1, the earliest coin in China.
In primitive society, our ancestors first used barter as a means of commodity exchange. However, with the continuous development of productive forces, there are more and more surplus goods and more types of goods exchanged, which makes it inconvenient to exchange them in kind. After that, we need to use some natural objects as a means of exchanging goods. Because shellfish itself has a natural unit, and it is light, strong and easy to carry, and at the same time, in primitive society, our ancestors regarded shellfish as an ornament and were familiar with it, so it is the most convenient and appropriate way to exchange things with shellfish. Therefore, it can be said that shellfish is the earliest currency in China. At first, natural shellfish were used, and then artificial bone shellfish, stone shellfish, pottery shellfish and copper shellfish were produced.
2. The earliest gold coins in China.
China used gold in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, but at first it was only used as an ornament or as a reward or gift. In China, the gold version of Chu in the Warring States period should be the earliest currency as gold.
This kind of gold plate is shaped like pieces of dried bean curd, and there are many marks on it, including five or six kinds of "Cheng Wei", "Chen Cheng" and "Cheng Wei", which are temporarily cut when used. Because the imprint on the gold plate is mostly "Yingcheng", it is called "Yingcheng Gold Plate" or "Yingcheng Golden Cake". These marks are like seals, which were later called "seal gold".
3. The earliest silver coins in China.
1In the autumn of 974, farmers in Gucheng Village, Fugou County, Henan Province found a three-legged bronze tripod with a cover, which contained 18 silver coins and weighed 3072.9 grams. The silver domes are all shovel-shaped. The hole of the handle on the shovel is cylindrical, except for one that is unprecedented, the others are solid hearts. According to the size of the cloth, it can be divided into three types: long, medium and short, of which the largest one is 15.7 cm long, 5.8 cm wide and weighs188.1g; The smallest is 8.4cm long, 5.8cm wide and weighs 134g. The third issue of China Coin (1983) is introduced. According to the characteristics of modeling and production, these silver cloth coins belong to the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period and are the earliest silver coins discovered for the first time in China.
4. The earliest unified currency in China.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, due to the political situation of numerous governors, the economic development in various places was unbalanced, resulting in various distinctive currency forms and different types of currency circulation fields. Basically, there are four different currency systems, namely, North Currency System, Distribution Currency System, DaoCurrency System and Postal Money System.
After Qin Shihuang unified China, he abolished knives, cloth, shells and money, reformed China's monetary system, and issued decrees for this purpose. "Qin law is the same as the world law, and Qin currency is the same as the world currency." It is stipulated that gold is the upper currency and half a penny is the lower currency. Gold is used for large payments or rewards, while half a penny is the daily currency. Qin Banliang, the earliest unified currency in China, is "as good as Zhou Qian and as good as its prose".
5. The earliest gold square hole round money in China.
1in August, 980, a five-baht gold coin was unearthed under the north tableland in Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province. Its shape is the same as that of the common five-baht copper coins in the Western Han Dynasty. It has a round square hole, and both sides of the money have outlines, with a diameter of 2.55 cm. The front is tied horizontally, and the gold coin weighs 9 grams. After testing, the purity of gold is 95%. According to experts' appraisal, this five-baht gold coin of the Western Han Dynasty was cast between the fifth year of Emperor Wu's accession to the throne and the fourth year of Emperor Xuandi. It has a history of more than 2,000 years, and is the earliest gold square hole round coin seen in China.
6. The earliest silver square round coin in China.
1955, two pieces of five baht of silver were unearthed from the tomb of the Six Dynasties at No.5 Huang Jiaying outside Guanghuamen, Nanjing. It was a five-baht shape in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it may have been copied in the Six Dynasties. They should be the earliest silver square hole round coins discovered in China so far, and may be ghost coins used for human sacrifice.
