FOREWORD

For this issue, we have the forward to the 3rd book in the series of the Medallic Memories - 100 Years of Financial History by the former ICBC chairman Jiang Jianqing. This book continues the fantastic story of financial history with his collection of medals, which has been a best seller in the Chinese financial book sector.

Jeff Garrett has an informative overview article on the fabulous National numismatic collection at the Smithsonian national museum of American history. The NNC holds one of the greatest numismatic collections in the world and is a wonderful resource for researchers. We also have an article we originally published in the 1990s by our senior editor bruce smith on the discovery of the Eduard Kann's banknote collection by Andy Lustig.

From this issue, we will start a series of articles with a license from NGC by David Vagi, a world-famous ancient coins expert, researcher, and director of NGC Ancients. We hope our readers can gain knowledge of the fabulous history of ancient coins from David's articles. We also have an interesting article by Mark Lovmo on the fifth republic inauguration commemorative coins. Mark and I visited leading Korean numismatic company Hwadong last July in Seoul, as he continues his work on the Korea numismatics. We hope to have a book project in the future in this interesting area to reveal new information on Korean numismatics. PCGS's Jay Turner has an informative article on the special striking of British commonwealth coins. We hope there is something interesting for everyone in this issue and look forward to meeting everyone again in the future. Starting September, we will start the 3rd survey to select the Top Chinese coins for the 3rd edition of Top Chinese Coins. Like the first survey, we will select gold, silver, and copper coins. The survey period will be September 2020 to December 2020, and we expect to have the 3rd edition of Top Chinese Coins by the Fall of 2021. Michael Chou Publisher & Editor-in-Chief

Significant Research on the Gold Currency of the Republic of China

Zhou Bian〔Shanghai〕

The Archives of Gold of the Republic of China (《 民國黃金檔案 》) by Stephen Tai ( 戴學文 ) was published by Boduoxi Studio ( 波 多 西 ) in Taipei in January 2020 (ISBN 978-98687260-4-8). Boduoxi Studio is located at 231 Fuxing 2nd Rd., Room 803, Zhubei City, Hsinchu County 302, Taiwan (ROC); email: hwta@ms9.hinet.net.

The Archives of Gold of the Republic of China gives a detailed and systematic introduction to the basics and evolution of gold currency in the Republic of China. The book is divided into eight chapters, which narrate the history of precious metal currency of the Republic of China from silver to gold, and from gold ingots to gold central mint bars. Each chapter focuses on the general situation of the mints that produced gold central mint bars in different periods, including the Chongqing Central Mint, the Shanghai Central Mint, the Chengdu Mint Branch, and the Taipei Central Mint. The sections of each chapter introduce the mint marks, fineness, quantity, structure, and design of gold central mint bars manufactured by the above mints, and also record the circulation and policies of gold jewelry and some historical events related to gold. In the appendix, the author adds the documents of the management measures and general rules of precious metals like gold formulated by the Nationalist government over the years.

The author of this book, Stephen Tai, is a very diligent researcher on the Republic of China's gold currency and has published many well-researched articles. Since the historical documents of Nationalist China's gold are the basis of the research, Mr. Tai searched the original documents of the Taipei Central Mint, the Central Bank of the Republic of China, the Bank of Taiwan, etc., in the National Archives Administration of Taiwan, and solved many historical questions. Based on the previously available research, with combining discoveries and achievements, the book presents a more real, diverse, and authentic history, and comes up with many new ideas. With its rich and real historical document-based value, rigorous and scientific research style, the book presents a history of the Republic of China's gold currency to the readers. Overall, it is now a required book for research and reference for understanding the gold currency of the Republic of China.


Systematic Introduction to Nationalist China's Gold

Zhou Bian〔Shanghai〕

The Untold Story of Nationalist China's Gold (19371950) 《 ( 你所不知道的國府黃金》) by Stephen Tai ( 戴 學 文 ) was published by Boduoxi ( 波 多 西 ) Studio in Taipei in April 2018 (ISBN 978-986-87260-31). Boduoxi Studio is located at 231 Fuxing 2nd Rd. Rm 803, Zhubei City, Hsinchu County 302, Taiwan (ROC); email: hwta@ms9.hinet.net.

The famous German economist Karl Marx once said, "Gold and silver are not by nature money, but money consists by its nature of gold and silver". Gold, a natural metal, is recognized as the best exchangeable equivalent of all other commodities. After the Second Sino-Japanese War, the Nationalist government issued plenty of gold that had long been stored as reserves in the central bank’s vaults to curb the inflation caused by the war. Gold thus took on the function of circulating money. The history of transferring gold from the Chinese mainland to Taiwan by the Nationalist government in 1949 has been covered with a mysterious veil because of its incomplete records, and the fact that the relevant historical documents have not been made public or have been deliberately concealed. In recent years, it has been a hot topic between the Chinese mainland and Taiwan. Stephen Tai's newest publication, the Untold Story of Nationalist China’s Gold (1937-1950) , revealed the history of the gold transfer. In his research, Mr. Tai rigorously collected

and organized historical documents, systematically and authentically researching the related objects, archives, and pictures. Through his hard work, this book was compiled and published, serving as an essential reference work of the history of Nationalist China’s gold.

The Untold Story of Nationalist China's Gold (19371950) is divided into four chapters, which describe the origin of Nationalist China’s gold as a currency, the process of manufacturing gold into central mint bars, and the process of transferring it to Taiwan. The book has arranged events in chronological order. The author makes objective conclusions, with the support of many archival and historical documents. The book is also enhanced by a large number of photos. Over the years, Mr. Tai has devoted himself to studying government bonds, gold and silver ingots, and other subjects. Many of his famous and successful essays show the links between the Chinese mainland and Taiwan.

The 356page hardcover book of 1,500 copies, 787mmx1092mm, is about 135,000 characters in length and cost 368 RMB.

Emperor Wuzong [ 武 宗 ] of the late Tang dynasty used the reign era name of Huichang [ 會昌 ] from 841 to 846, and local governments minted Huichang Kaiyuan Tongbao cash coins, or Huichang Kaiyuan , in that time. From the An Lushan Rebellion (755-763) to the Wuzong emperor’s reign, there was a trend of decentralization, and more and more separatist regimes came into being in local areas. Despite continuous wars, commercial activities developed unusually fast in this period, so there was more need for currency. Before the Wuzong emperor’s reign, the central government took charge of the whole process of minting and issuing cash coins, and local governments had no right to implement or interfere with national policies. Coins minted were divided into three equal groups, namely, one turned over to the central government, one kept for the use of the coinage department, and the third distributed to state governments. This caused an intensification in the contradictions and conflicts in coin distribution between the central government and local governments. Against such a background, Li Shen, the governor of Huanan province, put forward a policy to delegate the right of minting to local governments, and the proposal was supported by Prime Minister Li Deyu and approved by the central government. After that, Li Shen took the lead in minting Huichang Kaiyuan in Yangzhou, followed by over 20 other local governments. There are no definite historical records about the mints of the Huichang Kaiyuan , so most studies have long focused on the mintmarks on their reverse sides. However, there are few studies about the inscriptions and decorations on their obverse sides. Fortunately, the Illustrated Catalog of Kaiyuan Tongbao :

Huichang Kaiyuan has filled the gap. The author reviewed materials extensively and collected Huichang Kaiyuan , traveling to eight places where the minting of Huichang Tongbao took place. He took the results and opinions from other studies into consideration, and drew some conclusions based on his systematic and innovative research. The book classifies the Huichang Tongbao according to 23 mintmarks on their reverses (chang [ 昌 ], dan [ 丹 ], e [ 鄂 ], fu [ 福 ], guang [ 廣 ], gui [ 桂 ], hong [ 洪 ], jing [ 京 ], jing [ 荆 ], lan [ 蓝 ], liang [ 梁 ], luo [ 洛 ], ping [ 平 ], run [ 润 ], tan [ 潭 ], xiang [ 襄 ], xing [ 興 ], xuan [ 宣 ], gun [ 兖 ], yi [ 益 ], yong [ 永 ], yue [ 越 ] and zi [ 梓 ]). In terms of the Huichang Tongbao produced by a particular mint, it makes an introduction according to the overview of mintage, an analysis of obverse inscriptions, and an analysis of character strokes, with some specialized articles included. Since Kaiyuan Tongbao coins minted by the same mint have different obverse inscriptions and decorations of stars and moons, the book identifies coin varieties according to the combination of their obverse inscriptions and decorations. After a guide chapter to the use in this book, there is a graph about the distribution of the varieties of Huichang Tongbao , which shows the distribution and rarity of each variety clearly. The book also includes colorful photos of 2,878 individual Huichang Tongbao pieces. Their rarities range from extremely rare, very rare, rare, scarce, to common, and each degree is divided into three sub-degrees according to their overall values, with market prices attached for reference. The Illustrated Catalog of Kaiyuan Tongbao: Huichang Kaiyuan Tongbao features abundant content and clear pictures, which allows readers to identify coins according in the book conveniently. As the book is both informative and useful, it is an important reference book for collecting and studying Huichang Kaiyuan.

