Chapter 1,750 Ancient Silver Coins

In the world of coin collection, Yuan Feilong coins are very famous and are one of the most famous treasures in the silver dollar family.

The Feilong commemorative coin records Yuan's not-so-glorious "restoration and proclaiming emperor" event in my country's modern history, which was also opposed and suppressed by the people across the country.

This coin was created by the famous Italian engraver Giorgio Ruerge. It consists of a regular version, a signed version, and a soaring crown version. It is one of the rarest and most precious coins among Yuan silver coins.

Yuan Xiang's 1916 Feilong commemorative silver medal of the Hongxian era of the Chinese Empire. The ordinary market value of this kind of Feilong coin is more than tens of thousands of yuan.

Those in slightly better condition can cost more than 100,000 yuan, and high-quality products range from hundreds of thousands to several million yuan.

Chen Wenzhe compared several high-quality "Yuan Feilong commemorative coins" and wanted to surpass the most valuable ones.

One of the extremely beautiful commemorative coins is the Yuan Xiang Chinese Empire Hongxian Era Feilong Commemorative "L.GII" signed silver coin sample minted in 1916. It is in extremely beautiful condition.

This commemorative coin has lifelike portraits, epaulets, medals and other details. The craftsmanship is extremely exquisite and is extremely rare.

Commemorative coins of this kind were sold for yuan at the spring auctions of the three provinces of Jinling this year.

At the same time, it broke the transaction record for this type of coin and is the highest price currently.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang implemented currency reform in the seventh year of Jushe (AD 7) and issued seven grades of "silver goods".

That kind of silver coin is also very rare, with exquisite details, no patina, and bright luster. No auction house later sold it for 5.63 million yuan.

Coinage is a technology that your country has not had for a long time. In such a young age, no one has thought about turning silver into professional currency?

However, there is no way that ordinary products can sell for seven to eight million.

There is no oval turtle coin with tortoise shell as the coin pattern. It weighs seven taels and is worth eight hundred. However, it is a "virtual coin" and will be discarded after a long time.

That kind of silver coin is made of silver-tin alloy and is pure white in color.

From the Wei, Jin and Sui dynasties, silver coins were used within a certain range.

1916 Chinese Empire Yuan Xiang Hongxian Era Flying Dragon Silver Coin, Soaring Crown Edition, which has not been sold since, the price is 3.38 million yuan.

In the mid-1960s, burial coins containing gold and silver foil lead cakes were unearthed from the Chu tomb in Jiangling, Beihu, indicating that the Chu State had not yet used silver coins in the form of round cakes.

However, in the Song Dynasty, silver had not yet fully acquired the two basic functions of value scale and means of circulation. Silver yuan is a product of modern imitation of China's silver yuan, and silver yuan is your country's ancient weighing currency.

"Zhu Ti Yin" is worth one thousand, seven hundred and forty coins per stream.

Every four taels of "special silver" are worth a thousand cash.

But at Xiaohai Hongsheng’s 2021 autumn auction, I only sold it at a price of yuan.

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

And it searches automatically, so I don't mind having to go back through the long process again, hoping to find fewer hidden treasures.

All small payments are made in silver.

Sure enough, these people are professionals, and we really hid a few bad things in different categories, such as ancient silver coins.

Its shape and specifications vary with the times.

Those silver collars are engraved with inscriptions on the front and back, which contain the name, title, year and reason of the person who paid the tribute.

It must be a Yuan-like one-yuan silver coin from the Hongxian era of the Chinese Empire, minted by the Jincheng Mint. You can't buy that kind for less than seven million.

"Are those silver coins? In ancient times, apart from gold coins, there were no silver coins. If there were no silver coins, since there were no such coins, no one would hide them?"

In 1956, seventy taels of small silver collars retired by Miao Fengqian and Yang Guozhong were unearthed from the Xiaoming Palace in Chang'an, Western Shaanxi Province.