7. The earliest iron money in China
According to the historical records of coins, the earliest iron coins in China were five baht cast by Gongsun Shu when he proclaimed himself emperor in Chengdu, Sichuan at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, which has been denied. After liberation, a large number of Tiebanliang were unearthed in the tombs of the Western Han Dynasty in Changsha, Hunan, Hengyang and Xi 'an, Shaanxi. Only 32 pieces of iron were unearthed from the tombs of the Western Han Dynasty in Changsha, and the word "half Liang" was used in regular script, with no square hole or Guo, and the shape and weight were very similar to those of Wendi's four baht and half Liang. Therefore, it can be said that this semi-iron in the early Western Han Dynasty was the earliest iron money in China.
8. The earliest lead coins in China.
Various kinds of lead coins, such as lead coins, lead coins, lead springs, lead five baht and so on, have been unearthed in tombs or cellars in various parts of China. However, these lead coins are either ghost coins or counterfeit coins minted privately by the people, and they are not real official currencies. The official lead coins in circulation in China should be lead kaiyuan Xiaopingqian, which was minted by Fujian Wang in the second year (9 16) during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. Lead coins are divided into three types: bare back, back "Fu" and back "Min".
9. China is the first country to use coins with wrong gold technology.
In the second year (AD 7), Wang Mang carried out the first monetary system reform. In addition to the original five baht, he issued three new currencies, namely Daquan 50, Qidao 500 and Qidao 5000.
The shape of the knife with a flat 5 thousand is very similar to that of the present key. The money body consists of a knife ring and a handle. The ring says "one", the next one says "Dao" and the handle says "Ping 5 thousand". Among them, the word "one knife" in the ring is inlaid with gold, commonly known as "Jin Cuodao", and each piece is worth five baht and five thousand yuan.
It is the earliest coin used in China, and it is also the only coin made by the wrong gold technology. Because of its exquisite production, strange shape and rare existence, it is cherished by coin collectors. In China's ancient poems, there are many praises to Jin Cuodao, such as Du Fu's poem: "A silver pot of wine is easy to remember when gold is wrong".
10, the coin with the shortest use time in China.
186 1 In July, Emperor Xianfeng of the Qing Dynasty was critically ill in chengde mountain resort, Jehol, and appointed eight people, including Su Shun, Zai Yuan and Duan Hua, as ministers of state to handle state affairs. Soon after, Emperor Xianfeng died of illness, and eight ministers obeyed the testamentary edict, made Zai Chun emperor, drafted the reform of "Qi Xiang" in the following year, and minted "Qi Xiang" coins. Cixi, on the other hand, in the name of her and Ci 'an, contacted Prince Gong Yixin, who was in Beijing at that time, and launched a palace coup on September 30th, arresting eight ministers and executing three people, including Su Shun. This is the famous "coup in the heart", also known as "coup in Qixiang". Soon, Cixi adopted the memorial of the great scholar Zhou Zupei, abolished the title of "Qixiang", stopped casting "Qixiang" coins, and changed it to the title of "Tongzhi" and cast "Tongzhi" coins. The title of "Qixiang" was determined on July 26th, the 11th year of Xianfeng, but it was abolished on October 5th of that year and only existed for 69 days. It can be said that "Qi Xiang Qian" is the shortest used coin in China.
1 1, the earliest annual money in China.
Emperor China began to use nianhao from the Western Han Dynasty, but the earliest nianhao money in history was the Hanxing money made by Li Shou in the Sixteen Kingdoms period. Li Shou was the nephew of Te Li, the leader of the rebel army in the late Western Jin Dynasty. In the fourth year of Xiankang in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (338), he proclaimed himself emperor in Chengdu, changed his country name to Han, took Hanxing as the title, and made money from Han. According to Qian Wen arrangement, the Hanxing Line can be divided into two ways: one is up and down arrangement, commonly known as "vertical Hanxing" or "straight Hanxing", and the other is left and right arrangement, commonly known as "horizontal Hanxing".
12, the earliest country name, year number and coins in China.
