Xianfeng Bao Tong, Qing Xianfeng three years, Fujian Fu Bao Bureau, ten-style coin casting test. The bronze has a diameter of 3.9 cm, a perforation of 0.7 cm and a weight of 16 g, because the word "salty" has the name of "Daqing" on both sides.
Xianfeng dongbao
"Xianfeng" was the title of literate Sect in Qing Dynasty, and Xianfeng period coincided with the climax of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's revolutionary movement. At this time, people's grievances are boiling. In order to survive, the Qing government made a big fuss about coinage and passed the financial crisis on to the people. Various coins such as "Xianfeng Bao Tong", "Xianfeng Chongbao" and "Xianfeng Yuanbao" came out one after another.
In the first year of Xianfeng, we first prepared to make money by casting Xianfeng Bao Tong. Due to the Opium War, the plunder of foreign powers and the occurrence of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom revolutionary movement, it is difficult for money bureaus to make money by casting, and many money bureaus are actually at a standstill. Even if they start casting, they will cut corners. As a result, Xianfeng Bao Tong made less fine money, but more inferior money, mostly of poor quality and light weight, or caused iron money and lead money to replace copper money. In the first year of Xianfeng, it was stipulated that the weight of money was one yuan and two cents, and it became one yuan in the second year, but most of the specific casting lines were lighter than the specified weight. "Xianfeng Bao Tong" is a regular script, and the Manchu Bureau is named Baoyuan, Baoquan, Baohe, Baode, Dongbao, Baoyi, Baoji, Jinbao, Baoshan, Baogong, Baosu, Baozhe, Changbao, Fu Bao, Baotai, Baowu, Baonan, Baoguang, Precious and Baochuan. Among them, the number of Baotai, Baode, Baoguang and Aksu bureaus is very small.
Since then, the Taiping Army has won successively, and anti-Qing uprisings have been surging everywhere. The Qing army was exhausted and the Qing court panicked. At this time, the military expenditure in Qing dynasty increased greatly and the tax revenue decreased greatly. Coupled with the influence of the Opium War, the financial situation was tight. The Qing court was forced to drum up a lot of money in the third year of Xianfeng (AD 1853) in order to raise funds to continue to suppress the Taiping Army and alleviate the financial crisis. "The Catalogue of Big Style" said: "In the third year of Xianfeng (AD 1853), military affairs became increasingly prosperous, and the salary could not be renewed. Shouyang negotiated with the state electricity users, and asked them to cast ten large sums of money to increase iron smelting to meet the expenses. Turn it into fifty and one hundred dollars. Wang continued to demand 501 thousand. " It shows that Xianfeng's big money was invested under pressure. "Xianfeng heavy treasure" was first cast into ten big money, and then into more than fifty or one hundred, and it was quickly cast in all provinces of the country. The casting of Xianfeng Chongbao is very confusing and complicated. Task sequence, size, casting materials, casting technology, writing style, Qian Wen, etc. In each bureau, even the same bureau is so different that the size of the position and the size of the money are upside down, in addition to iron money and lead money.
In order to promote the rapid development of big money, the number of Xianfeng mint bureau has increased compared with the previous dynasty. Besides Baoyuan, Baoquan and other savings bureaus, the Jehol Baode Bureau has been set up, Jiangsu Baosu Bureau has set up Qingjiangpu Branch and Xinjiang Kashi Bureau, and the king of Keqin County has been allowed to set up a copper donation bureau to make big money. The mint bureau, which had stopped casting, started casting again. There are many kinds of duties of Xianfeng. Xianfeng Heavy Treasure is the most common casting line of ten yuan, and all the money bureaus that cast big money have casting lines, and the casting quantity is also quite abundant. Secondly, when 50, when 100,000, when 500, when Qianbaoquan Bureau, Baoyuan Bureau, Baogong Bureau, Baoshan Bureau, Baohe Bureau and Keqin County King were all cast. In addition to the above duties, I also made a lot of money, such as fifty, twenty, forty to four hundred. Bao Wen is a "treasure" when he is ten or fifty, and an "ingot" when he is more than one hundred. However, some money bureaus either regard "Bao Tong" as a treasure or use several treasures at the same time. Qian Wen's calligraphy with deep pockets has its own system, with obvious differences.
Price: 3000 yuan.