It has been ten years since the financial crisis. The imbalanced condition of the global economic and financial structure has not been changed, and we see no adjustment in our economic and financial development model. Also, the relationship between consumption, saving, investment, and trade is still imbalanced. On the contrary, the phenomenon of "too-big-to-fail" is getting worse, and the leverage is still high. Those punished defaulters do not lower their debt levels because of worry and fear. In the first quarter of 2018, the global debt mounted to a new high of $247 trillion (318% of GDP), far above the warning line of 150%.

In 2018, global government debt, company debt, household debt, and personal debt totaled to 247 trillion dollars, while the sum of circulating coins, paper money, stocks, savings, money order, and other broad money was just 90 trillion dollars. By 2018, only 180,000 tons of gold had been mined, or 8.6 trillion dollars. Such a huge gap has been secretly "issued" by modern goldsmiths since the Medal for the 100th anniversary of the founding of the CrĂŠdit Industriel & Commercial

17th century. We are in the age of modern finance in which money issuance is completely separated from gold reserve and the credit of a country is used as a reserve instead. In this circumstance, those who are "badly beaten" and suffer bankruptcy are central banks and governments of countries that issue money excessively. Inflation, in the final analysis, is a purely monetary phenomenon. I cite many rare materials about inflation, so readers can have a deep understanding

of such phenomenon. I also introduce historical backgrounds of inflation in different countries, which makes the content to be more impressive for readers.

When we analyze the reasons for financial crisis and inflation, we can also find problems in the modern financial industry, such as loss of target, imbalanced development, and alienation of management. The poor, the low-income, and small and microenterprise are inaccessible to financial service through formal approaches, excluded from the financial system. Joseph Eugene Stiglitz, the winner

European Union is not the first to replace a sovereign cur rency with a cur rency of a c ommunit y of sovereign nation-states. Before the birth of the euro, Africa countries started to separate money from their states, and the system has run well since it was commissioned. The currency used by the Financial Community of Africa in Western and Central Africa is the CFA franc, and it is the common currency of two sovereign currency areas, including 15 sovereign currency countries. Countries in the CFA franc zone volunteer to give up their independent sovereign currency and monetary policy, as they want to maintain a stable currency, exchange rate, and credit and guarantee the convertibility of the CFA franc at the cost of the economic growth, trade development and international competitiveness. What is the final destination of the CFA Franc which has gone through 150 years? After the Organization of African Unity was replaced by the African Union, the African Central Bank was established.

Commercial Bank of China made an epoch-making investment, which helped to build a wide bridge for the economic and trade cooperation between China and Africa. Besides, the book introduces the history of the Bank of the Belgian Congo. This bank is unfamiliar to the majority, but its story may shed a light on the history of colonial banks. At the end of the 19th century, big European powers stepped up aggression in Africa. In 1876, only 10.8% of Africa was colonized, mainly in the coastal area. But by 1900, 90% of the continent had been carved up by Europe. Among all European countries, Belgium actively advocated and participated in colonization. Over a hundred years have passed, and we can well remember medallions issued at that time. There are controversial opinions on the Belgium King Leopold Ⅱ (1835—1909) and the Bank of the Belgian Congo. The colonial history of the U.K. is disgraceful, while the British Broadcasting Corporation excoriated the colonial governance of Leopold Ⅱ . It is impossible to go back to the past or change the history, and this period of history and these historical figures remain to be evaluated in the future. The latter two volumes make an introduction to

In the story of the three giants in the Romanian banking industry, the book reviews its history and development from the viewpoint of medallion. Through 150 years of financial turmoil, the Romanian National Savings Bank is still running today. During a centur y of significant changes, Romanians under went regime changes and wars of secession, and they were looking for ward to making a mickle with many a little and having a peaceful life.

was impacted. Against the economic crisis, Czech suffered hyperinflation and a high unemployment rate. Its ossif ied system, outdated concepts, and lack of talents and technology prevented it from adapting to the market economy. At that time, most Czech banks had huge losses, the government attempted to relieve the burden through transferring the state shares, and the E.U. even took bank privatization as the condition to join. After banks were privatized, the Central and Eastern European countries lost their financial institutes, and their independent monetary policies became invalid. Especially during the sovereign debt crisis, oversea mother banks asked their member banks in Central and Eastern Europe to constrain lending, which made the situation even worse. As for those emerging market economy countries, they wanted to improve the eďŹƒciency and profits of state-owned banks, whilst benefiting the whole society through macro-control. However, how states could make a balance and how they could participate in the banking system were another two hard and urgent issues to be solved. The Central and Eastern European countries were highly dependent on capital from the E. U., and 11 out of 16 had joined the union by then.

KANNS PAPER MONEY COLLECTION FOUND Bruce W. Smith〔USA〕

More than 30 years after his death, a portion of the paper money collection formed by the famous collector and numismatic writer, Eduard Kann, has been found. In February 1995, New York coin dealer, Andy Lustig, purchased from a used bookstore in Los Angeles a book titled "Paper Money in China" by Eduard Kann. The book is a privately bound collection of five of Kann's articles on Chinese paper money published in the Central Bank of China Bulletin during 1936-1937. The book also contained about 200 Chinese notes, attached to pages with stamp hinges. Discovery of the collection Was announced at the Singapore International Coin Convention February 24, 1995 by Ronald J. Gillio, prominent dealer in East Asian coins. According to a press release from Gillio, the book, from Kann's personal library, had been purchased by the bookstore from a member of the Kann family about five years ago. The book and the notes will be offered for sale in the Taisei-Baldwin-Gillio auction to be held in September during the Hong Kong International Coin Convention. Eduard Kann was born in Austria in 1880 and went to China in 1902 apparently to work in a branch of the Russo-Chinese bank. He was stationed in Manchuria for many years, but around the time of the Russian revolution moved Tlentsin where he became manager of the Commercial Guarantee Bank of Chihli. In 1921 he became general manager of the Chinese -American Bank of Commerce, and his signature may be found on some of its notes. From 1925 to 1949 he operated a bullion and exchange brokerage business at Shanghai(though he was imprisoned for a time by the Japanese during 1941-42). From 1949 till his death in 1962 he lived in Hollywood, California. Though he authored numerous articles, Kanns most important works are his books "Currencies of China" (1926; 2nd edition 1927; reprint 1978) and "Illustrated Catalog of Chinese Coins" (1954, reprint 1966), and his series of articles "History Of Chinese Paper Money" (also titled "Paper Money in Modern China" and "Commentaries on Chinese Paper Money" ) published in 46 installments in the Far Eastern Economic Review during1957-1958. According to letters written by Kann, he originally planned to publish this as a book, but those plans apparently fell through, and it was published as a series. Shortly before his death he planned to turn over the manuscript for this

36

Originally published in the JEAN in 1995 For more information on the sale of this collection, contact Ronald Gillio, 1103 State Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101.

book to Dr. Walter Loeb, an active paper money collector and writer, for publication possibly by the newly organized International Bank Note Society. IBNS never published the work and Loeb died in 1969. As noted in the first issue of East Asia Journal (Ft. Wayne, IN 1982), Kanns coin collection was sold in three famous sales by Quality Sales Corporation (Kreisberg & Cohen) during 1971-1972. However, Kann had actually sold the collection to a California doctor in the 1950s and it was this doctor, who had kept the collection intact and added a few items to it, who consigned it to Quality Sales. Kann's collection of sycee ingots, the most comprehensive in existence at that time, was sold by private treaty in 1978 to the British Museum. His collection of Chinese stamps was sold at auction in February 1963 by stamp dealer J. R. Hughes. But the status of his paper money collection remained a mystery until now. Kann mentioned in a 1957 letter that his proposed book on Chinese paper money recorded 1, 800 notes, all of which he had personally seen. From his descriptions of the notes, he obviously possessed many of them as well. Whether his Collection consisted of the 200 notes found or whether there is another collection of Kann notes waiting to be discovered, is unknown. Among the notes in the book discovered by Lustig was a previously unknown note on the Russo-Asiatic Bank. The one dollar note, from the Hankow branch, dated 8 December 1917, has the title "RUSSO-ASIATIC BANK" overprinted on a note of the Russo-chinese Bank. The basic note is listed in Pick as S512 (dated 6 June 1914 with Hankow overprinted on Tientsin), but the overprint is a new discovery. This basic note is a bit odd. According to Kann, who was manager of various branches of the Russo-Asiatic Bank at that time, the bank changed its name from Russo-Chinese Bank to Russo-Asiatic Bank in July 1910 as the result of a merger with another bank. Pick S512 with date of 1914 should not exist at all. A photograph of the newly discovered note appears on the front page of the March 1995 issue of Bank Note Reporter and in a March 13 Coin World article. Interestingly the serial number of the newly discovered note is very close to the serial number on the 1914 dated note without the overprint. When the bank closed in 1926, the Hankow branch had the smallest circulation outstanding of all the bank's China branches - only S879 (all in notes in dollar denominations).

In this issue I interview Stephen Tai. Mr. Tai has written eleven books on a variety of numismatic areas and is probably best known to the chopmark world as the name behind sycee-on-line. I interviewed Mr. Tai in his office in Hsinchu, Taiwan. Please note, I asked Mr. Tai all the questions that were sent to me by CCC members. If the answer to your question d o e s n ot ap p ear in t he interview either Mr. Tai did not know the answer or had

Stephen Tai

no opinion.