In 4 19 AD, King Helian Bobo of Daxia also took control of all the cities (now Baichengzi in Jingbian, Shaanxi Province) and changed to the Yuan Dynasty to make money for the "revitalization of Daxia". Daxia is the title, and revitalization is the title. "Summer is really prosperous" Money is the earliest coin cast together with the country name and year number in China.
13, China was the first to cast right-hole round coins with place names.
The sage of Lingling said, "Liu Bei has painted Chengdu, but his military strength is insufficient and he is very worried. Liu Ba said,' It sounds good, but you have to invest 100 yuan directly to balance the price.' Get ready. A few months later, the national treasury was enriched. "The straight hundred dollars here refers to the straight one hundred and fifty baht. There is a straight 150 baht with the word "Wei" on the back, which was cast by Liu Bei in Qianwei, Sichuan. It is the earliest square hole round money with place names in China.
14, the earliest traceable coin in China.
From the seventh year of Xichun (1 180), the seventh year of Zhao Chun, and the eighth year of Zhao Chun, China coins are all capitalized. From lowercase nine years later, until sixteen. This method continued until the end of the Southern Song Dynasty. Therefore, Xichun Yuanbao is the earliest reverse coin in China.
15, the initial annual income of China in the Tang Dynasty.
Most people mistakenly believe that Kaiyuan Bao Tong was the first annual coin in Tang Dynasty in China, but this is actually wrong. Kaiyuan was the year number changed by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty in 7 13. Kaiyuan Bao Tong was first cast in Wude, Tang Gaozu (62 1). Kaiyuan Bao Tong Qian Wen's "Kaiyuan" is not the year number, but the meaning of "creating a new era". So how much was the money in the first year of the Tang Dynasty? This was the first year of Ganfeng in Tang Gaozong (666), and it only took one year.
16, the most precious Buddhist temple in China offers money.
Wutai Mountain is one of the four famous Buddhist mountains in China, and it is also a world-famous Buddhist shrine. 1988 Spring, when the stupa was built, a number of Chunhua Buddha statues were dug up. They are made of gold with a purity of over 90%. Money has a diameter of 2.4cm, a thickness of 0.12cm, a diameter of 0.5cm, and each piece weighs about12g. On the front, Qian Wen's running script "Chunhua Yuanbao" is displayed, and on the back, there are two Buddha statues, Zuo Li and Zuo Right. There is a Buddha light screen on the back of the Buddha statue. The Buddha statue is Wei Tuo, holding Ruyi. There are lotus seats under the two Buddha statues. The shape and posture of the Buddha statue are lifelike. The three-dimensional projection of the Buddha statue is 0.2 cm, and the five senses are clearly identifiable.
Chunhua is the title of Taizong in the Northern Song Dynasty. This batch of Chunhua Yuanbao money, backed by Buddha statues, has a strange shape. Obviously, it was specially cast and enshrined by the royal family at Wutai Mountain Temple at that time. It is the first time that a number of golden Buddhist temples like this have been discovered in China, so they have high historical and cultural value.
17, the earliest currency exchange in China.
The so-called "Duiqian" means that the two Qian Qian characters are the same, the casting place is the same, and the shapes such as size and outline are exactly the same, but the difference is the two characters. Kaiyuan Bao Tong Xiaopingqian, which was cast by Li Jing in the Southern Tang Dynasty, has two kinds of seal script and official script, and is the earliest coin exchange in China. It is said that the seal script Kaiyuan Bao Tong was written by the great calligrapher Xu Xuan.
18, the earliest imperial book coin in China.
Many Qian Wen coins in ancient China were written by the emperor himself. They were called Imperial Book Money. For example, Bao Tong, Chongning Bao Tong, Xuanhe Bao Tong in the Northern Song Dynasty have the word "Shaanxi", all written by Song Huizong in fine gold. The earliest imperial calligraphy money in China was Chunhua Yuanbao in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, and Qian Wen was written by Song Taizong Zhao Huan, which was divided into three styles: authentic, running script and cursive.
19, the most complicated coin in the history of China.
