My system is not decent

Chapter 1749 Treasures in Coins
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the price of copper rose sharply, and the folks turned money into copper in order to obtain several times the profit, and there was a shortage of money in the market.

Due to the suspension of casting and making money in Guangdong Province, the market for making money is running out day by day, and the circulation of small amounts is very inconvenient.

In order to save the money shortage and at the same time influenced by Hong Kong copper coins and foreign currencies, in June of the 26th year of Guangxu, Governor De Shou of Guangdong and Guangxi and former Governor Li Hongzhang approved Guangdong Province to imitate Hong Kong copper coins.

Therefore, the casting of mechanism copper coins in the Qing Dynasty began in Guangdong Province.

Then Hu Jian, Jiangsu, Sichuan and other provinces successively imitated copper coins.

Copper coins are made of 97%-98.3% red copper, 0.1% white lead, 1% tin and other combinations. Each piece weighs two coins and is worth ten coins.

In the center of the front is "Guangxu Yuanbao" and "Baoguang" in Manchu, with a bead circle on the outer ring, and the upper edge of the script is "Made in Beihu Province".

The text of the lower margin is "Dang Ten";
On the back, there is a picture of "Flying Dragon" and a bead ring cast in the center, with the English date "KWANGTUNG" on the upper edge and the English date "ONECENT" on the lower edge.

There is also Guangxu Yuanbao at that time, with "Guangxu Yuanbao" on the front, Manchu and the Ministry of Household (or province name) on the outer edge, and twenty characters for making money on the bottom.

Beihu Province pioneered copper coins in my country. In the following 50 years, copper coins were produced in large quantities, and the total number should be tens of billions.

Unofficial privately cast ordinary copper coins are of low value.

Because the machine-made copper coins are better cast than the square hole copper coins, the market is happy to use them and the circulation is smooth.

The following year, the government ordered the provinces along the river and coast to allow imitation casting.

Since then, all parts of the country have started to cast copper coins.

Therefore, the copper coins were cast in different places at that time, which is the most obvious feature to distinguish different copper coins at that time.

Among the Guangxu Yuanbao, the most rare one is the Shuanglongshou coin made in Guangdong Province: Kuping weighs one or two, and it is worth collecting.

In addition, there are Guangxu Yuanbao made by the Sichuan Government Bureau, each of which is worth [-] Wen. This kind of Guangxu Yuan Bao made by the Sichuan Government Bureau is [-] Wen copper coins.

Chen Wenzhe saw such a copper coin in the collection of those tomb robbers.

Of course, there are also many other copper coins in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, such as Xuantong's, Guangxu's, and some of the more valuable ones in the Republic of China, all of which are here.

Of course, the most precious one should be this one, the Guangxu Yuanbao [-] Wen copper coin made by the Sichuan Government Bureau.

This kind of copper coin with "Baochuan" in Manchu in the center is extremely rare, and the one that Chen Wenzhe saw is an extremely beautiful one, which is even more rare.

The reason why this rare copper coin appears is entirely because of a casting error, which is also considered a wrong coin!
The Chuanfu Tongyuan Bureau was established in the 28th year of Guangxu, that is, in 1902, and started casting copper yuan in June of the following year.

At that time, the Tongyuan Bureau used a set of five-character, ten-character and twenty-character copper coins to imitate Hu Jian's copper coin.

Hu Jian Tongyuan Bureau was established in the 26th year of Guangxu.

When the Sichuan Copper Yuan Bureau first imitated the copper coins, it did not change the Manchu "Baofu" to "Baochuan", which caused great mistakes.

It may be that the sculptors of the Tongyuan Bureau of Sichuan Prefecture at that time did not know Manchu.

Officials of the Tongyuan Bureau of Houchuan Prefecture discovered this mistake and immediately recast it.

Therefore, this kind of copper coin is rare. In addition, this kind of copper coin has fine copper quality, good color and exquisite appearance. If it is well preserved, it must be a treasure among coins.

