Cheng 'an Baohuo was cast and issued in the second year of Jin Zhangzong Cheng 'an (1 197) to solve the financial and economic crisis. During the reign of Jin Zhangzong (1 189 to 1208), the Jin Dynasty changed from prosperity to decline. Under the double contradiction of the devaluation of paper money and the shortage of copper coins, Jin Zhangzong carried out a new currency reform in the second year of Cheng 'an (1 197), that is, the original 520 silver collar was changed to face value. Marking the currency value on the silver collar and dividing it into five grades has played a role in replacing broken silver and raising military expenses, and has become a silver coin put into circulation market. It is essentially different from the original silver weighing currency, and it is the first change of silver currency. Although it only existed for a year and a half, its position in the history of currency can not be ignored.
So far, there are only two kinds of Cheng 'anbao goods found, one or two and one and a half, with a color of over 95%. According to the calculation of 20% discount for each dozen of Chenganbao goods, its fifth par value should be one or two, one and a half, two and a half, five or two and twelve.
Cheng 'an Baohuo is a real silver coin, which maintains the exchange relationship with copper coins and treasure coupons and is the legal tender of the Jin Dynasty government. Cheng 'an Bao goods are widely used. According to historical records, silver was used to supply officers and men's salaries, border defense affairs and military supplies, and to reward the transportation of grain from the south to the north during the Jin Zhangzong period. Cheng 'an Treasure is a silver coin that replaces old silver, and its application range is wider than old silver. In addition to taxes, military expenses and wages, it is also used for commercial circulation. The old silver coins in the Jin Dynasty weighed 520 taels and were worth 100 taels. When they are used by people, they are often cut into small pieces and weighed for trading. Now we are casting Anbao goods, with a face value of one or two to 125 kinds, at a discount of two yuan each. It can be seen that the casting bank undertakes Anbao goods to replace broken silver, which is a silver coin that directly enters the circulation field, corresponding to paper money and copper coins.
In the early days of casting, Cheng Baoan was supported by the Jin government. At that time, the government was required to issue two currencies, namely, Cheng 'anbao goods, silver collars and paper money. If the quantity of Cheng 'anbao goods is small and insufficient, casting can be increased, which shows that the Jin government takes care of Cheng 'anbao goods. However, the proliferation of private casting, in order to reduce costs, a large number of copper and tin mixed with silver, resulting in a decline in the quality of goods in Cheng 'anbao, serious damage to its reputation, leading to merchants refusing to load, and shops closing down. So the Jin government had to stop casting and issuing in the fifth year of Cheng 'an (1200).
The picture shows a Jin Dynasty silver collar of Cheng 'anbao goods, which appeared in the Guardian Autumn Auction in China not long ago. The inscription reads: Cheng 'anbao goods, one warehouse and two warehouses. Its length is 43.4 mm, width is 22 mm, thickness is 5 mm, and weight is 40. 1 g, so it is the only authentic product that has been circulated among the people.
