Daqi Tongbao was the first Southern Tang coin minted by Li Bian, the founding emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty. It was called "Daqi Tongbao" because the Emperor of Wu had named him King of Qi before he abdicated to him. Bi Ci Hu
It has been registered online, so when he ascended to the throne of the emperor, the country was named "Daqi". Because the country was named "Daqi" for a short time, and the mintage of this coin was small and fine, there are only a handful of coins that have been handed down to this day, so it is extremely precious and rare.
Regarding the Daqi Tongbao, there are only three extant Daqi Tongbao. One of them has a corner missing in the upper right corner, so it is also called the 'Missing Corner Daqi'; the other Daqi Tongbao has four holes drilled on it, so it is also called
'Four Eyes Together'; this last Daqi Tongbao is the one Meng Xin is holding now.
There are also allusions to the "Crescent Da Qi" and "Four Eyes Da Qi". The "Crescent Da Qi" appeared in the late Qing Dynasty and was acquired by a famous person from Jiangnan at that time. Someone offered a high price at that time, but he was not far away.
After the Taiping Army invaded Hangzhou, the owner of "Quanjiao Daqi" committed suicide by drowning himself. It is said that he buried "Quanjiao Daqi" underneath before he died. Later, many people went to buy his house, but none of them
I couldn't find this 'Missing Corner Daqi'...
Compared with the 'missing angles', the 'four eyes' are even more legendary. In the 1920s, two scholars were doing research in rural areas of Jiangxi and happened to see several children playing kickball among farmers.
Shuttlecock, it turned out that the shuttlecock just happened to fall in front of two scholars. I don’t know if it was God’s will or a coincidence. The shuttlecock had been used for a long time and fell apart. The feathers were scattered on the ground. The two scholars were also enthusiastic and helped to make the shuttlecock again. As a result,
I discovered that the base used for making shuttlecocks was actually a 'Da Qi Tong Bao'...
Because this 'Da Qi Tong Bao' was made into a shuttlecock base, there are four small holes in the center of the entire coin, so it is also called 'Four Eyes Da Qi'...
The above information is from Young Master Tang’s appraisal of the Daqi Tongbao in Meng Xin’s hand...
It’s so hard to find treasures. Except for the Daqi Tongbao I just discovered, the other two are missing arms and legs. They are not considered rare yet. If this one were taken out, I’m afraid it would be no less.
With an earthquake...
Young Master Tang began to look forward to the remaining three coins. Although the first ancient coin was also among the fifty treasures, it was considered a treasure compared to the ancient coins. However, it was far from rare. After all, although there are very few of them in existence, it is still a treasure.
It can still be seen in the hands of some museums and private collectors, but this Daqi Tongbao is different. The 'Missing Corner Daqi' can no longer be found, and now only the 'Four Eyes Daqi' and the 'Four Eyes Daqi' are left.
This is a complete Daqi Tongbao. Things are rare and valuable. I hope there will be another ancient coin similar to Daqi Tongbao among the remaining three...
After Meng Xin carefully observed the Da Qi Tong Bao in his hand, he kept muttering: "Da Qi Tong Bao, really, the third one, and it is complete..."
When Meng Xing saw this, he thought his sister was crazy and hurriedly grabbed her shoulders and shook her a few times...
"Quickly, let's see what the remaining three are." Meng Xin reacted after being shaken by Meng Xing and asked hurriedly.
Wang Jun didn't say anything, and directly placed the three coins in his hand on the table for everyone to watch.
Upon seeing this, Meng Xin also placed the ancient coins in his hand on the table. Yongping Yuanbao and Daqi Tongbao were lined up one after another, and the five copper coins were placed flat together.
In addition to the previous two Yongping Yuanbao and Daqi Tongbao, the remaining three are "Da Song Tongbao", "Baoning Tongbao" and "Chongqing Yuanbao".
"The Fifty Treasures are all ancient coins among the Fifty Treasures. Wang Jun, you are so powerful, wow..."
Looking at the five coins on the table, Meng Xin walked directly in front of Wang Jun and slapped him on the face...
Everyone who looked at them was stunned, and Wang Jun even turned red in a rare moment...
I'm sorry to say that in other aspects, Wang Jun may be able to do it, but this is probably the first time for Wang Jun, a man and a woman who has experienced battles for a long time...
Meng Xing saw his sister's reckless behavior, but didn't say anything. It was a good thing to marry the Wang family, and they were a good match. It happened that the two of them were in love, so where could they find such a good brother-in-law...
"Meng Xin, you're so 'sneak attack' on me, at least you should prepare me." Wang Jia smiled and touched the place where he was hit.
Meng Xin's cheeks were slightly red when she heard this. Although she had lived abroad for a long time and was more influenced by open ideas abroad, because she grew up in China, she was still relatively conservative in her bones. This time it was also because she saw these fifty treasures.
, I was too happy, that’s why I made such a move...
"Brother Wang, Miss Meng Xin is showing her love to you, why are you so ignorant?" Young Master Tang pretended to be teasing.
Wang Jun was greatly encouraged after hearing this. He came to Meng Xin and held her hand, asking her to sit next to him. Zheng Yating also wisely gave up her seat to her...
Meng Xin saw Wang Jun's receipt, hesitated for a moment, and handed it over...
