第三版的龍洋正式流通，民間也頗為歡迎。從這個時候起，各省開始紛紛效仿，鑄造出了形形色色的龍洋。
太后專權誕生的稀有紀念幣，雙龍壽字，2000多年的封建歷史，從未有過以女人為主題而出現在貨幣之上，慈禧藉助70大壽特賞此銀幣，來明示自己的專權地位，她與光緒帝共為真龍天子，這也是雙龍銀幣的意義，一條龍代表光緒帝，一條龍代表慈禧共掌天下大權。

丁未年一兩雙龍幣
正面：雙龍戲珠圖案，底部為海水紋，雙龍中間一兩幣值，整體立體感很強，輪廓分明，表現壓力十足，中國龍被視為神物予以崇拜。“龍圖是中國人的圖騰,中國曆代的君王及皇族子孫被稱為龍子，龍孫。龍的形象在皇室用品上被專有使用。據史書記載早在漢武帝時期的“白金三品",就鑄有“龍〃的圖形;其後的宋元明代,已有少部分流通幣上鑄有龍紋。特別是在歷代花錢上,龍的圖形則更多。清代未期光緒、宣統年間,官鑄的金、銀、銅元,其背面更是大多鑄有龍圖。據不完全統計,清代銀幣上的“龍"幣圖案約有近千種版別。這些龍更是千變萬化，這枚錢幣為坐龍，周邊吉祥雲，給人騰雲駕霧，君臨天下之感，古代只有皇室能自稱為真龍天子，龍也象徵著君王。
反面：錢幣的反面，也是分為內圈和外圈兩大部分，內圈光緒銀幣四字，錢幣的外圈兩側各有一隻草龍圖案，象徵著吉祥如意，因為龍是皇權的象徵，所以既顯示了福氣之意，又展現出皇權的威嚴，兩條龍直奔龍珠，龍珠呈現一個篆刻的壽字，兩龍伸出前爪，欲將其抓住，正面雙龍搶奪一顆火珠，而且兩條龍都為升龍之勢，寓意天下昇平，平步青雲。
目前有學者專業研究慈禧太后，而這枚雙龍壽字幣就是最好的見證，在慈禧看了她自己就是真龍天子，與皇帝共政，所以就有了這雙龍壽字幣的誕生。在古代用銀幣喜歡拍在桌子上推過去的習慣，所以流通使用的錢幣大多磨損厲害，品相不佳，而這枚錢幣之所以品相完美，是由於它的身份不同，是有慈禧太后賞賜而得的，一般都是拿來收藏，紀念，這才有了這枚完美品相的雙龍壽字幣，在錢幣收藏第一看發行量，再看品相，這枚銀幣不論是發行量極少，而且品相完美，這無疑使它成為錢幣收藏中的貴寵，在錢幣收藏領域是屬於極品寶錢，而在雙龍壽字幣中藏家更認可一兩的雙龍壽字幣，能見到真品的藏家極少，能收藏到此銀幣更是靠緣分了。
