Owner, let me draw a picture for you. See if it is the same as what you said. Here is some information, I hope it will be useful to you. Regarding the price, the price of the coins varies greatly depending on the market, condition and other shapes, ranging from high to several thousand to low to tens.
It was cast during the Zhenghe period of Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty (1111-1117 AD).
"Tongbao" includes Xiaoping, type 2 copper coins and type 3 iron coins. There are dozens of kinds of coins, seal script and official script. The distinctive feature is that the official script is mixed with regular script, sometimes also called regular script. Xiaoping copper coins exist in large quantities and have complex editions. Most of the changes are in "policy" and "communication". The amount of iron coins cast was huge, and there are still many of them in existence today. There is also a rare silver "Zhenghe Tongbao", an ancient spring treasure. "Zhenghe Chongbao" is a folding two coins, regular script, thin gold body, direct reading, bare back, 3 cm in diameter. It has been handed down from generation to generation to fold two coins and several kinds of treasures.
Introduction to Zhenghe Tongbao?
Zhenghe is the reign name of Song Huizong (1101~1125).
Zhao Ji was a mediocre and cowardly emperor when he was emperor, so much so that he lost his land, his country, and his life. However, he was a master in art and had high attainments in traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy. Because of his status as emperor, a group of literati gathered around him. Because of the emperor's hobbies, artistic creation flourished. Because of the emperor's resources, he had the ability to organize the editors of "Xuanhe Book Manual" and "Xuanhe Painting Book". He established the painting school in the third year of Chongning (1104), and it was officially included in the imperial examination. At that time, the status of painters was significantly improved. The paintings he painted are bookish, aristocratic and magnificent. He created the "thin gold style", bending iron to break gold, and using iron to draw silver hooks. He was the only one in the history of calligraphy to appear with this look.
Zhao Ji’s hobby in art is also used in commodities. He personally wrote money inscriptions and cast copper coins. The coins he cast are one of the four peaks in the history of Chinese coins. He was in power during many reigns, including Jianzhong Jingguo, Chongning, Daguan, Zhenghe, Chonghe, Xuanhe, etc. There were also many editions of coins and many fonts, including regular script, running script, seal script, and official script. He wrote "Daguan Tongbao" and "Chongning Tongbao" in thin gold scripts. They are exquisitely cast and the calligraphy is more beautiful. They are the favorites of spring friends.
Zhenghe Tongbao itself has many editions, including Xiaoping and Zheer. The fonts I know include seal script, official script, and regular script. They are also divided into Zhenzheng and Wenzheng.
This Zhenghe Tongbao, Xiaoping, Shukeng, should be the official script, Zhenzheng.
The Song Dynasty had many types and editions of coins, ranking first among all dynasties. During the 319 years of the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty, 46 types of coins with year names and 6 types of coins with non-year names were issued. When Huizong of the Song Dynasty, known as the "Master of Coin Casting," was in power, there were about a dozen "Zhenghe Tongbao" white copper coins. Edition, but these white copper coins are almost all in the form of Xiaoping coins. According to page 184 of "Illustrations of Ancient Coins" written by Sun Zhonghui and Hu Wei, there is a kind of "Zhenghe Tongbao" seal script coin with a diameter of 28 mm and a penetration diameter of 7 mm. It is classified as a sample coin and belongs to the second-grade top grade. With a diameter of 28 mm, it is already the largest "Zhenghe Tongbao" white copper coin ever recorded.
It can be seen that white copper Zhenghe is mostly used, and big money is rare. The diameter of this "Zhenghe Tongbao" white copper coin has reached 30 mm, which can be folded into three parts. After checking various money records, there is no record of this coin.
This "Zhenghe Tongbao" white copper coin is a sample of money issued by the ministry or a sample of money submitted. In the Song Dynasty, the chief responsible for coining coins had to submit sample coins to the court. This kind of sample money presented to the emperor must be particularly particular.
The money issued to all roads is the ministry's sample money, and these samples can be used as mother money. The first-cast products from various places are called first-cast large samples, which are larger and more exquisite than ordinary copper coins. If the number of mother coins is insufficient, first-cast large samples can also be substituted. According to the book "Identification and Maintenance of Ancient Coins", a considerable number of mother coins and sample coins in the Northern Song Dynasty and early Southern Song Dynasty were made of white copper. Now, this "Zhenghe Tongbao" white copper coin folded into three large coins is so exquisite and unusual that there is every reason to classify it as a sample coin.