Interview Colin Gullberg〔Taipei〕

CG – Colin Gullberg

ST – Stephen Tai

CG

completed eleven books on these areas.

Thank you so much for inviting me to Hsinchu. I have wanted to interview you for quite some time.

ST

CG Can you make a living doing research?

Yes, I recall you contacting me several years ago. I’m glad we can finally meet.

ST

CG First, I just want to ask a little about your background. I understand you are a private researcher and have been writing on numismatics for the past decade or so. How did you find yourself in this position?

No. When I retired, I decided to sell, over time, my sycee collection. I consigned the whole collection to several auction houses to be sold gradually. I started selling in 2010. The books are usually small print runs of 500 copies which does make some additional money.

ST CG Well, I studied law in university and headed the legal department of one of Taiwan's biggest hi-tech companies. It was a very difficult life; 14 hour days, frequent business travel and I really wanted out. So when I turned 42, about 15 years ago, I quit my job to do my own private research on China's financial history focusing on three areas: silver; mainly sycee but including chopmarked coins, gold; including gold bullion and ornaments, and governmental bonds and shares of China from 1874 to 1949. I have

38

Do you collect anything now?

ST I still collect Chinese gold ingots and gold Republic of China (ROC) gold, bonds, and stock certificates as research materials. These will be sold eventually. You could say I collect information and knowledge – like you!


CG

ST

I really know next to nothing about sycee. Weren't sycee made [by shroffs] by melting silver coins into ingots for tax payment purposes?

ST Yes. Chinese melted foreign silver coins to cast sycee in the beginning, but after they recognized their weights and silver finesses were standardized, silver coins circulated along sycee and became a new type of silver currency circulating in the market. The Qing government insisted in collecting tax payment in the form of sycee in the pure fineness, however, the policy was called off in the late 19th century, for the government had started producing milled silver coins since 1890s.

CG Why were sycee sometimes chopped? I mean if the sycee was destined for the government's treasury as a tax payment was the chopping done by government shroffs?

ST All the chopping was done post-manufacture, it would be chopped when being pulled out from the mold, and also when the sycee changed hands. In general, sycee was manufactured as payment for large transactions. Paying taxes in the form of silver sycee was mandated, and these tax payments could only be done through banks [i.e. shroffs] that were certified by the government. Small payments could be done with cash coins but Qing law stated any tax over one candareen in the beginning [later one tael] was payable in silver, not cash coins. For the above services, sycee in use had to carry enough information including place, date, name or tax accounts, so that the maker, as well as givers, would be held responsible for the content of the sycee.

CG As I you mentioned, you are mainly a researcher. Can you introduce your main areas of interest and what interests you about these areas?

Interview

As I said, I'm interested in gold, silver, bonds and shares and how these are related to Taiwan's and China's economic and financial systems. Specifically, I’m interested in the Nationalist gold [1937-50] which is important in both Taiwan's and China's economic history. After lengthy period of negotiation [1937-45] between the US and the ROC the US finally started to send gold to China in June 1945. Approximately six million ounces of gold were sent in 1945 and 1946. The gold was used to stabilize the currency system which had been ruined by the civil war as the ROC had increased the printing of paper money and hence inflation. Over one million ounces of gold are still kept in Taiwan's central bank to this day. My second area of interest is shares and bonds. China's government borrowed heavily for infrastructure projects [railways, etc.] in early 1900s. However, all the borrowing was done from the west and the documents were in nonChinese languages. Basically, the Chinese borrowers couldn't understand the ter ms and conditions. As an example, a series of 36- and 45-year bonds were issued to cover costs China was forced to pay from its defeat in the First Sino-Japanese War of 1895. This war transferred control of Taiwan to Japan. And as I mentioned, my first area of study was silver as it was used in the banking system. That is why I am interested in sycee and chopmarks

CG Have you ever been a coin dealer?

ST No, never. I have always been a collector and researcher.

CG When did you get started in coin collecting?

ST I became interested in coins at 3 when my mother gave me a tin can of cash coins that had belonged to my grandfather. It was my first toy. I probably really got interested at 7 or 8 when I started to read some books on cash and make some low cost purchases. I spent my weekends hanging out at the dealers' shops learning about coins and the coin business. 39


ST I have three originals and about 6 or 7 digitalized reprints. There are several in Tokyo that are accessible. I will try and find mine and send them to you.

CG Tell me about your website sycee on line http://www.syceeon-line.com/

ST

CG So a can of old coins was what got you interested?

ST Yes. I wanted to know my family history through my grandfather's old tin can. My mother gave me a challenge to find out our families' history. I later discovered he was a trader in Shanghai.

CG What books should I read if I’m interested in sycee or chopmarks [either in Chinese or English]?

ST There's not much in English about sycee. In fact, there's not much in Chinese either. I'm the only one doing this sort of research and my books are some of the few resources. For chopmarks you need to read the shroff handbooks as they are the only original source of information available.

CG Do you own any shroff handbooks? I have been trying to build a database of them to be translated.

Vladimir Belyaev owns the site but the content is mine. The information and coins on the site are mostly mine and in 2004 I wanted to spend my valuable time on my own projects so I decided to quit updating the site and I stopped paying the hosting fee. Vladimir maintains the site now [zeno] as I guess he thinks the content is valuable. My biggest problem was that people were constantly asking me questions about the authenticity of their sycee and its value. I am not a dealer and found these questions a distraction. I decided to withdraw from the on-line world to focus on what was important for me.

CG What advice you give to a new collector (not specifically chopmarked coins)?

ST Study first. Know the market. Now I write on things that I don't collect at all, it’s just an interest. You need to know the history.

CG How has the (chopmarked) coin/sycee market changed over your years of being involved in coins?

ST I am one of the driving forces of the sycee market by way of my research and artworks. I don't want to predict future changes in the markets but the prices in many Chinese collectibles are very high. Part of this is due to the limited investment opportunities Chinese savers have. I think it's a bubble now but who knows what will happen. In the long


run the bubble will deflate but who knows when. I don’t think the market is normal. Now some questions from our members:

Vladimir Belyaev asks: I have known Stephen Tai for about 20 years, and we coworked together on sycee on my website charm.ru. We published one paper together about Russian customs assay stamps found on Chinese sycee. I have one question for him - did he ever encounter more Chinese sycee with Russian stamps? I continue to work on this subject and am collecting all available information.

ST Yes, there are quite a lot of sycee with Russian stamps but I have basically stopped researching sycee as its too expensive.

ST The Japanese replaced all the non-Japanese coins with one yen and all the Mexican dollars were melted. The Japanese silver yen circulated only briefly and most of the time paper money was used.

Wolfgang Bertsch asks: Do you know anything about the use of sycee in Tibet and have you has seen examples which bear additional marks which may have been applied in Tibet.

ST No, nothing. They used Nepalese, Indian, Sichuanese coins. All the Tibetan sycee shown to me, came from Sichuan. At the time the economy of 'Tibet' was a larger area that basically included Sichuan which was more highly influenced by Indian and Nepal than Beijing.

CG

Cedric Cheung asks: I've noticed many sycee with stamps, but I assume they are placed there at the time of production. Are there any cases that you have seen where the sycee had chopmarks added later by a recipient or end user of the sycee? A corollary, did sycee actually circulate as currency to pay for things or was is to pay taxes?

ST As I mentioned sycee also circulated as currency and was not just used for tax payments, during changing hands, silver shops, assayers, or even owners would add on information with chops.

I have one more question. You mentioned you don't like to spend your time discussing and giving away information to other collectors. Why did you agree to meet me?

ST Because you are like me. I know you're really interested in the information and not just prices. I have been following what you have been doing with your newsletter and it adds real values to the understanding of numismatics.

CG Well, that's all the questions I have. Thanks so much!

Kirk Tuttle asks: In say 1880-1935 were silver dollars such as Japanese one yen and others freely circulating in Taiwan? Was a "Mex" silver dollar (8 reales or peso of any type) considered equal to yen in daily transactions?

ST You’re very welcome! I'm glad you came to visit.

不久前,筆者前往戴學文先生(Stephen Tai)位於中國臺灣 新竹的辦公室對他進行了專訪。戴先生著有11本書籍,涉及 各個錢幣領域,可能是對戳記幣世界最為瞭解的專家之一, 他的名字就署在“銀兩線上”網站(sycee-on-line)的下方。 為了此次專訪,戳記收藏者俱樂部的會員有向我提交一些問 題,我全都向戴先生進行了提問。如果在本次採訪中,您 未得到自己所提問題的答案, 那或是因為戴先生也不知道 答案,或是他對相關方面不 太瞭解,所以未作出回答。

CG 請問您是否可以靠以研究為生?

感謝您邀請我來新竹。我期待採訪您已久。

ST

ST

我記得您幾年前聯繫過我,現在我們終於見面了,真是

並不能。在我退休之後,決定慢慢出售我的銀錠收藏。

太高興了。

我是從2010年開始出售收藏的,逐漸將全部的收藏委託 給幾家拍賣行出售。這是因為書籍的印刷量通常很小,

CG

只有500本,這就會產生一些額外的費用。

首先,我想要問問您的背景情況。我知道您是獨立研究 員,在過去十多年中,您一直在撰寫錢幣學方面的著作 和文章。請問您為什麼會選擇從事這樣的工作?