Jiading Qian in the Southern Song Dynasty is the most complicated name in the history of China. According to the denomination, it can be divided into four types: Xiaoping, Discount 2, Discount 3 and Discount 5 * * *. Each denomination has a different name, including Yuanbao, Yongbao, Zhibao, Jinbao, Xingbao, Anbao, Xinbao, Hongbao, Wanbao, Bao Zheng, Zhenbao, Chongbao and Feng Bao.
20. The largest metal coin in China.
The national treasure synopsis of the golden chamber is a strange-looking coin. The money body consists of two parts, the upper part is a round square hole, the seal script directly reads the word "Golden Chamber", the lower part is a shovel, and the seal script is the word "Wan Zhi". This money is recognized as the currency of Wang Mang's period. Because Qian Wen and Jin Cuodao are "even 5,000", that is, a piece is worth 5,000 baht, then the Qian Qian word is "straight 10,000", that is, a piece is worth 10,000 baht. Therefore, the national treasure Jingui Wan Zhi is the largest metal coin in China.
2 1, the earliest lead engraved mother money in China.
According to historical records, during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, there were only, Soviet Union and Baodun. , and others have not yet appeared. However, it is the first time in China to carve a national treasure of the Yuan Dynasty with ten lead coins. The money is 4.6 cm in diameter and weighs 53.3 grams. It was carved after the ten coins of Taihe and Chongbao in the Jin Dynasty. The two are exactly the same in production style, size and thickness, and text thickness. After the money is carved, it is ready to be used to cast copper coins. Perhaps the word "national treasure" is not suitable as the name of coins, or for other reasons, such copper coins have not been used. This Dayuan national treasure has a history of more than 700 years as a lead carving mother coin, and it is the earliest lead carving mother coin in China.
22. The earliest bronze carving mother money in China
The carved mother is a coin carved by hand with copper, ivory, lead and tin as materials. Used to cast mother money, and then used to cast circulating coins. Therefore, the coin industry also calls carved mother money the ancestor of money.
The earliest bronze carving mother money in China should be Jiajing Bao Tong 10 yuan of Ming Dynasty in Nanjing Museum. This model is gold and copper color, with fine texture, smooth surface, no air holes and sand holes, sharp characters and knife marks. There are many carved mother coins in China in the Qing Dynasty, only a few in the Ming Dynasty, such as Wanli Bao Tong and Chongzhen Bao Tong, and this Jiajing Bao Tong is the earliest and the best in quality, which can be called the treasure of coins.
23. The earliest peasant rebel coin in China
In 993, Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun of Qingcheng, Sichuan led the peasant uprising and put forward the slogan "I am in the same boat with the inequality between the rich and the poor, and now I am yours", which was echoed by farmers everywhere. After Wang Xiaobo died in battle, Li Shunji became the leader, and his momentum was growing day by day. In the second year, the peasant uprising army captured Chengdu, and Li Shun became king. The founding of the People's Republic of China was named Dashu, hence the name of the year. Soon, the rebels were suppressed by the ruling clique in the Northern Song Dynasty, and Soon-jae Lee died when he broke the city. When Li Shun became king, he once minted an ingot and a small flat coin, which is extremely rare in the world. This coin is now in Shanghai Museum, dating back more than 1000 years. It is the earliest peasant rebel currency in China.
24. China was the first country to use stick figure coins.
In China, the earliest stroke-reducing coin was the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom "Shengbao" cast during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Chinese characters in Qian Wenzhong are neither traditional nor simplified, but "Guo".
25. The biggest and heaviest coin in China.
There is a Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in Hunan Provincial Museum, which cost a lot of money. It's damaged, only half of it is left. Its diameter is 33.5cm, its thickness is 0.8cm, and its half weight is 265,438+070g. This extra-large bill is made of brass, covered with gold, and only the word "OTA" is left on the front. The edge is the pattern of two dragons playing with beads, and there is a word "Sheng" on the back, next to the pattern of double phoenix, and the edge is decorated with eight treasures. If the Qian Wen of this money is complete, it may be that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom carried a "holy treasure". Obviously, money as big as this is not currency in circulation, but a special commemorative coin. If the money is intact, it weighs about 4500 grams and is as big as a tea tray. So it is well-deserved that it is the largest and heaviest coin in China.
