The treasures of these unearthed ancient coins are undoubtedly the "banliang" of the Qin Dynasty, the "five baht" of the Han Dynasty, the "Huoquan" of Xinmang, the "Kaiyuan Tongbao" of the Tang Dynasty, the "Tangguo Tongbao" of the Ten Kingdoms and the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the "Tangguo Tongbao" of the Song Dynasty. Representative reign money, Jin Dynasty "Zhenglong Yuanbao".

The "half-two" of the Qin Dynasty was cast under the rule of Qin Shihuang, and it has no outline inside and outside.

It is lighter and smaller than "Half Liang" in the Warring States Period, the height of the characters is slightly lower, and the small seal script is gradually square.

This kind of Qin Banliang has a diameter of 2.5-2.8 cm and a weight of about 3-6 grams.

Because of its moderate size, easy to carry, and rapid development of circulation, it became the main currency of Qin State.

Qin Shihuang unified the currency system after annexing the six countries, and "half two" became the earliest unified currency in the country, ending the long-term mixed use of "knife", "cloth" and "ring money". It is a milestone in the history of my country's currency.

The "five baht" in the Han Dynasty was abolished by Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty (118 BC) and ordered all counties to cast it. Therefore, it is also known as "five baht in the county".

It has been in circulation for 739 years and is the "longevity money" in the history of Chinese coins.

"Currency spring" is the fourth currency reform implemented in the first year of Wang Mang's Tianfeng (AD 14), and the large and small coins of "treasure goods" were abolished and recast.

The diameter is generally 2.2-2.4 centimeters, and the weight is about 2.8-3.6 grams. The writing is Xuanzhen seal.

I must have found some precious ancient coins, holding a dozen or seventy in my hand, no matter where I go, I will have nothing to eat, and if I can use those coins, I will live badly, and even get the capital to make a comeback.

For example, the first cellar was found in Bac Ha Province, far away from a Christian church.

It's not because the small tomb doesn't have many ancient coins, and the tomb is hidden there, so the ancient coins found from other places were hidden there at first.

That kind of coin is made in imitation of Xiaoguanping coins in the Northern Song Dynasty. It has excellent texture, handsome characters, regular script Qian Wenxuan reading, a diameter of 2.5 cm, and a weight of about 3.4 grams.

I thought that when I traced the flow of those ancient coins, I could still find a small tomb of the Yuan Dynasty.

Among them, the yearly money has the Chinese character "Zhizheng Tongbao" on the front, and the words "Yin", "Mao", "Chen", "Ji" and "Wu" on the back of the Sisiba script, representing the tenth year to the 17th year of Zhizheng respectively.Afterwards, Chen Wenzhe bought a small batch of ancient Yuan Dynasty coins in the Baishi Market, thinking that if these were from the Yuan Dynasty hoard.

Compared with stone Buddhas, bronze bells, and even some porcelain, ancient coins are too big.

It's just that the small Yuan Dynasty tomb seems to have been robbed after the group of tomb robbers discovered it.

"I can really look at those tomb robbers. Maybe it's because we know those ancient coins that we keep them outside our hands for sale, but because there are too few ancient coins found? Selling for a while is a low price, so we keep them. Out of hand?"

Zhizheng Tongbao was cast in the Zhizheng period (1341-1368) of Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty.

The "Chunhua Yuanbao" in the Song Dynasty was written by Zhao Guangyi, Emperor Taizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the "Holy Song Yuanbao" was cast by Huizong.

If the quantity is too small, the value is naturally low. Besides, if it is too heavy, it will be difficult to carry, so it is left in the small tomb.

According to the excavation situation, it is inferred that the coins were scattered in two inverted porcelain jars when they were collected, and then buried in the underground cellar.

Due to the dryness in the pipeline ditch, the coins are small and slightly corroded, and some of the coins are scattered and clear.

Supplementing history with material objects and evidence of history with material objects, a small amount of ancient Wan'an coins were unearthed, providing material materials for the study of your country's ancient politics, economy, and culture.