CG 您現在還在收藏嗎?

ST 我在大學學的是法律專業,之後去了中國臺灣最大的高 科技公司法務部工作。那個時候很辛苦,每天工作14個 小時,經常出差,我真的很想離開。所以15年前,我42 歲的時候,我辭職了,開始對中國金融史進行獨立研究, 研究主要集中在三個方面 :首先是銀,主要是銀錠,但 也包括對戳記幣的研究 ;其次是金,包括金條和金飾 ;

ST 我還在收藏中國的金錠和中華民國黃金、債券和股票,這 些是我的研究材料,但最終也會出售。或者可以說,我 是在收藏資訊和知識,正如您一樣。

財政稅收用途的,那麼這個戳記是否是由政府看銀師加 蓋的?

我前面有提到,我最主要的研究領域是銀,因為它當時 使用於銀行系統,這也是我為何會對銀兩和戳記感興趣

ST

的原因。

所有的戳記均是在鑄造完成之後加蓋,有的是在銀兩脫 模的時候加蓋,有的是在銀兩轉手的時候加蓋。一般來 說,鑄造銀兩 是為了支付大宗貿易的款項。而銀兩也是 支付稅款的規定方式,這些稅款只能通過經政府認證的

CG 請問您是否曾經做過錢幣貿易商?

“銀行”(如看銀師)支付。小額的款項可以用銅錢支付,

ST

但是清朝的律法規定,任何數額超過一分(之後變更為 一兩)的稅款均應使用銀兩支付,而非銅錢。

沒有,一直以來都只是作為收藏者和研究者。

為了滿足以上用途需要,使用的銀兩必須附帶有足夠的 資訊,比如發行地點、年份、名稱或是稅款賬戶,這樣 也方便製造者及支付者對銀兩的含量負責。

CG 請問您是從何時開始收藏錢幣的?

CG

ST

您剛剛提到,您收藏主要是為了進行研究。可以介紹一 下您感興趣的主要領域,以及是什麼讓您對這些方面感

我從3歲開始對錢幣感興趣。當時我的母親給了我一罐銅

興趣嗎?

錢,這罐銅錢是我外祖父留下來的。這是我的第一個玩 具。我可能是從七、八歲開始真正地對錢幣感興趣,並

且開始讀一些關於銅錢的書籍,買一些便宜的錢幣。我 週末都在幣商商店裏學習錢幣和錢幣生意方面的知識。

正如我之前說的那樣,我對金、銀、債券、股票及其與 中國臺灣和中國大陸經濟和金融系統的關係很感興趣。 我尤其是對(1937-1950年間發行的)國府黃金感興趣, 國府黃金不論是對中國臺灣的經濟歷史還是中國大陸的

CG 所以是一罐舊錢幣引起了您的興趣?

經濟歷史都非常重要。美國和中華民國(在1937-1945年 間)經過了漫長的磋商,美國最終於1945年6月開始向中 國運送黃金。1945年至1946年間,大約有600萬盎司黃 金被運往中國。時逢內戰,中華民國加大印鈔量,造成

我的書是少數可尋的資源。戳記幣方面,您可以讀一些

發生了怎樣的變化?

看銀師的手冊,這是唯一可用的資訊來源。

ST

CG

鑒於我對這方面的研究和著作,我可以說是推動銀兩市

請問您是不是有一些看銀師的手冊?我正在建立相關的

場發展的動力之一。我不想對市場之後的變化進行預測。

資料庫,之後會進行翻譯。

許多中國收藏品的價格都很高,這可以部分歸因於中國 人用於保值的投資手段有限。我認為現在市場存在泡沫,

但是誰又知道之後會發生什麼呢?從長期來看,泡沫會破 滅,但是又有誰知道什麼時候會破呢?我認為這樣的市 場並不是一種正常的狀態。

The Smithsonian National Numismatic Collection: The Value of Money Exhibition Posted on 2/13/2020

Jeff Garrett〔USA〕 about 15 years ago when I was doing research for my book,100 Greatest U.S. Coins , many of which can only be found in the Smithsonian collection. The curators at the time, Dick Doty and Karen Lee, were kind, generous and provided ready access to the greatest coin collection in the world. My relationship with the NNC deepened during the several years that it took to complete my book

Encyclopedia of United States Gold Coins 1795‐1933 , which is based on the collection. During that time, it was decided by museum leadership to take down the giant coin exhibit that had been on display there for almost 40 years. The space was needed for a remodel of the museum to accommodate the Star Spangled Banner. There were no plans to replace the exhibit that had wowed visitors for decades with the A new exhibit at the National Museum of American History showcases many legendary rarities.

傑夫·加勒特〔美國〕 發表於 2/13/2020

我和史密森國家錢幣收藏(NNC)接觸已有多年。15年前, 我當時正在為我的著作《美國最偉大的100枚硬幣》進行調 查研究,這100枚硬幣中有不少都只能在史密森收藏中找 到。當時的館長迪克 · 多蒂(Dick Doty)和凱倫 · 李(Karen Lee)都對我非常的友好且慷慨,讓我能夠很方便地接觸到 這一世界上最偉大的錢幣收藏。之後的幾年中,我完成了另 一本著作《1795-1933年美國金幣百科全書》,其內容也是 基於史密森收藏。期間,我和 NNC 的關係又進一步深入。 那時,博物館在改建過程中為了容納下星條旗,需要使用原 來巨型錢幣展的空間,於是博物館的領導層決定拆除在那裏 展出了近40年的展覽。幾十年來,巨型錢幣展一直讓參觀者 讚歎不已,而那時還未用約西亞 · 禮來(Josiah Lilly)驚人 的金幣收藏來取代這個展覽。因此,錢幣界普遍對拆除巨型 錢幣展的決定感到震驚。 傑夫·加勒特 我是當時志願者團隊的一員,幫忙從展覽櫃中取出藏品,然 後重新放置到 NNC 錢幣庫中的一排排鐵櫃裏。這是一項很 美國國家歷史博物館在一個新推出的展覽中展出了很多傳奇

records a spade which features a hollow handle and pointed shoulder, and the side note“ 江 西 大收藏家鮑子年”which indicates that the coin is from Bao Zinian, a senior collector of Jiangxi Province, with some English descriptions below. As for round foot spades, there is one flat-shoulder spade with the inscription wu [ 武 ], one with lin [ 藺 ] and one with li shi [ 離石 ]. In terms of arched foot spades, the book covers a

The Value of Chinese Cash Coins From the Expedition Diaries of Ferdinand Von Richthofen between 1869 and 1872 Thomas Ulhmann〔Germany〕 In the 19th century, the cash coins known since pre-Christian times were still circulating in China as general currency. There is not much known about the purchasing power of the coins at that time. Money changer on a market in China. On the table you can see several stacked boards with several rows of coins. To be protected from general access a cage was put over the board. It is not possible to tell whether the coins are cash coins or possibly already minted 10 cash coins. The storage of the counted coins on boards served the faster exchange of silver coins into small change. The travelogue of the geographer Ferdinand von Richthofen about his trip to China gave us some information.1 In his published diaries, he not only deals with everyday situations, but also describes in many places the wages and prices that he learned about on his expedition. Ferdinand von Richthofen was bor n on May,5, 1833 in Carlsruhe in Upper Silesia. He studied geology in Breslau and Berlin and received his doctorate with a thesis on metaphyr, a volcanic rock. After successful completion of his studies, he worked for the Royal Imperial Geological Institute in Vienna from 1856. In 1860, he accompanied the Prussian envoy Count Friedrich Albrecht zu Eulenburg to East Asia. 2 The official Prussian legation had the task of concluding a treaty of friendship and trade with the nations of the far east. Richthofen left the legation, but stayed in the area. Later he travelled to the USA in 1862-1868, where he became well known in precious metal prospecting, particularly in California. In 1868, he received an offer from the Bank of California to explore and examine China's coal deposits. The Shanghai Chamber of Commerce became a further partner in the financing of the trip. In addition to the trip, from 1869-1872, the Chamber of Commerce also promoted the scientif ic and regional geographical surveys until 1875. On his expedition he visited 13 of the 18 provinces and was the first European to enter some areas.3 After his expedition, Richthofen worked as professor

of geography in Bonn from 1875, in Leipzig from 1883 and in Berlin from 1886, where he finally died in 1905.4 Due to his expeditions, he was regarded as "the German Empire's expert" for China, who ultimately also laid the foundation for the selection of the later colonial area of Qingdao.5

According to a map by J.G. Bartholomew published by National Geographic Magazine in 1912, digitized by the Harward College Library The two-volume work of the diaries of China was published in 1907 and is based on the actual notes of Ferdinand von Richthofen. They were compiled by his wife, companions and former students.

The descriptions of the use of [the] coins also illustrate the problem of value relations between wages and prices, the consequences of failed harvests, differences in supply and demand between regions and the problem of the constantly changing regional interpretations of weight units of the same name.