Zhenghe Tongbao? Identification method
Silver dollar is a currency commonly used in modern history in my country. This currency form was introduced from Spain, Mexico and other countries, and became official during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. Manufacturing
Zhenghe Tongbao
China's silver dollar, commonly known as "Long Yang", was subsequently circulated in the market.
The silver dollar was abolished in the 24th year of the Republic of China.
The silver dollar exchange adopts the decimal system. One yuan is ten cents, one dime is ten cents, and one cent is ten cents. The universal silver dollar weighs about 26.7 grams, and its patterns are mainly dragons and human heads. Most of the Longyang coins were cast in the Qing Dynasty, such as the Guangxu Yuanbao of the Qing Dynasty. Common figures in silver coins include Yuan Shikai, Sun Yat-sen, etc. during the Republic of China.
To appraise the value of silver coins, you should first distinguish the dynasty, year number, issuing institution, edition, etc. For example, in the Qing Dynasty, the Fanzhong one-tael silver dollar issued by Hubei, the Double Dragon silver dollar issued by the Guangdong Bureau, the Guangxu Yuanbao issued by Shaanxi, and the "ji" one-tael silver dollar were each worth hundreds of thousands of yuan.
In 1998, a silver dollar with the character "luck" in it was auctioned for a high price of 1 million yuan per coin. The crowned Yuan Shikai's flying dragon silver dollar, Sun Yat-sen's three-bird silver dollar and the Austrian, British, Italian, Japanese and American silver coins are all treasures. For example, the "Eighteen Year Earth Edition" was once auctioned for 500,000 yuan each.
Because some silver coins are extremely valuable, it is important to identify authenticity. The main methods of identification are: first, to see whether the shape is machine stamped or sand-finished. All sand-finished coins are counterfeit coins; second, to see whether the text is concave and convex, and whether the style matches the charm of the time. It is clear at a glance with a magnifying glass; third, to look at the gears and counterfeit coins. The gears are far less regular than the real coins, and the comparison between the two is particularly obvious. Fourth, look at the color. The silver dollar should be white, with patina and silver rust. It will reveal white when wiped off. The color will be slightly different depending on the silver content. The Qing Dynasty silver dollar contains The highest silver content is 90%, the lowest is 50%, usually 88%; fifth, listen to the sound. The sound made by the knocking of the real silver dollar is pure, gentle, soft and calm, while the sound made by the knocking of the fake silver dollar with high copper content is The sound of fake silver coins plated with copper and silver is short and high, the sound of fake silver coins with copper or lead clips is dull and has no transflection, and the sound of fake silver coins with fillings is low and mute or "dumb"; Sixth, use the specific gravity method to test. The proportion of silver coins is 10.5, which is lower than that of gold and platinum, but higher than that of copper, lead, zinc and other common metals. Since fake silver coins are mixed with a larger proportion of copper, lead, zinc and other metals, as long as You can tell the authenticity by comparing fake silver coins with real silver coins of the same size.
Zhenghe Tongbao? White Copper Coin
In 1111 AD, the first year of Zhenghe Zhenghe of Song Dynasty, Zhenghe Tongbao Chongbao coins were minted. There are three types of materials: copper, iron, and silver. There are two types of Tongbao, small and flat. Qianwen is divided into three types: seal script, Zhenghe Tongbao
Li and Zhen. Among them, the Xiaoping copper coin version is the most complex, with nearly a hundred varieties.
The discount is less than Xiaoping, and the version is relatively monotonous. Among them, only one silver coin was found. It is not uncommon to find two white copper coins. There is a rubbing in Sun Zhonghui's "Ancient Coin Illustrations", which is in wide-margin seal script. Two coins have been published in the special issue of Inner Mongolia coins, one is in the collection of a foreign museum and the other is owned by Inner Mongolia coin enthusiasts. The latter two are both in Kuanyuan official script, which matches the writing on the coin collected by the author. This coin is introduced as follows and shown in the picture: The diameter of this coin is 3.1 centimeters, weighs 8.8 grams, is about 0.18 centimeters thick, has a rim width of 0.4 centimeters, and a penetration width of 0.6 centimeters. It is rust-free and has a silvery white body. The money is neatly made and the writing is clear. It should be sample money or silver money.
It should not be a currency in circulation. The nine emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty changed their reign names 35 times, and minted 27 coins with era names and three types of coins with non-year names. Among Xiaoping coins, white copper coins are not rare, but two white copper coins are very rare. The discovery of this coin provides us with another physical object of a large white copper coin from the Northern Song Dynasty. Since I know very little about ancient coins and have not studied them deeply, I am not sure whether this coin is a rare coin or an ordinary coin. I hope experts and spring friends can give me some advice.
