5 mins confidence:  
27 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): +2 ten thousand yuan format (edition/version)
Explanation:
版 = format, edition, version
Personally, I think 'format' in the best translation in this context.

2 hrs confidence: 10,000 Yuan edition, 20,000 Yuan edition etc.
Explanation:
With only limited context given, I tend to interpret this as a reprint of a Yuan (dynasty) edition of some book, i.e. quantity of reprints, not money/dollars.
In the following sample sentences, please note that in old Chinese, the words 板 and 版 were interchangeable.

Hi Joyce, I just want to add that my initial thought was to interpret 元 as meaning 'first' or 'primary', e.g. 元配，元首. But when I search for examples of 元版,in this sense, a 'first edition', I could only find what I have already provided. It seems that this simple word as used in your case is highly context dependent. Hope this helps..
Example sentence(s):- Quoted from 图书馆学季刊 第五卷第一期 p. 22 - 宋版翻刻者曰‘覆宋本' ... 以元板翻刻者曰'覆元本'
- Quoted from Wu Mengfu '古书读校法’- 宋刻墨色香淡。。 元版书，有人斥其。。’