An excellent example of the problems of trade in that time is the description of cotton prices. For example, one pound in the harvest area cost 380 cash. At the market 360 li away (160-180 kilometers) the pound cost 300 cash although the transport cost an additional [cost] of 20 cash per pound. The solution is simple to this seemingly strange situation was the pound in the producing region weighed 22 ounces and the pound in the market was 6 ounces lighter at 16 ounces. So the price per ounce of cotton actually rose from 17.3 cash to 18.75 cash.6 Payments with cash coins were described as follows: Smaller payments up to 100 cash were made in exact amounts, i.e. the number of coins was actually counted and handed over. Larger payments were settled with strings, where each string was 100 cash. However, the value of the strung coins varied depending on the area and money changer. Richthofen found that mostly there where between 70 and 90 coins on a string. For example, on June 12, 1871, during a stop in the province of Shanxi he received a string of 100 cash, which consisted of 83 coins.7

From the description one can conclude that the coins were not simply 1,000 pieces on a string but 10 times 100 pieces or as already described 70 to 90 pieces each. This can also be found pictured on the early banknotes of China. Here, for example, on a note with a value of one Kuan (equivalent to 1,000 cash) 10 coin strings were shown to illustrate the value of the banknote. So one string should correspond to 100 cash coins. It also becomes clear in the description of Richthofen that during a money exchange from silver to cash, a government official came along with a "[...] load of copper cash over his shoulder [...]". 8Here it becomes clear that there could not only be 100 cash each. This one would only have a length of 10-15 cm, which would have made it impossible

to carry it over the shoulder. Conversely, a 1,000 cash line would have a length of 1-1.5 meters, which is very easy to shoulder. Travelers, like von Richthofen, usually carried silver in the form of small bars or mostly Mexican 8 Reale pieces, which were checked and chopped by money changers. If necessary, these were exchanged at banks, money changers or local businessmen for cash coins to cover their daily expenses. Banknotes were not a common means of payment in China in the 19th century and were rarely used, even though the country is considered the cradle of paper money.

1000 Cash banknote from the Ming Dynast y between 1368-1399. For a better understanding of the banknote, 10 strings of 100 Cash each were printed on the note.

From a travel report of the Austrian frigate Novara from the years 1857-1859 , almost 20 years before Richthofen, another interesting piece of information emerges.9 In a marginal note it is described that around 1850 for one Mexican dollar you got 3,600 bad cash or 1,300 selected cash. Despite the ban on sorting individual coins, coins of equal [face] value were valued differently. Around 1863 one received 1,050 - 1,100 cash for one silver dollar. Here one can assume that the population did not fully comply with the requirement that all coins, regardless of their weight, were of equal value.

8 Reales, minted in Mexico City, Spain, Charles IV 1798-1808 - due to circulation in China several times counterstamped (choped). Each stamp represents the authenticity check of the silver in a Chinese money changer. The price f luctuations of f lour also show how relevant environmental inf luences were at that time. The price of 10 liters of flour is quoted as 1,500 cash in 1870 in Shaanxi province because of the drought that caused the harvest to be so small. In 1871, the same quantity cost only 350 cash. The following table is intended to give an overview of the

relationship between wages and prices and to show the value of the cash coins at the time of their creation. At the same time it is clear that no generally valid information can be given about the value of a coin in its time. The often asked question: "What could one buy for a cash at that time" depends on too many different influences, which are usually not all visible in the sources.

中國銅錢的價值

基於費迪南·馮·李希霍芬1869年至1872年間旅華日記研究 托馬斯·烏爾曼〔德國〕 中國人自公元前便開始使用銅錢,直至19世紀,銅錢仍然

在中國作為通用貨幣使用。但是當時人們對這些銅錢的購 買力卻不甚瞭解。

中國市場上的錢幣兌 換商。可以看到桌 上疊着一些板子, 板子上面放着幾排硬幣。為了防止他人接觸,還在板子上放

了一個籠子。這裡無法辨別這些硬幣是古代銅錢還是經機 鑄的10文銅幣。板子上的硬幣數量已經數好,這樣的擺放

方式可以更快地將銀兩兌換成小額銅錢(見右圖)。

只有300文。 而這種看似奇怪的情況,實則是因為在產地,一磅等於22

在將銀子兌換成銅錢的過程中,政府官員通常“肩扛一堆銅

錢”。8而這裡的銅錢也無疑不止100文。因為100文,銅錢

的長度只有10至15釐米,不足以扛在肩上。反之,如果將1

000文錢串成一貫,其長度將在1到1.5米之間,這就很容易 抗在肩上了。

The Fifth Republic Inauguration Commemorative Coins (1981) Mark Lovmo 〔USA〕

The Fifth Republic Inauguration Commemorative coins were introduced at the end of one of the most controversial transition periods in South Korean political leadership in recent times. The designs of the coins, and the timing of these commemorative coins' release, were meant to conjure an atmosphere of harmony among the public in the wake of a brutal government crackdown on dissent. The government also issued the coins as a way to entice the people of the country to save for the future, and to help take their minds off of recent political developments.

The New Man in Charge When Park Chung-hee's seventeen-year tenure as president of the Republic of Korea came to an end with his assassination in October 1979, many in Korea hoped for political liberalization that would result in the replacement of the Fourth Republic’s draconian "Yushin" Constitution and, particularly, make possible the institution of direct elections for president. Instead, what they got was yet another strongman from the Korean Army with an overweening desire to "wear the purple". He was a sharp, fifty-year old general sitting at the apex of the powerful Korean military-intelligence apparatus at the time of Park’s death, and a man that historians have charitably characterized as either "stubborn and notably insensitive" or "taciturn and unloved". By exploiting the power vacuum that resulted from Park Chunghee's death, (not to mention a feeble civilian control over the military) Major General Chun Doo-hwan staged a rolling coup d’état from December 1979 to September 1980. His nine-month march to the throne was an unadulterated aggrandizement of power as he seized upon several key opportunities on the way, with the help of his friends in the army. In the role of head investigator of Park's assassination, Chun arrested the army's

Chief of Staff and took over the Korean Army headquarters in one evening (December 12, 1979). He soon got himself promoted to Lieutenant General, and in the following April, contrived to have the weak interim president appoint him acting director of the principal agency for monitoring domestic politics (the KCIA) that, incidentally, possessed virtually unlimited and unchecked power to arrest and detain any person on any charge. It was this last move that the United States ambassador considered to be "by far the most important reason that tensions escalated, erupting four weeks later in mid-May [1980]". Using as an excuse the threat posed by the mass demonstrations against his growing control of government functions, Chun essentially completed his takeover by following the playbook of the typical banana-republic coup d'état: In one evening (May 17, 1980), he declared martial law, closed the universities, dissolved the legislature, took over the broadcasting stations, banned all political activity, and arrested thousands of people who voiced opposition to his actions. The result was the country's largest anti-government rebellion since the end of the Korean War, the suppression of which forever left a black mark on Chun Doohwan's later tenure as president.

The First Commemorative Coins of the 1980s In the months after his May 1980 crackdown, Chun Doo-hwan busied himself with the formalities: He made himself interim president on September 1, 1980, and finished the job with a very carefully controlled indirect presidential election the following February and a new constitution that inaugurated the "Fifth Republic" on March 3, 1981. Soon after Chun became interim president, preliminary discussions began between the Bank of Korea and the Ministry of Finance about designing and issuing new commemorative coins marking the launch of

86

the new government. Finance officials expressed some initial disapproval to the idea, questioning the Bank's frequency of issuing commemoratives in recent years. Despite this, Bank officials quickly agreed to begin a study on the designs, denominations, and distribution of some new commemoratives. The work on the coins' designs began on September 12, 1980, with veteran currency designer and Art Director at the Bank of Korea, Jo Byungsu, orchestrating the efforts of the Korean


Mint’s design team. There soon emerged a few favored design subjects on Korean themes that were considered appropriate for the commemoration of a new era. In this regard, the design team reviewed a series of thirty sketches that were drawn up in 1978 for an abandoned coin project that was to commemorate the 30th Anniversary of the establishment of the South Korean government. The team believed that these unused images would be similarly appropriate for these newly proposed coins. Upon initial examination of these drawings however, the Governor of the Bank of Korea, Kim Joonseong, instructed the team to come up with newer, more novel ideas for the designs. At the same time, the Bank of Korea even tasked a few of its staff to conduct surveys of ordinary people from different walks of life in order to gauge any recurring or notable imagery that the people might suggest for the new commemorative coins. Perhaps as an indication of the level of interest in the new government, the surveys proved fruitless, and the design team eventually narrowed down the basic design ideas on their own. The resulting sketches that the team created included images of the Korean national flower, the Mugunghwa (a Korean variety of the hibiscus flower) and a composite image of ten animals and natural scenes traditionally associated with longevity. The images also included the Asian phoenix known as the bonghwang, which is a symbol used in South Korea to represent the office of the president, and the crane. Both images are traditionally suggestive of festivities and new beginnings. To represent national harmony and teamwork, the design team came up with an image of archetypal citizens beneath a f luttering Korean f lag. In the meantime, the Ministry of Finance reversed its previous misgivings about issuing the