26. The lightest and smallest coin in China.
China has had small money in past dynasties. Small money is sometimes called "bad money", which is a manifestation of currency depreciation. For example, the elm pod in the Western Han Dynasty, a corn-eyed five baht and Dong Zhuo's worthless money are all very small, but the lightest and smallest coin is the goose-eyed money cast in the first year of Liu Songjing in the Southern and Northern Dynasties (465). This kind of money is "a thousand dollars is not three inches long, it is not submerged, it is easy to break, and hundreds of thousands of dollars are not earned." Because it is too light and too small to be preserved, 1500 years later, it is difficult to see its real object.
27. China was the first country to cast silver coins with numbers.
During the Guangxu period in the late Qing Dynasty, the British and Indian rupees flowed into Tibet in large quantities and penetrated into Sichuan, Yunnan and other places, which seriously damaged the economy of the southwest frontier. In order to resist Indian Rupee's invasion, in the thirty-second year of Guangxu (1906), the Qing government decided to officially cast the Sichuan rupee by the Sichuan Banking Bureau. There are three kinds of flowers: one rupee, half rupee and quarter rupee. The central flowers are divided into straight flowers and horizontal flowers, and the horizontal flowers are less. There is a bust of Queen Victoria of England on the front of Indian Rupee, and a bust of Emperor Guangxu on the front of Sichuan Rupee. This is the earliest person in China who minted silver coins, and it is also the only official currency minted by the emperor.
28. The earliest official silver coin in circulation in China.
China began to use money very early, but before the Qing Dynasty, it was only used as a reward and storage, not as an informal currency. The official silver coins in circulation in China should be the treasures of the Qianlong period (1792). This kind of silver coin is divided into three types, the largest one weighs one yuan and five cents, the middle one weighs one yuan and five cents, the small one weighs five cents, and the middle one is the most cast, which is only used in Tibet. Coins are made by hand, and the money body is very thin, commonly known as "thin slices". The front of the money is the Chinese character "Qianlong Treasure", and the back is Xixia, which also means "Qianlong Treasure". There is a box in the center of the coin, which symbolizes the square hole, but it is not penetrated. There are three kinds of years in the margin, which are 58 years, 59 years and 60 years respectively.
29. The earliest machine for casting silver coins in China.
Silver coins in China have a long history of casting, but both are cast and hand-made. /kloc-in the 9th century, the machine industry developed vigorously all over the world, and machine coinage appeared one after another. The original coinage technology in China was very backward. In the tenth year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1884), the advanced craft "Jilin Changping" silver coin was born. Produced by Jilin Machinery Bureau, it is the earliest machine-cast silver coin in China.
A full set of * * * five "Jilin Changping" silver coins, divided into one yuan, San Qian, half two, seven yuan and one or two five denominations. In the center of the front, there are twelve Chinese characters "supervised by Jilin Machinery Bureau in the 10th year of Guangxu", with one dragon on each side and a seal character "Shou" on the top, which constitutes the longevity sacrifice pattern of two dragons. The central box on the back is the Pingji value of the Chinese language factory, and the outer circle is the corresponding Manchu language with moire. This kind of silver coin was presented to the Qing court when it was cast, but it was not approved, so it was not issued, and only a small amount was scattered among the people, so it was very precious.
30. The earliest Yang Long in China
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, many provinces in China successively minted machine-made silver coins, some of which had dragons on the back, commonly known as "Yang Long". The earliest Yang Long in China was Yang Long, Guangdong Province, initiated by Zhang Zhidong.
