My identity as a collector was exposed by the village flower

Chapter 148 Qin Banliang's Mother Money
The content of the conversation between Fang Xing and Jiang Wanyu was not exposed.

Everyone only knows that Fang Xing and Christie's had a disagreement, and now they are flirting with Jiade.

Another day later, the appraiser from Guardian Auction House arrived.Ever since Jiang Wanyu reported that Fang Xing had a batch of treasures from the Afang Palace of the Qin State, as well as the Suihou Pearl, Jiade paid great attention to it.

Suihou Pearl, to put it bluntly, may be Ye Mingzhu.

According to records, Suihou beads glow at night and can illuminate a room.

Isn't this characteristic the night pearl?
There are high and low luminous pearls. Some luminous pearls are indeed rare treasures, and some are just ordinary fluorites, which are of low value and may even radiate, which is not good for health.

Suihou pearls and Cixi luminous pearls belong to the top luminous pearls and are priceless.

Leaving aside Suihouzhu, it is absolutely extraordinary that it is known as the Second Treasure of the Spring and Autumn Period.

As for Cixi Ye Mingzhu, the book "The Theft of Cixi Mausoleum" contains: "No. 80 Ye Ming Pearl weighs four taels and seven cents, and is worth [-] million taels." "

In other words, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, this orb was worth more than 1000 million taels of silver.Up to now, some people have estimated that the value has increased by at least ten times.

ten times.

That is more than 1 million taels of silver, converted into RMB, how much is that?It's scary just thinking about it.

As an older orb, the value of the Suihou bead is not at all lower than that of the Cixi night pearl.Therefore, the people at Guardian Auction Company were all excited.

Once it is put up for auction, what kind of sky-high price will it fetch?

I'm afraid it can set the highest auction record in China, right?

They just thought it was worth the price of establishing a fixed auction site in Yunwu Village.Even now, no one knows what other treasures the Fang family has.

"Suihou Zhu? Is it true or not?" Cui Mingzhu was startled.

I think I have seen countless rare treasures, but Suihou Zhu is too scary, okay?That is the second treasure of spring and autumn!Sui State was destroyed by Chu State, to a large extent, because of Sui Hou Zhu.

What treasures does your old Fang family have?
"Preface to Lanting Collection", BJ human skull fossils, bronze statues of animal heads of the twelve zodiac signs, blue and white flowers from Yuan Dynasty, all of these are rare treasures.Now, Suihou beads are still popping up.

Cui Mingzhu couldn't understand Fang's family more and more.

She finally understood why her grandfather always said that the Fang family was the head of their family.You never know how many treasures the Fang family has collected over the years.

"Aunt Cui, let's watch together!"

Fang Xing didn't talk nonsense, and struggled to move out a big box.

Open the box and take out a box from inside.

Just when everyone thought that this was the Suihou Pearl, they opened the box, only to find an ancient copper coin lying inside.

"Come on, everyone appreciate this thing first."

"Qin Banliang?" The appraiser from Jiade had good eyesight and immediately recognized the thing in front of him.

Square hole round money first appeared in the Warring States period, but it is easy to make and has holes for easy wearing and hanging.

After the unification of the Qin Dynasty, gold was used as the upper currency, and half-two coins with square holes and circles were used as the lower currency. Since then, the square-hole and round coins have been kept in China for more than 2000 years.This shape reflects the cosmology of the ancient Chinese with a round sky and a square earth, and it is easy to carry and wear.Banliang money was still used in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and its characteristics are: the pre-Qin half Liang, the characters are slightly hidden, and the strokes have square folds and round folds.

The emergence of "Qin Banliang" marks the unification of Qin Shihuang's currency and the initial maturity of ancient Chinese coins. It is a milestone in the development of Chinese currency and affects neighboring countries and regions. It has extraordinary significance. historical meaning.

In the collection and auction of ancient coins, Qin Banliang has a certain status.

In recent years, Qin Banliang has grown from 10,000+ to more than 300 million.

Fang Xing smiled: "Look carefully."

The appraiser frowned, and finally a look of shock appeared on his face: "This is Qin Banliang's mother's money."

As we all know, mother money is the standard model money made by the central and local finances when a large number of coins were cast in ancient times.The use of mother money as a model can be divided into three types, namely, money samples, carved mother money and cast mother money.

The coin sample is a physical model of the coin carefully carved with tin, ivory or mahogany according to the design of the coin. Its purpose is to present it to the imperial court for the emperor's approval.Strictly speaking, the money sample cannot be counted as a coin, because it is only used as a physical pattern for examination and approval, and cannot be circulated.

The carved mother money is very sophisticated. The carved mothers seen today are all made of golden yellow copper, which is a high-quality copper material.The money inscriptions of the copper carving mother are very exquisite, with deep words.There are no traces of knives on the carved mother money, which is slightly larger and thicker than the money in circulation in the same edition.

Qin Banliang was inherently precious, and the preciousness of Qin Banliang's mother's money is self-evident.

It took the appraiser more than ten minutes to finally confirm that this is Qin Banliang's mother's money, which is extremely valuable.

He gave an estimate: starting at 500 million.

This will refresh the auction record for ancient Chinese coins.

Before that, the most expensive money was Qianlong imperial blessing money, more than 4000 million, which was auctioned by their Guardian.However, this is a set with twelve pieces.

The twelve earthly branches are chiseled inside the money, and Qian Wen selects blessing words related to the country and the country.According to the order of earthly branches, they are: "Peace in the world, long-term security and long-term governance, good government and harmony, peace and sweet rain, country and people's peace, uprightness, blessings from heaven, long-term blessings, longevity and prosperity, auspicious Ankang, purple air coming from the east, longevity without boundaries", and the back is corresponding Manchu.

On average, the value of one piece is about 400 million.

They even got Qin's carved mother's money, and they finally believed that Fang Xing really had a batch of treasures from the Qin Dynasty and before that.

"It's good, I want it." Cui Mingzhu closed the box and got it in his hand.

What else is up for auction?She directly gave the highest price of 700 million.

The auction probably won't fetch this price.

This made the people in Guardian dissatisfied, but there was nothing they could do.Not to mention the power of the Cui family, they dare not offend.Just because Fang Xing calls this person Aunt Cui, the relationship is unusual, what can they do?
"Take it if you want!" Fang Xing didn't care too much.

Cui Mingzhu is a bit domineering, but she has never let her suffer, so Fang Xing has a good impression of her.

Afterwards, pieces of exquisite bronze vessels were taken out.

The appraiser could easily see that it was indeed Qin Chao's object.Look at that style, it is something in the palace.So, they began to believe that it might really be the treasure in Efang Palace.

One of the wine bottles caught the appraiser's attention, just like admiring a peerless beauty.

This is the most exquisite bronze wine bottle he has seen since he was engaged in appraisal work. It is estimated that it is not much more than the state-level cultural relic Bronze Jue in the Palace Museum, right?

"Good baby, really good baby!" The appraiser kept muttering.