The obverse design of the 20,000-Won coin features an image of everyday Koreans below a fluttering Korean flag. The people in the design represent, from left to right, s t u d e n t , s o l d i e r, m o t h e r, c i t i z e n , a n d f a r m e r. T h e text below, reads "twentythousand won".

commemorative coins, and impelled by their blessing, the design team soon completed the finishing work on the design sketches. Despite the Bank president's preference for new designs, the team significantly reduced the amount of time to prepare and sketch out its work by utilizing, with slight changes, some of the design work from the abandoned "30th Anniversary of the Republic" commemoratives. The final commemorative designs would appear on three coins: A 20,000-Won coin of 90% silver composition featuring the citizens-and-flag design, a 1,000-Won nickel-composition coin with the Korean phoenix design, and a 100-Won coin with the Mugunghwa design. On November 11, 1981 the President of the Bank of Korea finally affixed his consent to the proposed designs. While preparations at the mint got underway, the Bank of Korea confirmed the decision to mint the commemoratives in an application to the Ministry of Finance on February 13, 1981, explaining that the coins were an effort to celebrate the start of the Fifth Republic and were meant to help conjure an atmosphere of harmony, close cooperation, and national

development. Normally, the application process could take months, but in this case, approval was received four days later. The Monetary Policy Committee also soon gave its consent, and on March 13, 1981 the Bank of Korea ordered the mint to produce 100,000 pieces of the 20,000 Won-denominated coins,

two million of the 1,000 Won coins, and five million of the 100 Won coins. The order also stipulated that 20,000 of the coins were to be minted as proof versions, with delivery expected on July 30th of that year.

South Korea in 1980 The Korean economy in 1980 was f loundering from the effects of the previous year's oil crisis in the wake of the Iranian Revolution and from a world-wide recession that year. Nationwide economic growth was below negative 5 percent, and inf lation was high. In contrast to the previous administration's goal of massive growth, South Korea's central economic planners under the newly inaugurated "Fifth Republic" aimed for stability of the economy, particularly price stabilization. Their charge was to cut back on fiscal spending and tighten monetary policy, and they hoped to engender this belt-tightening behavior among the citizenry as well. Korean economic planners had been worried for some time about the low savings rate in the country in the 1960s and 1970s

compared to the much-higher household savings rates in Japan and Taiwan. Given that the Korean War and its aftermath had damaging effects on the Korean economy that lingered for years since its end, many households had difficulty saving, and when Koreans did save, it was usually for the short term. Consequently, the savings rate hovered at a comparatively low 20 percent of GNP in the 1970s. The new Fifth Republic government hoped to raise the level of private and corporate saving with a policy of higher, but stable, interest rates in the 1980s. They also used other schemes to encourage citizens to save. One was the manner in which the Bank of Korea's new commemorative coins were distributed upon their official release on August 14, 1981.

Issuing the“Fifth Republic�Commemorative Coins I n it s d ist r ibut ion sche me for is s u i ng t he new c oi n s commemorating the establishment of the Fifth Republic, the Bank of Korea went by three principles that were deemed important at the time: 1) Distribution of the coins should be as fair and even to as many citizens as was possible. 2) The issuance of the coins should be based on careful measurement and planning in order to avoid problems or delays in distributing the coins to the citizenry. 3) There should be set rules for distributing the coins through banking institutions that would encourage and reward personal savings, while reducing hoarding and reselling of the coins at a profit.

In the spirit of the Bank of Korea’s savings-incentive theme, the commemoratives were not to be sold, but to be given out essentially as rewards to people based on the number of savings accounts per household and the amount of savings per person. Winners of the 20,000-Won coins were drawn from a computerbased lottery program, while winners of the 1,000-Won and 100-Won coins were drawn from a list based on the duration of time that people had maintained their savings accounts. The government's decision to distribute the coins as gifts rather than sell them was based on considerations both practical and political. A major reason was to incentivize the general public

88

into following along with the government's new fiscal policy. Another reason was the Bank of Korea's desire to avoid the previous difficulties they encountered in fairly distributing the commemoratives for the 1978 42nd World Shooting Championships. But clearly an important consideration was the new government's need to engender positive attitudes towards the new leadership, and to assuage the hard feelings and divisiveness deriving from the political situation of the time. The distribution plan was announced to the public in newspaper reports in late July 1981 informing readers that the coins were legal tender pieces and would be distributed through banks to account holders according to the savings-account disbursement scheme. The first disbursement of the commemoratives took place on August 14th, lasting eleven days, and resulted in just over 60 percent of the coins actually being given to account holders out of the total of 7,061,000 to be distributed in Korea. A second disbursement from August 25th to the 31st ended up awarding a further 23 percent of the total to account holders. This left just over 16 percent of the total number of coins left undistributed. The winners of these coins either did not claim their coins from the bank or did not know they had been awarded coins as they did not check their names on lists displayed at specific bank branches. Most of these unissued coins were the low-denomination 100-Won commemoratives, and these were later given out on a first-come, first-served basis to people who opened new basic savings accounts. Some of the 20,000-Won coins were also left unclaimed, and these were similarly awarded to people who opened new family savings accounts after July 1, 1981.


Popularity and Current Market

The nickel-composition 1,000-Won coin of this series is shown here in mint finish (left) and unfrosted proof finish (right). The obverse of the coin features the Asian phoenix, traditionally symbolic of festivities and beginnings, but also of royalty in Korea, and since 1948 it has been used as a symbol of the president of the Republic of Korea.

Except for the harder-to-find frosted proof versions of the series that only number 2,000 coins each, such a large mintage for a commemorative issue probably made them appear as ubiquitous curios rather than valued collectibles. Consequently, the 1,000-Won and 100-Won mint-finish coins of this series have long been some of the most common, and lowest-priced, South Korean commemorative coins that collectors could find in the Korean numismatic market. The average citizen may have been uninterested in the coins since most of them were non-precious metal pieces with low-value denominations, and therefore the coins were of no real investment value. Added to this was the lack of any real popular excitement surrounding the coins’ release that was reminiscent of the country’s first silver commemorative coin in 1978.

In the years since, the collector market has responded quite well to the rarer pieces. The Fifth Republic Inauguration three-coin frosted proof sets have become highly valued by collectors. South Korean online retailers in 2020 were selling threecoin frosted proof sets in Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) holders and graded at Proof-69 Ultra Cameo for around 2,800,000 KRW ($2,300.00 in 2020 USD). Collectors will find the 18,000-mintage unfrosted-proof coins much more accessible and affordable, at around 80,000 KRW to 100,000 KRW for a 3-coin set. If current internet searches of these coins are any clue, many ordinary Koreans who come across them in a drawer somewhere seem to be unaware of the coins’ origins, and of the novel way in which they were issued in the late summer of 1981.

1981年, 近代韓國政治領導最具爭議的過渡時期落下帷幕。 政府剛剛對異見人士進行了殘酷的鎮壓, 為了在公眾中營造和諧的氣氛, 將其注意力從當時的政治發展態勢上移開, 同時也是為了鼓勵國人進行 儲蓄,以供將來之用, 政府設計併發行了大韓民國第五共和國成立紀念幣。

第五共和國紀念幣發行 韓國銀行發行新的第五共和國成立紀念幣時,遵循了三項 原則。當時,這些原則被認為是非常重要的 :

1981年7月下旬,報紙上公開了紀念幣的發行計劃,告知讀 者,新的紀念幣為法定貨幣,並計劃根據儲蓄賬戶付款通

紀念幣的受歡迎度和當前市場行情 大韓民國第五共和國成立紀念幣的總發行量為710萬枚,大

Gold Policies of the Republic of China Issuance and Redemption Stephen Tai〔Taipei〕 The government of the Republic of China (hereafter referred to as "the government") had always taken issuing government bonds as the primary means to make up for its shortage of fiscal revenue. In the late period of the Second Sino-Japanese War, the government began to print a large number of banknotes successively to support its substantial military expenditure, which led to severe inflation. Although the number of bonds issued rose by multiples, the rate still could not keep up with the fiat money devaluation. Consequently, the government's real income plummeted, and its bonds lost their

effectiveness. Si De-mao ( 席 德 懋 ), once served as head of the Department of Business, the Department of Issuing of the Central Bank of the Republic of China (hereafter referred to as "the Central Bank"), and general manager of the Bank of China while being an implementer of some financial policies, such as gold and silver management, and foreign exchange control. In June 1942, Mr. Si proposed to stop issuing government bonds and adopt a gold issuance policy instead, which was later approved by the government. [1]

Launching the Gold Issuance Policy currency system was on the verge of collapse along with the regime in the end.)

Fig. 1 400 oz. gold ingot promised by the US government

Although the fundamental problem of the large fiscal deficit was not able to be solved, banknotes could be taken back through the issuance of gold, which helped stabilize the currency market. (However, beyond the governmen's expectation, gold replaced banknotes to circulate in the market when the

D u r i n g t h e S e c o n d S i n o -J a p a n e s e Wa r, t h e Republic of China received a promise from the US government of selling more than 6 million ounces of pure gold (US$220 million) [2] to the ROC government after intense negotiations. With the support of this large amount of gold from the US, the domestic gold market, which had been closed during WWII, reopened in September 1943. The government then adopted a series of gold policies as a means to stabilize China's currency. The Central Bank received more than 6 million ounces of pure gold from the US, bought gold at its low point in the market, and confiscated gold from Japan after WWII, but it still couldn't make ends meet. There were merely over 1.5 million taels of gold left [3], while roughly 5 to 5.1 million taels of gold had been issued in Chongqing and Shanghai.


