Chapter 1751 Ancient Silver Coins

In the field of coin collection, Yuan Feilong coin is very famous and is one of the famous treasures in the silver dollar family.

The flying dragon commemorative coin records Yuan's modern history in my country. The not-so-glorious "restoration and proclaiming emperor" incident was also opposed and suppressed by the people of the whole country at that time.

This coin was made by the famous Italian sculptor Luerzhi George. It is one of the rarest and most precious coins among Yuan Yinyuan.

In 1916, Yuan Xiang commemorated the flying dragon commemorative silver medal of the Hongxian era of the Chinese Empire. The ordinary market value of this flying dragon coin is more than tens of thousands of yuan.

Those with slightly better quality can reach more than [-] yuan, and the high-quality goods range from hundreds of thousands to several million.

Chen Wenzhe compared these several high-quality "Yuan Feilong Commemorative Coins", trying to surpass the most valuable ones.

One of the extremely beautiful commemorative coins is the "L.GIORGI" signed version of the silver coin sample coin minted in 1916 by Yuan Xiang in the Hongxian era of the Chinese Empire.

This commemorative coin has lifelike carvings, details such as epaulets and medals, and exquisite craftsmanship, which is extremely rare.

Commemorative coins of this kind were once sold for 19895000 yuan at the spring auction of the three provinces in Jinling this year.

At the same time, it broke the transaction record of this coin, which is the highest price at present.

There are also some commemorative silver coins signed by the flying dragon "L.GIORGI" in the Hongxian era of the Chinese Empire. Not all such silver coins can be sold at sky-high prices.

However, how can Pupin sell 600 million.

If it is Yuan Xiang's one-yuan silver coin in the Hongxian era of the Chinese Empire, which was minted by the Jincheng Mint, this kind can be bought for more than 500 million.

This kind of silver coin is also very rare, with exquisite details, patina, and bright luster. An auction house sold it for 563 million yuan before.

In 1916, the Chinese Empire Yuanxiang Hongxian Era Flying Dragon Silver Coin, soaring to the sky crown version, had been sold before, and the price was 338 million yuan.

In 1916, Yuan Xiang commemorated the flying dragon of the Hongxian era of the Chinese Empire. Two of the cheapest coins ever appeared, both of which were almost 200 million.

One of the transactions was priced at 1943500 yuan, and the other was a 1916 silver coin commemorating the Hongxian Era of the Chinese Empire with a statue of a flying dragon on the back of Yuan Rong.

The casting mold of this silver coin is deep and clear, vivid and vivid, exquisitely crafted, the bottom plate is smooth and clean, the original flavor is light and colorful, and it is in first-class condition and appearance, which is very rare.

But at Dahai Hongsheng's 2021 autumn auction, he only sold for 1552500 yuan.

Of course, such a price cannot be said to be low, especially in the collection of silver coins.

"That's all for silver coins? In addition to gold coins, are there any silver coins in ancient times? There must be some. If there are, is there anyone hiding them?"

Chen Wenzhe became more greedy when he discovered that the group of tomb robbers had hidden more treasures.

Because he can pass through a point and see a large area of ​​clues.

And it can also be automatically queried, so he didn't mind and started to go back in time again, wanting to find more hidden treasures.

Sure enough, those people were professionals, and they really hid a lot of good things by category, such as ancient silver coins.

Don't think that in ancient my country, there were no national coins made of silver. You must know that since there are annual commemorative coins such as gold coins, why can't there be silver coins?
Coinage is a technology that has existed in our country for a long time, so after so many years, no one thinks about turning silver into professional currency?
There must be. The silver coins in ancient my country appeared very early.

At the latest in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, silver coins with a certain shape were produced.

In the mid-20s, buried coins wrapped in gold and silver foil lead cakes were unearthed from the Chu tomb in Jiangling, Beihu, indicating that the Chu State had already used silver coins in the form of round cakes.

In 1974, four silver shell coins were unearthed at the site of Zhongshan State during the Warring States Period in Beihe.

In the same year, 18 silver cloth coins were unearthed in Gucheng Village, Fugou County, Nanhe Province, including 1 empty head cloth and 17 flat head cloth coins, all of which were silver-cast coins of Chu State during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods.

There are two types of silver currency in my country: silver tael and silver dollar.

The silver dollar is the product of imitating foreign silver dollars in modern times, and silver taels are the weighing currency in ancient my country.

Silver must be inspected for its fineness, its weight weighed, and its value determined before it can be used as currency.

Its shape and specifications vary from time to time.

The ancient silver coins in my country mainly have rod (collar), round cake shape, flat (collar), horseshoe shape, boat shape, scale hammer shape and other shapes.

Before the Song Dynasty, it was often called a collar, and in the Song Dynasty it was changed to ingots, and after the Yuan Dynasty, it was generally called Yuanbao.

Silver coins in the Han Dynasty were mostly used in rewards, taxation, redemption, collection, or business with foreign countries.

The legal silver coin that was first seen in official documents was the third grade of platinum minted in the fourth year of Yuanshou (119 BC) by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

This kind of silver coin is made of silver-tin alloy, and its quality and color are pure white.

The first type is a round dragon coin with a dragon pattern on it, which is called "white selection", weighs eight taels, and is worth four and a half baht and three thousand copper coins each.

The other is a square ringgit with horse patterns on it, weighing six taels and worth five hundred.

There is another kind of tortoise coin with an oval shape, with the tortoise shell as the coin pattern, which weighs four taels and is worth three hundred, but it is a "virtual coin" and will be discarded soon.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang began to reform the currency system in the second year of Jushe (AD 7), and issued the second grade of "silver goods".

"Ordinary silver" is eight taels per flow, worth one thousand Wen.

"Zhu Tiyin" is worth 580 Wen per stream.

From the Wei, Jin to Sui dynasties, silver coins had been used within a certain range.

For example, in the inland trade in the late Southern and Northern Dynasties, more and more silver coins were used for large payments.

The main forms of silver coins in this period were silver collars and silver cakes.

In 1955, outside the Guanghua Gate of Jinling, two pieces of silver five baht were unearthed from the Six Dynasties Tomb at No. 5 Huangjiaying.

This is modeled on a copper coin and may not have been used for circulation.

During the Tang and Five Dynasties, silver had a tendency to officially enter circulation.

Some large payments are made in silver.

Others, such as taxation, rewards, pilgrimage, giving to monks, military expenditures, official salaries, atonement, gifts, relief and disaster relief, debts, etc., are also sometimes used in silver.

Especially in the Jiaoguang area of ​​Lingnan, "silver is used for buying and selling".

The silver coins of the Tang and Five Dynasties include collars, cakes, plates, wats, bamboo shoots, boat shapes and silver coins.

In 1970, 421 pieces of silver "Kaiyuan Tongbao" were unearthed in the Tang Dynasty cellar in Hejia Village, Chang'an. It was probably not a currency at that time.

In addition, An Yongtiao silver cakes, etc. were unearthed, which were tax-related silver taels.

In 1956, the Daming Palace in Chang'an, Shaanxi Province, unearthed 50 silver collars enshrined by Miao Fengqian and Yang Guozhong.

In 1962, a small silver collar was found in Guancun Temple, Lantian County, Western Shaanxi Province.

Most of these silver collars are engraved with inscriptions on the back of the face, the content is the name, official title, year and reason of the tribute.

The silver coin in the Song Dynasty has become a kind of national legal tender. It is widely used by the people and the government, and it is not restricted by the region.

However, in the Song Dynasty, silver had not fully acquired the two basic functions of value measure and means of circulation.