In the 13th year of Guangxu (1887), Zhang Zhidong, governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, saw that foreign silver coins flowed into China in large quantities, flooding the market and disrupting the economy, so he called on the imperial court to make silver coins for resistance. In the 15th year of Guangxu reign (1889), the Qing government approved the trial casting of silver coins by Guangdong Yuan Yin Bureau. This kind of silver coin has the words "Guangxu Yuanbao" on the front, four characters in the middle, which are also "Guangxu Yuanbao", and the English words "Guangdong Province" and "Seven Money and Three Points" on the outer bead, with a dragon pattern on the back and the words "Made in Guangdong Province" on the top and bottom. In addition, there are four denominations in San Qian, namely, six cents and five cents, one cents and six cents and five cents, which are called "seven-three model boards" by the coin industry and later changed to "seven-two model boards". This is the earliest dragon silver coin cast in China. After the sample coins were sent to Beijing, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development ordered the English on the front to be moved to the back and the Chinese on the back to the front, which became the widely circulated Yang Long in Guangdong.
3 1, the earliest copper coin in China.
At the end of Qing Dynasty, with the rise and development of modern industry, great changes have taken place in China's monetary system and coinage technology. The hand-casting coin method has become very backward, and it is naturally replaced by the machine-making coin method. As far as copper coins are concerned, in the 26th year of Guangxu (1900), Guangdong Mint first minted the first set of mechanical copper coins in China-Guangxu Yuanbao. This copper coin is round without holes, with a circle in the middle of the coin face, four Chinese characters "Guangxu Yuanbao" in it, the word "Baoguang" in Manchu in the middle, the words "Made in Guangdong Province, one circle for every 100 pieces" outside the circle, the Yi Long pattern in the middle of the coin back and the English word "Kwangtongonecent" around it. Since then, Guangdong copper coins have been copied in various provinces, with the same basic shape, while the dragon and Chinese characters on the back of the coins are arranged in various ways and in many versions.
32. Now the earliest paper money in China.
As early as the heyday of the Northern Song Dynasty, China set up a communication bureau in Yizhou, Sichuan, and the country officially issued paper money, which was called the "communication bureau", but now this kind of communication bureau has no physical object.
1982, the government of China repaired the White Pagoda of Liao Dynasty in the eastern suburb of Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, and found a note of "Zhong Tong Yuan Bao Jiao moved" in the cloister on the second floor of the tower. This banknote is 16.4cm long and 9.3cm wide, with red official seals on the top and bottom of the front and the top of the back. It is a nine-fold seal script. According to 1260 yuan, Zhongtong banknotes began to exist, and 1269 Basiba created new Mongolian characters. This precious paper money doesn't have Basiba characters on it, so it was issued during 1260 ~ 1269, which is earlier than other existing Yuan Dynasty paper money. Therefore, this "Tong Yuan Baojiao Qian Yi Shi Wen" is the earliest paper money in China and the earliest paper money in the world today.
33. The paper currency with the largest face width in China.
At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, following the example of the early Yuan Dynasty, it was free to use paper money, but it was soon changed to use both kinds of paper money, mainly paper money, supplemented by money.
The paper money of the Ming Dynasty was issued in the eighth year of Hongwu (1375), surrounded by a dragon-shaped style with the words "treasure money of the Ming Dynasty" written across it. On both sides of the style, there are four characters and one line of seal characters: "Ming dynasty treasure banknotes spread all over the world", with ancient money patterns in the middle, and the following is "Chinese books are printed accurately, used for making money and forged". In the thirteenth year of Hongwu, the province of Chinese books was abolished and six books were set up. Banknote-making belongs to the Ministry of Industry, so the name of China Province on the banknote was changed to the Ministry of Industry. There are six kinds of treasures in Daming: 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 and consistency. Among them, the consistency is about 34 cm long and 22 cm wide, which is the largest banknote in China and the largest banknote in the world.