At this time, if I didn't hand over my hand to Wang Jun and make Wang Jun look embarrassed, I'm afraid it would be a little embarrassing if we meet again in the future. Meng Xin, who originally wanted to test Wang Jun more, couldn't help but give Young Master Tang a fierce look and wanted to
If it weren't for this guy interfering in the middle, I wouldn't have been stopped by Wang Jun so easily...
Young Master Tang's senses are naturally very sharp. When he noticed this look, he couldn't help but feel a little confused. Why did he offend this young lady?
"Xin, what are these fifty treasures you are talking about? These five kinds of ancient coins are well preserved, but the handwriting is too abstract. They know me, but I don't know them. Here,
I guess you and my brother are the only ones who know the origin of these coins." Wang Jun, who got his wish, couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear...
Meng Xin glanced at Mr. Tang after hearing this. These five ancient coins were not easy for him to recognize. Yongping Yuanbao and Daqi Tongbao were okay, but they were in traditional Chinese characters and were slightly distorted. The remaining three coins were Zhongda Song Tongbao.
It is the easiest to recognize, because the simplified and traditional Chinese characters of Da Song are the same, followed by Baoning Tongbao, which is written in traditional Chinese characters, and the characters Chongqing Yuanbao are not easy to recognize, she wants
Even if I’m not particularly interested in ancient coins, I’d probably not be able to bear the thought of this Chongqing Yuanbao after carefully looking at the atlas of each ancient coin…
"Haha, Mr. Tang is going to open a private museum. He must be very knowledgeable and ten times better than me. Let's let Mr. Tang explain it." Meng Xin said with a smile, since you just ruined my business, it just so happened that Jun said you can
If you recognize it, I'll let you recognize it. If you can't recognize it by then, hey, I can't blame Ruyan and Tingting for losing face. Who told you that you are not knowledgeable?
Humph, you ruined my lady’s good deeds and you still have two things to do? I hate a half-hearted man like you the most...
When Young Master Tang heard this, he glanced at Meng Xin in surprise. It seemed that he had really offended this young lady and wanted to punish me...
But, will my brother let you get your wish?
"Haha, since Miss Meng is so polite, let me explain. First, what is Guquan Fifty Treasures. Guquan Fifty Treasures refers to the fifty coins that have appeared in Chinese history. It has the functions of collecting, appreciating and
research value.
The five copper coins that Brother Wang picked up are all ancient coins among the fifty treasures. The Yongping Yuanbao has just been mentioned by Miss Meng. In fact, among the five coins, this one has the lowest value, with a value of
Around thirty thousand.
The second is this "Baoning Tongbao". Baoning Tongbao is a coin minted during the Baoning period of Yelvxian, Emperor Jingzong of Liao Dynasty. It has very few surviving coins. The format includes large characters, small characters, wide margin, thin margin, narrow penetration, and wide penetration.
There are differences such as the moon pattern on the back. The current quantity in existence should be about fifty to eighty. Due to the scarcity, the price is relatively expensive. The value of this one should be between eight hundred thousand and one million.
Again, this is the 'Chongqing Yuanbao'. The Chongqing Yuanbao was cast during the Chongqing period of King Shao of Jin Dynasty. It was cast from bronze. There are very few pieces in existence, about twenty pieces. The quantity is several times less than the Baoning Tongbao, so the price is higher.
High, between 2 million and 2.5 million.
Then there is the 'Da Song Tong Bao'. The Da Song Tong Bao was cast after July of the first year of Baoqing, the first year of Baoqing by Emperor Lizong of the Southern Song Dynasty. There are only one kind of bronze ones with "Dangshi" big coins on their backs. It is well made and rarely handed down from generation to generation.
At present, there are about ten pieces. There was an auction for Song Tongbao not long ago, and the transaction price was 4 million yuan.
Finally, there is the 'Da Qi Tong Bao'. The 'Da Qi Tong Bao' is the first Southern Tang coin cast by Li Bian, the founding emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Currently, there are only two coins in existence, and both are incomplete. One is called
One is the missing-angle Daqi, and the other is called the four-eyed Daqi. Among them, the missing-corner Daqi disappeared as early as Wanqing. It can be said that there is only one four-eyed Daqi alive now. Of course, now there is
One appeared, the one on our table.
Precious ancient coins like Daqi Tongbao have never been auctioned, and there are only three known coins so far. One of them is still missing, so the price is difficult to set. If I were to set the price, ten million would not be too much.
." Young Master Tang smiled and commented on the five coins one by one. The meaning of the last sentence was obvious. The real value of this Daqi Tongbao will not be less than 10 million. It can be said to be rare...
Meng Xin stared at Young Master Tang with wide eyes. She didn't expect that he could not only recognize these ancient coins, but also tell them their origins, quantity, and prices. This requires amazing knowledge. Even she herself was right.
I have a lot of interest in ancient coins, so I specifically studied the fifty treasures of Guquan, so I know about them. However, it is still difficult to remember the origins, survival time, etc. of all of them...
Wang Jun, Zheng Yating, Tang Ruyan, and Ahu and Abao were not surprised at all. They knew that this little thing was nothing. Young Master Tang had done a lot of evil things. The longer they stayed with him, the worse they became.
Can feel...
"It seems that I have an incredible boss?" Meng Xin secretly thought...
