bimetallism completely replaced the previous system notionally by this movement . これにより名目上も完全に金銀複本位制に移行した。
in this way , the system in which both silver and gold coins were set as standard currency is called bimetallism . このように、銀貨と金貨を共に本位貨幣とする制度を金銀複本位制という。
in 1878 , 1 yen silver coins were approved for circulation in japan , so that the system became bimetallism virtually . 1878年には1円銀貨の国内一般通用が認められ、事実上の金銀複本位制となった。
it means that bimetallism was practically adopted , though the new currency regulation announced the gold standard system . このため新貨条例では金本位制をうたっていながら、実質的には金銀複本位制を採ったことになる。
according to some reasons such as securing gold and silver metal , however , the bimetallism became a mere formality that only silver coins circulated . しかし、金銀地金の確保などの事情により、この金銀複本位制が形骸化して銀貨のみが流通した。
therefore , they had no choice but to adopt the gold and silver bimetallism , and had to maintain the balance by reminting coins whenever the balance was lost . そのため、金銀複本位制を採用せざるを得ず、なおかつバランスが崩れるとその度に改鋳を行ってバランスを維持しなければならなかった。
around 1877 , the amount of silver coins in circulation exceeded that of gold coins in the market , so okura-kyo (minister of the treasury ), okuma proposed to introduce bimetallism . 明治10年頃には市場では銀貨の流通量が金貨を上回るようになり、大蔵卿・大隈は金銀複本位制の導入を建議するにいたる。
furthermore , in the next year , japan had to equalize the exchange ratio that , in the open ports , had been 100 yen silver coin to 101 yen gold coin , thus choosing a virtual gold and silver bimetallism . 翌年には開港場で行われていた銀貨100円に対して金貨101円の金銀比価を両者同等に改めて実質上の金銀複本位制となった。
although the new currency regulation stipulated the gold standard system , bimetallism was practically used since the gold standard system wa snot put into practice because of the currency circumstances at home and abroad . 新貨条例は金本位制を制定したものであったが、実際には国内外の貨幣事情から、その後も金本位制は実現せず、事実上は金銀複本位制が実態となった。