"Kaiyuan Tongbao" in the Tang Dynasty was recast from the abolition of "five baht" in the fourth year of Wude (621) by Tang Gaozu Li Yuan.

Eight small hoards of ancient coins were discovered, and Chen Wenzhe thought that was all he had gained.

The reason why so few ancient coins are left is to sell, it is definitely because we are knowledgeable and understanding, but to keep some funds for running away.

The "Zhenglong Yuanbao" of the Jin Dynasty was first cast in the seventh year of Zhenglong (1157) by Wan Yanliang, King Hailing of the Jin Dynasty, and it was the first coin in the 77th year of Jin Jianguo.

The "Tang Guo Tongbao" of the Ten Kingdoms and Southern Tang Dynasty was cast in the seventh year of Li Jingjiaotai (959), Yuanzong Yuanzong of the Ten Kingdoms and Southern Tang Dynasty.

Fortunately, there were too few coins, and these tomb robbers did not have much knowledge of ancient coins, so a small batch of ancient coins were kept in some hidden hoards.

"Huh? It's actually a small Yuan Dynasty tomb?"

So, we also made a little induction.

That is our way forward. After all, after knowing ancient coins, even in the hands of the most professional tomb robbers, there are not many palms who can know everything.

The number of coins minted in the Song Dynasty is huge, its quality is fine, the names are complicated, the varieties are few, and the calligraphy is amazing, reaching the pinnacle of ancient coinage technology in your country and even in the world.

In Wang Mang's era, the currency system was chaotic and there were many kinds of currencies. "Currency springs" were the most surviving ones.

That is the main reason why so few ancient coins have been hoarded and kept in some hidden places, and they have not flowed into the market by these guys.

Sloppy reminiscing about the situation of this small tomb in the Yuan Dynasty, Lu Yasu first showed a smile on his face.

It announces the origin of one or twenty coins and the formation of currency with "Tong Bao", the beginning of "Baht" and "Two" currencies.

The other 658 coins were not recognizable, and those ancient coins were all transferred to another small tomb.

"Huh? These guys really found the Yuan Dynasty coin hoard?"

Of course, as long as people without any cultural background, they can't make complex judgments about the value of these ancient coin texts that are preserved and broken.

The opening of the cellar is 1 meter from the surface, and the shape is already recognizable. Only part of the wall remains, with a residual height of 1.5 meters and a residual narrowness of 0.9 meters.

The size of this small tomb is very small. Before being robbed, few precious cultural relics were stolen. However, as the smallest amount of ancient copper coins, they remained in this small tomb.

We are sure that we are knowledgeable, and there are very few precious ancient coins, which may have flowed into the market long ago, or even flowed out of the country.

After preliminary cleaning by this group of tomb robbers, 3393 coins recognizable by Qian Wen were found.

It also provides physical data and supporting evidence for the study of local ancient economy and trade, currency circulation, and social development.

Qian Wen's art has reached a low peak, and the casting is exquisite.

Of course, it is difficult to sort out those coins that can be distinguished by money and text.

It is a pity that small batches of ancient coins have been stolen and sold privately.

Sloppy looking at the picture of going back, Chen Wenzhe hasn't finished understanding the thoughts of these tomb robbers.

Chen Wenzhe couldn't see the ancient coins that were rarely sorted out through backtracking. Of course, they were just sorted out in a complicated way according to the year number.

Those ancient coins belong to seven periods including Han, Sui, Tang, Seven Dynasties, Two Songs, Jin and Yuan.

"Tongbao coins" have been used for nearly 1300 years and are very influential currencies.

"A small tomb from the Zhengding period? Doesn't it seem that ancient coins were unearthed in that period?"

Each piece weighs one tael, and the characters are official script, which was written by Ouyang Xun, a famous calligrapher at that time.

Among them, the latest one is from Yuan Dynasty to Zhenglu Ya.
