Chapter 707 Coin Collection - Fifty Treasures
This Qing Dynasty treasure map possessed unparalleled wealth.
Among them, antiques are mostly rare, while yellow and white objects are rare.
Zhou Rui didn't know why this treasure was left behind.
But what is certain is that the owner of this treasure must be not simple.
Among the treasures are jade bi from the Warring States Period, bronze ware, bronze ware from the Western Han Dynasty, and pottery jars.
Of course, the most are items from the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.
Whether it is porcelain or gold and silver jewelry.
Most of the coins were from the Qing Dynasty, and some other dynasties also came from.
Among the dazzling array of coins, Zhou Rui selected twenty-four coins of fifty treasures.
Of course, there are repetitions among these twenty-four.
The most of them are Chongqing Yuanbao, with a total of eight.
Chongqing Yuanbao was cast during the Chongqing period of King Shao of Jinwei and was cast in bronze. There are two types of Yuanbao and Tongbao.
Yuanbao is a seal script that is five major coins, which is folded five, with a diameter of 3.5 cm; Tongbao has two types of small flat, folded two, and the money text is made of thin gold style.
There are very few Chongqing Yuanbaos, and some books call them "orphans". In fact, it is understood that there are five or six authentic products preserved nationwide.
The historical records of Chongqing Yuanbao are not recorded.
Only an isolated product was unearthed in Liao, which was as big as five folds, and its shape was similar to that of Taihe Chongbao. The four characters "Chongqing Yuanbao" were made of jade-rod seal script, and it was read in a spin, with no text on the back. The money was copper-colored in blue and white, and it was finely made and beautiful. It imitated the Chongning currency system, but it was still craftsmanship.
Many spring families in Beijing and Shanghai have reviewed them as fakes, while the numismatician Zheng Jiaxiang believes that they belong to Jinquan.
In addition to Chongqing Yuanbao, there are three Yuande Jinbao.
Yuande Chongbao was minted during the Yuande period of Emperor Chongzong of Western Xia. The format is a two-type coin. The coin is written in regular script, with a diameter of generally 2.7 cm. There are only two or three pieces in existence today, and there is no price. Emperor Chongzong also casts the "Yuande Tongbao" coins.
Very rare.
Twenty-four fifty treasures, including eight Chongqing Yuanbao, three Yuande Chongbao, four Jingkang Tongbao, five Zhizheng Bao, three Qianheng Tongbao and the last Tianqi Tongbao.
Each of these coins can be regarded as a first-class cultural relic.
The main reason is that there are few remaining.
So it seems precious.
Zhou Rui still remembers that at an auction, a pair of stamps were sold at a sky-high price.
Later, the person who received the stamps bidding to tear one of them to pieces.
Then he said to the people below.
"From now on, there is only one such stamp in the world."
And that stamp became an orphan.
Not only did it not reduce, but the price was higher.
Why?
Isn't it because this is an orphan?
"Jingkang Tongbao" and "Jingkang Yuanbao" were cast during the reign of Emperor Qinzong of the Northern Song Dynasty. He was captured to the north after 16 months of reign.
Therefore, the amount of money cast in "Jingkang" is very small, and "Jingkang Tongbao" is even more rare, and is a national first-class cultural relic.
Among the hundreds of thousands of coins, there are only four Jingkang Tongbao, but there is no shadow of Jingkang Yuanbao.
Zhizheng's treasure was minted during the Zhizheng period of Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty. They were all large coins, which represented the parallel connection between banknotes and banknotes.
The money is thick and well-made. It has a variety of types such as ten, twenty, thirty, fifty, etc.
The face text "Zhizhengzhibao" is Duanli regular script and is read directly.
The back is made of "Ancient" and is a record of the production of Ji'an Road, Jiangxi Province. The two words "Quan Chu" on the right can be used as a silver banknote. The right is the value of silver. There are five types of "wu fen", "one qian", "one qian wu fen", "two qian wu fen" and "wu fen". "wu fen" is worth half a tael of silver banknotes and five hundred copper coins, which is the largest "Quan Chuan Chuan"; the diameter reaches 8 cm and weighs about 120 grams, which is the largest square hole round coins that have appeared in history. It is exercised with copper coins, also known as "Zhizheng Quan Chuan". The style of the money is particularly handsome and smooth, and is the same as the calligraphy of "Zhizheng Tongbao". These types of copper coins are relatively rare and have a very high price.
······
Even across the country, it is not common.
This also leads to its price rising.
Moreover, many wealthy collectors want to collect it, but they can’t buy it with money.