The Issuance of Gold The "Measure for Issuing Spot Gold" policy (“ 出 售 黃 金 現 貨 辦 法 ”) (in force between September 1943 and May 1945) was the earliest gold policy introduced by the Republic of China. The policy focused on the broad market, aiming to control the ratio of gold to banknotes, and hoped that gold and silver shops would cast these gold ingots into ornaments or smaller bars for the general public. Nevertheless, the transaction amount was too large for general gold and silver shops to buy up, forming a situation where the market was controlled by a few wealthy business people and speculators. As a result, the unit of weight traded in the gold market was reduced to "10 taels" on October 23, 1944. [4] China's Banks also sold futures apart from selling spot gold due to the severe delay of the US gold delivery. As a result, the banks did not make delivery in China until gold arrived from the US. Though there was no clear record of the total number of spot gold and futures transactions, it was estimated to be around 700,000 ounces of pure gold.[5] For delivery, a great number of US gold ingots were directly put on the market or cut up into smaller bars or pieces and then entered the market. Meanwhile,

the Shanghai Central Mint also began striking various gold bars under "10 taels", commonly known as "central mint bars". The Deposit Measure for Exchanging Fiat Money for Gold ( 法幣折合黃金存款辦法 ) policy (in force between September 1944 and June 1945) was another policy introduced by the Republic of China to absorb the floating capital of fiat money and stabilize the currency value during the spot gold trading period. According to the policy, the minimum exchange unit had been reduced to one tael; thus, the general public could also participate in exchanges. Moreover, the Central Bank had entrusted the Bank of China, the Bank of Communication, the Farmers Bank of China, the Central Trust of China, and the Postal Remittances and Savings Bank to jointly handle the implementation of this policy in Chongqing, Chengdu, Kunming, Guiyang, Guilin, Xi'an, Lanzhou and so on. Hence, the measure became the earliest and the most comprehensive gold policy of the Republic of China. Chongqing Central Mint originally planned to strike three kinds of pure gold bars—respectively, one tael

[3] 戴 學文 . 2017.《你 所不知 道 的 國 府 黃 金》[M]. 臺北 :波多西工作室 .

Fig. 2 Central mint bars from different issuing times 95


of gold, 5 taels of gold, and 10 taels of gold. However, the Supreme Council of the Ministry of National Defense abruptly announced the Gold "Donation" Measure for Gold Buyers and Depositors ( 黄金购户存 户献金办法 ) on July 30, 1945, stipulating that whoever exchanged gold for more than one tael would have to offer an extra 40% of the gold to the government compulsorily. As a result, the Chongqing Central Mint struck the following four kinds of gold bars afterward: 0.2 taels, 0.4 taels, 3 taels, and 6 taels. According to statistics, the total amount of the exchanged gold was 2,207,332 taels per month. [6] Based on the above method, people who exchanged gold for more than one tael would have to offer an extra 40% of the gold to the government compulsorily. [7] Therefore, 1.38 million taels of gold were actually exchanged in total. The reason for the implementation of the gold issuance policy (in force between March 1946 and February 1947) lies in the fact that after the victory of the Second Sino-Japanese War, China's industry and commerce came to a standstill, with many things waiting to be done. The confrontation between the Chinese Nationalist Party and the Communist Party caused panic, and the hoarding and speculation of gold were prevalent. Against this background, hot money throughout China rushed to Shanghai, and the rising prices of gold and goods set off the socalled Shanghai Gold Trend. Despite opposition, the

Central Bank that had just relocated from Chongqing to Shanghai insisted on issuing gold in the market and unusually entrusted gold to several Shanghai gold shops. Therefore, on behalf of the Central Bank, the entrusted gold shops struck pure gold ingots into usual 10-tael gold bars with a fineness of 99% and issued them afterward. It was not until the end of 1946, with the intervention of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of China, that the Central Bank commissioned the Central Mint to strike a 10tael gold bar. However, the gold issuance policy was suspended shortly afterward when the government promulgated the Economic Emergency Measures Scheme ( 經 濟 緊 急 措 施 方 案 ) on February 16, 1947, which stipulated the Central Bank to stop issuing gold.[8] Over the past two years, the Central Bank had issued about 3.5 million taels of gold.

Fig. 3 Chongqing's central mint bar, struck from a part of pure US gold ingot

The Redemption of Gold On Februar y 16, 1947, as was stipulated in the Economic Emergency Measures Scheme, the Central Bank stopped issuing gold and placed an embargo on gold sales, including gold bars and gold ornaments; only the Central Bank was allowed to purchase gold at a quoted price. The business activities of silver shops were nearly shut down because of the strict restriction and control. Therefore, gold owners constantly fled to identify new ways of earning money. Some of them went through Guangzhou to Hong Kong, where the price was much higher than the quotation from the Central Bank. In addition, the gold held by government agencies and state-owned

institutions was transferred to the Central Bank along with foreign exchange. Under the accumulation policy, up until August 1948, before the currency reform was implemented to issue Chinese gold yuan notes ( 金 圓 券 ), the Central Bank's gold-stock rose to approximately 2.76 million taels[9], an increase of only 1.2 million taels, a quarter of the 5 million taels of the gold that sold previously. Of the three-fourths, or 3.8 million taels of gold could not be taken back. In addition to some of the outflows, there was still a large amount of gold whose whereabouts was un-known. It was not


until the government issued the Chinese gold yuan notes and forced the exchange of folk gold that the previously unknown gold was uncovered. The issuance of the Chinese gold yuan notes symbolized the nationalization of gold. Not only were gold sales prohibited, but the gold ornaments formerly legally held by people were no longer allowed to held, and these gold ornaments needed

to be ex-changed for the Chinese gold yuan notes within a specific time limit. In just over two months. Consequently, all major cities in China had redeemed 1.677 million taels of gold from the general public, of which Shanghai had the most, with more than 1.11 million taels of gold.[10] The gold was what the government had been struggling to obtain since the implementation of the Economic Emergency Measures Scheme for a year and a half.

Gold Ornaments Possessed by the General Public

Fig. 5 The Shanghai Central Mint used gold ornaments as raw materials to strike 5-tael gold central mint bar whose fineness was slightly low

According to a file from the Central Bank, the thirteen banks handling the Chinese gold yuan notes exchange business near Shanghai sealed up the redeemed gold in the warehouse of the Shanghai Central Mint in November, awaiting acceptance and re-casting. A total of 448 boxes of gold were put into storage, all of which was jewelry like earrings, rings, necklaces, etc., and various smaller gold bars, with a gross weight of about 870,000 taels, accounting for about 80% of the total amount redeemed in Shanghai. [11] This explains why a significant proportion of the gold issued by the Central Bank in

the past had not been redeemed before. The gold had already been manufactured into a variety of jewelry, which also con-firmed Eduard Kann's view. He believed that gold ornaments in the Republic of China were characterized by relatively fixed color standards and simple appearance and few precious jewelry inlaid for secure exchange. In short, it had a robust mone-tary character.[12] To avoid inflation, lots of gold ornaments were stored by the general public as currency.

After the failure of the issuance of the Chinese gold yuan notes, the Central Bank temporarily changed its plan and instructed the Central Mint to suspend the striking of a large number of folk gold-ornaments. It gave priority to the striking of central mint bars and provided a method for gold and silver exchange. Therefore, the gold that the Central Bank forced people to exchange around the country began to issue again. Between November 17, 1948, and February 5, 1949, the Central Mint used gold or-naments as raw materials to strike a large amount of 5-tael coins, one-tael central mint bars, and a few 5/10-tael central mint bars. After the middle of December 1948, when the gold and silver exchange was on the verge of failure due to severe bank runs around China, the Central Mint struck more than 1,200 400tael central mint bars, which were intended to be used later in Taiwan. [13] The fineness of gold-ornaments was generally low, and there was no fixed standard. After being used as raw material, the Central Mint was too busy to refine these; thus, it couldn't reach the official standard of above 99.5% fineness as the US gold ingots. The quality of different central mint bars was also uneven, and there was no standard to speak of. It was not until December 13, 1948, when the government finally faced the fact that the fineness of all the central mint bars should be above 95%[14],

which was lower than the average fineness of gold ornaments redeemed by the Central Bank at that time.[15] It had also become the lowest standard for the Central Bank to issue gold at. The redeemed gold Jewelry in the Chinese mainland was later transported to Sichuan, Taiwan, and other places. It was struck initially and then sold to the public. At the same time, there was a phenomenon similar to that of Shanghai central mint bars. In Taiwan, since the second half of 1949, under the commission of the Taiwan Bank and the Ministry of National Defense ROC, the Taipei Central Mint and the Jin Zuei Shan ( 金 瑞 山 ) Gold Shop central mint bars had also used the gold jewelry to produce bars and wafers [16], which was also the reason why the fineness of some of the early central mint bars of the Taipei Central Mint and gold wafers of the Taiwan Bank was not good. In Sichuan Province, mints in Chongqing and Chengdu had used the folk gold ornaments to strike central mint bars since August 1949. Although the fineness standard was set at 98%, in times of emergency, these mints often gave up refining the central mint bars whose fineness thus became problematic.[17] The central mint bars were in high demand, for they were exchanged for currency in the marketplace and became soldier's pay. After a period of striking, folk gold orna-ments had largely disappeared from the Central Bank's inventory.