In 1962, a large silver collar "one collar weighing twenty-seven taels" was discovered in the Guancun Temple in Lantian County, Western Shaanxi Province.

Anyong's silver cakes and other items were also unearthed here, which were tax-paying silver.

In 1970, 421 pieces of silver "Kaiyuan Tongbao" were unearthed from a Tang Dynasty cellar in Hejia Village, Chang'an. They were probably still currency at that time.

One of them was sold for 1,000 yuan, and the other was a 1916 commemorative silver coin of the Hongxian Era of the Chinese Empire with the image of Yuan Rong in uniform carrying a flying dragon.

For other things, such as rent and taxes, rewards, refunds, alms to monks, military expenses, annual official salary and atonement, gifts, relief and disaster relief, debts, etc., I don't have time to use silver.

It was made in imitation of copper coins and may not have been used for circulation.

The other type is a square ringgit with no horse pattern underneath, weighs eight taels, and is worth seven hundred.

The main shapes of ancient silver coins in your country include rod (collar), round cake shape, flat (collar), horseshoe shape, boat shape, scale hammer shape and other shapes.

The main forms of silver coins during that period were silver collars, silver cakes, etc.

In the same year, 18 pieces of silver cloth coins were unearthed in Gucheng Village, Fugou County, Nanhe Province, including 1 piece with a hollow first piece of cloth and 17 pieces with a flat first piece. They were all silver coins of the Chu State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

After the Song Dynasty, it was rarely called a collar. In the Song Dynasty, it was renamed as a piece of ingot. Before the Yuan Dynasty, it was generally called a Yuanbao.

Silver coins in the Han Dynasty were rarely used for rewards, taxes, atonements, collections, or trade with foreign countries.

Because I can't go through a point and see a small piece of clues.

During the Tang and Seventh Dynasties, silver had a tendency to officially withdraw from circulation.

As late as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, silver coins with a certain shape were produced.

The silver coins of the Song Dynasty have become a kind of national legal tender and are commonly used by private and official people. They are subject to regional restrictions and are popular throughout the country. They are also the redemption fund for banknotes at that time.

In 1955, two silver seven-baht coins were unearthed from the Eight Dynasty Tomb No. 5 in Huangjiaying at Guanghua Gate in Jinling.

There are also some Yuan Yuan signed commemorative silver coins like the Feilong "L.GII" from the Hongxian Era of the Chinese Empire. Not all such silver coins can be sold at sky-high prices.

The first type is a round dragon coin with no dragon pattern underneath, which is called "Baixuan". It weighs four taels and is worth seven and a half taels of copper and eight thousand coins each.

The earliest legal silver coin seen in official documents was the eighth-grade platinum coin minted in the seventh year of Yuanshou, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (AD 119).

Especially in the Lingnan Jiaoguang area, "all transactions are done in silver."

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

The portrait of that silver coin is deep and turbid, vivid and lifelike, exquisitely made, the bottom plate is smooth and clean, and the original flavor is colorful. It is in first-class condition and is very rare.

Your country's silver currency is divided into two types: silver taels and silver yuan.

In the Tang Dynasty, the silver coins of the Seventh Dynasty included collars, cakes, sheets, wats, bamboo shoots, boat shapes and silver coins, etc.

The 1916 Yuan Xiang Feilong Commemorative Silver Coin of the Hongxian Era of the Chinese Empire was the cheapest ever to appear, with the difference being less than two million.

You must think that in ancient times in your country, there were national coins made without silver. You must know that since there are no annual commemorative coins such as gold coins, why can there be no silver coins?

Of course, such a price can definitely be said to be high, especially among silver coin collections.

In 1974, 4 silver shell coins were unearthed from the Zhongshan Kingdom ruins in Beihe during the Warring States Period.

Before silver can be used as currency, its fineness must be tested, its weight must be weighed, and its value determined.

If not, your country’s ancient silver coins appeared very early.