Finally, it was Tianqi Tongbao. Zhou Rui searched through all the coins, only one.
What's even more frustrating is that there is a scratch on it, like a scar.
I don't know if it was a bump or why.
Tianqi Tongbao, the Tianqi Tongbao with the character on the back, was from the Ming Dynasty. Ming Guangzong did not mint coins. Because he was reigned for only a few months and had not minted coins, his son Xizong of Ming first cast his father's year name "Taichang" coins, called "Taichang Tongbao".
This money is a small flat money, read directly in real books, with a light red copper color, and there are also brass coins. There are not many versions, including the back moon and back star money, and the money diameter is 2.9 cm, which is as big as a wide sample money with a folded two cents; there are also small money with a currency diameter of 2.3-2.4 cm.
Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty casts Taichang Tongbao coins for only one year, and the following year it started to cast "Tianqi Tongbao". In the same year, the Baoquan Bureau of the Ministry of Revenue was established, called "Qianfatang". From then on, the Ministry of Revenue was in charge of minting coins. The coins minted were mainly used for military supplies. The army's minting furnace was only retained in the northwest of the three towns, and the southeast of the southeast were all abolished. At this time, three coin centers were formed in the country, namely the two capitals and Sichuan. However, in the third year of the Tianqi period, the eunuch Wei Zhongxian was the tyrannical authority, and the eunuchs were in chaos in politics, and the abuse of minting appeared again. Local money bureaus appeared in large numbers, so there were many versions of the minting coins, with great differences.
Qian Wenwen appeared in large quantities in the form of recording the land, recording bureau, recording heavyweights, etc. It only appeared in the Wanli period before, but the version was limited.
Therefore, the complex period of the Ming Dynasty's currency system began during the Tianqi period. In order to make up for the financial deficit, the Tianqi period still used increasing the amount of minting to solve the problem.
Under such circumstances, the money-saving bureaus across the country are abusing money and making money, making it easier to make profits. A large amount of light and inferior money is mixed with official money to make money, which is in sharp contrast with the tradition of making money in the early Ming Dynasty that strives to be refined and beautiful.
"Tianqi Tongbao" was initially cast into small flat coins, and then cast as ten coins.
In the fifth year of Tianqi, because the large coins were too much and too bad, the order was stopped. The court issued silver to be recycled as ten coins, and the large coins were cast for only three years. The coins were originally weighed one qian and three cents, and the thousand qian weighed eight jin and eight jin. However, later, due to the excessive abuse of official casting, the small coins weighed only seven cents, and the thousand qian weighed only four jin and eight jin, with less than 30% copper content. In addition, there is a kind of "shake money" that was cast with Japanese lead and tin pins melted into copper with a broken color. It was cast at this time.
The Tianqi Xiaoping coins are divided into two categories: "Writes in the back" and "Writes in the back". The back of the back is more complicated than that of the Wanli coins, and there are more types of back of the back of the back of the back of the back of the back of the stars and moon patterns; the back of the back of the back of the back is divided into heavy records, recording events, recording bureaus, and recording grounds. The memorization is the word "in accordance with the order", which means that eunuchs and ministers at that time do things and make money under the order.
"Tianqi Tongbao" small flat coins not only recite a lot of text, but also include the size of characters, the level of characters, the width of the characters, and the structure of the money text is also very different, and it is very complex and changeable. "Tianqi Tongbao" is divided into two categories: "Tianqi Tongbao" when it is ten coins, and it is memorized without writing and has written text. If it is two kinds of coins, it is mostly memorized without writing, and it is less common in the world. Both kinds of coins are rare.
Xu Shouhui, the leader of the Red Turban Army of the Southern Uprising Army at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, cast the "Tianqi Tongbao Coin" in 1358 AD. The coin is of copper texture, with small flat coins, two coins and three coins in style. There are two types of coins in regular script and seal script. Since it only took a year from release to stop casting, the Yuan Tianqi Tongbao is relatively rare, especially the seal script, three coins in the first-class quality, which is a divine product that can be encountered but cannot be found; while the Tomorrow Tianqi coins have more layouts, including small flat coins, two coins, three coins, five coins, and more than ten coins in the form of ten coins. The texture is also brass, but the coins are all regular script.
Yuan Tianqi coins are light back, while Ming Tianqi coins are rich and colorful. The characters are: sun, moon, worker, household, Zhejiang, Beijing, Xin, etc., and the diary values are two, ten, eleven, and twelve. Of course, light back is still common.
Zhou Rui’s hand was the three Tianqi coins in Yuan seal script, which was a magical product!