Chen Wenzhe looked at the copper coin carefully. It was neither a gold coin nor a silver coin, but a copper coin. Among the copper coins, this precious one is rare.

I saw its money face: "Guangxu Yuanbao" in Chinese in the bead circle, "made by Sichuan government bureau" in the upper circle outside the circle, and "twenty coins for each coin" in the lower circle.

Money back: the center is the panlong picture.

It is exquisite in appearance and is a treasure.

Similar coins appeared in Shendu Poly Auction Company, Autumn Auction (2014-7.17), Miscellaneous Special Auction in 18.

It was a Guangxu Yuanbao made by the Sichuan government. The starting price was 78 yuan. After several rounds of bidding, it was finally hammered down at 268 million yuan.

Among the modern copper coins, it is rare that the price can reach 80 million.

Chen Wenzhe knows some things, such as the [-] Wen Trial Casting Sample Coins of Qing Dynasty Copper Coins in the Three Years of Xuantong.

This kind of thick copper coin was cast by the Jincheng Mint General Factory of Duzhi Branch. It has not been issued and is extremely rare in the world;
This kind of copper coin has a deep casting mold, exquisite embossing, natural and uniform coating, and bright copper light on the bottom of the plate.

Of course, the price is not cheap. It once appeared in the auction house again, and finally sold for 82 yuan.

This is a 1909 Jiyou Daqing copper coin with the five characters "Bian" in the center of this coin, which is a trial coin.

This kind of copper coin has a smooth edge, and it was tried to be minted by the Mint Bian Factory of Du Branch. It has not been issued, and the amount of casting is very small. It is extremely rare in the world.

Therefore, all the elders in the spring world regard it as a treasure of copper coins in the Qing Dynasty;
In October of the 30th year of Guangxu (1904), when the Kaifeng Bureau was established, the scale was small, with only six minting machines.

Later, it was increased to nine, and the output of "Guangxu Yuanbao" copper coins cast was moderate.

Therefore, there were very few sample coins that were tried to be minted that year, because there was no large-scale printing itself.

This copper coin of the 30th year of Xuantong (1902) issued during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty is the best among modern coins in my country.

Among them, the value of copper-nickel and red copper trial coins is very high.

In particular, red copper trial coins are even rarer, and their market value has reached tens of thousands of yuan.

The obverse pattern of Xuantong's 30-year copper coin is the four characters "made in Xuantong year".

In the center is a panlong pattern, and on the back is a panlong pattern and the words "one or two".

Most of the Xuansanwen we see are made of brass, while the cupronickel and red copper trial coins are treasures that coin collectors dream of.

As far as we know, there are very few mints of copper-nickel and red copper trial coins, among which red copper trial coins are the rarest.

Therefore, the scarcity and preciousness of these trial coins in the collection market are very high, and their market value has also risen accordingly.

For example, at an auction last year, the price of a red copper Xuan Thirty Wenshi coin was as high as 5 yuan.

Although the market value of trial coinage is already high, its value may continue to rise as market conditions change.

Therefore, if you have Xuantong 30-year copper coins in your hand, it is recommended that you check carefully to see if there are cupronickel or red copper trial coins.

If there is, it is a considerable fortune!
Copper coins minted in Sichuan Province have also attracted much attention in the field of coin collection.

Among them, in the 15th year of the Republic of China, the 19 Wen copper coins in Chuanbei Jiahe, and the [-] Wen copper coins cast in the [-]th year of the Republic of China are very precious.

In the 15th year of the Republic of China, the central Chuanbei Jiahe [-] Wen copper coin is a copper coin minted by the Mint of Chuanfu Province, with a face value of [-] Wen.

The pattern on the front of the copper coin is Jiahe pattern, and on the back are the words Zhongchuan and the year name.

Due to the early issuance of the copper coin, the appearance is relatively rare, and the appearance of the copper coins made in Sichuan Province is generally poor.

Therefore, the value of the central Chuanbei Jiahe copper coin with good quality is very high.

At the previous auction, a better-looking reddish-brown center Chuanbei Jiahe copper coin sold for a high price of 46000 yuan.