34. The smallest banknote in China.
In the year of Tong Yuan in the Qing Dynasty (1909), Zhejiang Province renamed the original official bank as Zhejiang Bank, and in the first year of the Republic of China (19 12), it was renamed as Zhejiang Bank in the Republic of China, which was originally an official business office. In 4 years (19 15), it was changed to Zhejiang Local Industrial Bank. In 12 (1923), the government and shares were separated and operated separately. Commercial shares are called Zhejiang Industrial Bank and formal shares are called Zhejiang Local Bank. In order to solve the shortage of tokens at that time, the latter issued paper money with a denomination of one cent. This banknote is only 5 cm long and 2.5 cm wide, which is by far the smallest banknote in China.
35. The earliest RMB in China.
From 65438 to 0948, Shi Lei, then the head of the issuing department of North China Bank, collected a RMB denominated in 50 yuan, which was the first RMB in China.
1948 12 1 the people's government of north China issued circular letter No.4, which was written in gold. The notice said: "In order to meet the needs of the national economy, the government of Shandong Province, Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia and Jinsuiyuan have agreed to merge" North China Bank, Beihai Bank and Northwest Farmers Bank "into the People's Bank of China, with the former North China Bank as the head office, and from this year 1 February1day, the banknotes of the People's Bank of China will be issued as banknotes in North China, East China and Northwest China. On the day of issuance, with the consent of relevant departments, Shi Lei changed the first of the first batch of RMB into Jinan paper money, which has been treasured ever since.
This piece of RMB collected by Shi Lei has a denomination of "50 yuan certificate", a crown word of "Ⅰ Ⅱ Ⅲ" and a serial number of "0000000 1". Chinese characters on RMB, including "People's Bank of China", "Republic of China" and "Warrior Yuan", were all written by Dong, then Chairman of the People's Government of North China, with beautiful and generous fonts.
36, China's largest denomination notes.
During the period of Kuomintang rule, social unrest and economic depression. In order to cope with the passive situation of inflation, the puppet government continuously issued large denomination banknotes, and successively issued large denomination banknotes such as100000,100000, and100000. Among them, the largest denomination is the "six billion yuan" banknote, which was issued in 1949 Xinjiang.
37. China first used minority languages as coins in Qian Wen.
1977, a large coin in qidan language was unearthed at the Shangjing site in Liaoning province, which was interpreted as "China Wanshun" or "Long live China". According to research, it was cast before the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC) (907). This should be the earliest coin in China with Qian Wen as the minority language.
38. The earliest book on numerology in China.
China's earliest book on numerology is Gu Xuan's Qian Pu. Gu Xuan, a native of Liang Dynasty in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, was appointed by Ren Jianan, and was appointed Hou after Sun Wu's Prime Minister Gu Yong. According to Hongzun's Quan Zhi in the Southern Song Dynasty, "The age of (ancient coins) is getting longer and longer, and many kinds are submerged but not handed down from generation to generation. Gu Liangxuan started with a book. All the origins of the past dynasties, the size and severity, have a sequence, making the latter visible. " Unfortunately, this earliest coin work has been lost.
39. The earliest surviving numerology works in China.
China's coin heritage is very rich. There were monographs on coins as early as 14500 years ago, but all the works on coins before the Northern Song Dynasty have been lost. The earliest existing spectrum of ancient coins should be Quan Zhi written by Hongzun in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Hong Zun (1120 ~1174) was born in Poyang, Southern Song Dynasty (now Poyang, Jiangxi). Twenty-three years old, a scholar, and later a provincial orthographic secretary. He had a bachelor's degree in the Minister's Hall and died in Wen 'an. He has written many books, such as Historical Records, Hanyuan Shu Qun, and Shuangpu, among which he is the most famous. Quan Zhi was written in the 19th year of Shaoxing (1 149), and * * recorded 348 coins, among which Yong Guang, Jinghe, Tiancheng, Ganfeng Quanbao Daqian, Ce Tian, Yonglong, Tiande, Tongtong Quanhuo and Tianzan were all big coins. Quan Zhi's unique views on the chronology of pre-Qin currency have a great influence on the numerology research of later generations in China.