釋出與回收

民國的黃金政策 戴學文〔臺北〕

國民政府,在遭遇財政收入不足時,一向以發行公債

歷任中央銀行發行、業務兩局首長、中國銀行總經理

債發行數量雖以倍數攀升,依然無法趕上法幣貶值速

黃金的建議被採納後,國民政府從此轉向,積極採用

作為彌補財源的主要手段。不過,抗戰後期,為了支 應龐大的軍費,不斷印鈔,導致嚴重的通貨膨脹,公 度,政府實質收入銳減 ;公債,已不再靈光。

等要職的席德懋,同時也是金銀外匯等金融政策的操

刀者,1942年 6月,提出不再發行公債,改對市場釋出 【1】 黃金政策。

啟動黃金政策

圖1 美國政府承諾提供的400盎斯純金金磚 釋出黃金,雖無法解決財政赤字的根本問題,但釋出黃金,

內黃金市場於1943年9月重新開放,並且,國民政府在往後

當貨幣政策宣告失敗,被迫轉型時,則可改向民間強制買

1947年2月16日《經濟緊急措施方案》頒佈,不再釋出黃金,

因而收回政 府鈔票,將 有助於穩定貨幣 市場 ;另一方面, 回黃金,重新作為國家資本。只不過,到了最後,當幣制隨 同政權瀕臨崩潰之際,大量黃金竟取代鈔票在市場流通起 來,這是國民政府所始料未及的。

抗戰期間,國民政府在歷經多次談判後,終於獲得美國政

府出售二億二千萬美元約合六百多萬盎斯純金的承諾 ,因 【2】

此,在大量美國黃金的支持下,戰爭爆發後隨即關閉 的國

採取了一連串的黃金政策,作為穩定金融貨幣的手段。直到

並改放為收為止。

在兩年多的時間裡,國民政府釋出大量黃金。央行雖有自 美陸續運來的600多萬盎斯純金的大筆進賬(圖1)以及戰

後逢低自市場購回、沒收“敵產”黃金等部分挹註,但仍入 不敷出,僅剩150多萬市兩【3】,粗估已有500萬 -510萬市兩

釋出黃金 「出售黃金現貨辦法」(1943.9-1945.5),是國民政府最早

當時出售的黃金,除了“現貨”之外,由於美方運金時程嚴

鈔比價之外,也寄望金店銀樓買下金磚後,化整為零,改

交貨。黃金現貨與 期貨的交易總數,並無明確記錄可稽,

的黃金政策,不過,銷售僅以大盤着眼,目的除了操控金 鑄金飾或條塊,繼續供應一般百姓。但,實際上,由於交 易金額過於龐大,一般銀樓金店難以負擔,形成少數富商

與投機客壟斷的局面 ;因此,1944 年10月23日,交易單位 被降為10市兩。

【4】

重拖延,銀行於是改賣起「期貨」,等到黃金自美運抵後始 【5】 但 根據推估,應在純金70萬盎斯左右。

為了交割需要,有大量美國金磚被直接或切割後投入市面, 中央造幣廠也在此時加入鑄 造行列,開始生產十兩以下各 式金條,即一般所稱的“廠條”他(圖2)。

圖2 中央造幣廠在各時期所鑄造的廠條 「 法 幣 折 合 黃 金存 款 辦 法 」(1944.9-1945.6),則 是在 黃

金現貨買賣期間,為了吸收民間法幣遊資,穩定幣值所推

出的另一辦法。由於最低存兌單位降至一市兩純金,一般

民眾也有能力參與,另加上央行委託中國银行、交通银行、

農民銀行及中央信託局與郵政儲金匯業局,在重慶、成都、

昆明、貴陽、桂林、西安、蘭州等地共同辦理,因此,成 為民國最早、具全 面性的黃金政策。

重慶中央造幣廠原計劃鑄造一市兩、五市兩與十市兩三種

純金廠條供應,不過,國防部 最高委員會又於1945年7月

30日臨時宣佈《購戶、存戶獻金辦法》,規定兌付金額超過 (

不含 ) 一市兩者,強制捐獻四成的關係,為了符合作業需要,

重慶廠又另追加鑄造了二市錢、四市錢、三市兩、六市兩等 四種廠條。 (圖3)

據 統 計, 該 辦 法 累 計 每 月 法 幣 折 合 黃 金 存 兌 總 數 為

制捐獻四成,至1946年底的獻金共為82,468市兩【7】,因此,

實際兌出138萬市兩純金。

「黃金拋售」政策 (1946.3-1947.2),則是肇因于,抗戰勝

利後,工商停頓,百廢待舉,國共對峙的態勢,造成人心

惶惶,囤積炒作風氣更加盛行,在此背景下,全國各地遊

資紛紛湧向上海,金價、物價不斷翻漲,掀起了所謂「上海 黃金風潮」。甫自渝返滬的央行,不顧反對,執意在市場拋

售黃金,不尋常地將庫存黃金委託少數上海金號,一方面, 取代中央造幣廠,將純金金磚改鑄成上海慣用的十市兩烚 赤金條,成色990,另一方面,則代替中央銀行執行拋售任

務。直到1946年底,在財政部的介入下,央行才又另委託

中央造幣廠鑄造烚赤十兩金條,但已時不我予,不久之後, 【8】 黃金拋售即宣告停辦。

此一期間,總計拋售了央行約350萬市兩的黃金。

回收黃金 1947年2月16日, 《經濟緊急措施方案》頒佈,央行不再釋

出黃金,也同步 禁止百姓買賣黃金,包括金條、金 飾等, 僅允許由央行按牌價收購 ;銀樓業務則受到嚴格約束與管

控,幾近停擺。在此背景下,民間黃金紛紛躲避,有部分

收回的3/4,即380萬市兩左右,除部分流往外地之外,仍

有大量去向不明。直到國民政 府發行金圓券,全面強制收 兌民間黃金後,這些黃金的蹤跡才曝了光。

則經由廣州,流往價格遠高於央行牌價的香港,出售圖利。

金圓券的發行,象徵著黃金的國有化,黃金不僅禁止買賣,

一併移轉央行。

圓券。結果,全國各大都市在兩個多月內共兌入了167萬7

另一方面,政府機關、國營機構所持有的黃金,隨同外匯 在強力聚斂下,直至1948年8月實施幣制改革,發行金圓券

前夕為止,央行黃金庫存上升至 276萬市兩左右 ,僅增加 【9】

約120萬市兩左右,是先前釋出500多萬市兩的1/4 。未 能

連民間原本合法持有的金飾,亦不得再藏匿,限期兌換金

【10】 千餘市兩黃金,其中上海最多,有111萬多市兩。 這些黃金,

正是《經濟緊急措施方案》實施一年半以來,官方苦無辦 法獲取的部分。

隱藏市井的民間金飾 一份央行檔案顯示,11月間上海附近經辦金圓券兌換業務

的十三家銀行依其指示,將收兌之黃金封存上海中央造幣 廠倉庫,等候驗收改鑄。結果,入庫黃金共有448箱,都

是百姓兌交的耳環、戒指、項鏈等首飾及各式小型條塊, 【11】 這也 毛重約87萬餘兩,數量已約占上海收兌總數的 8成。

說明了,央行過去釋出的黃金,有相當大的比例未能回收, 原來是被打造成為各種首飾藏身民間的緣故。 (圖4)

這也印證了耿愛德 (Eduard Kann) 的看法。他認為,民

國金飾的特點在於,為了方便 變現起見,不只成色標準相

被民眾當作貨幣蓄藏起來。

金圓券發行後,原本應被改鑄四百市兩金磚當作庫存的大 量民間金飾,因金圓券爆發危機,央行臨時改變計劃,指

示中央造幣廠優先鎔鑄廠條,提供「金銀存兌辦法」使用。 於是,央行在各地強制收兌的黃金,又再度釋出。

自1948年11月17日至1949 年2月5日止,中央造幣廠以民間

金飾為原料趕鑄了大量五市錢、一市兩廠條,及少數五市

兩、十市兩。1948年12月中旬以後,因各地擠兌問題嚴 重, 在金 銀存兌 瀕臨失 敗 之際,又 加鑄四百市兩廠條1200多 【13】 條,應系係作為後送臺灣之用。

民間首飾成色普遍偏低且無固定標準,被當作原料後,因 中央造幣廠無暇精煉,因此無法達到官方所宣稱與美國金

軍餉,需求量極大,經過一段時間的去化改鑄後,民間金

收兌自大陸各地的首飾雜金,後來也輾轉運到四川、臺灣等 地,並儘先改鑄,對民間釋出,同時也出現了與上海廠條類

似的現象。在臺灣,自1949年下半起,在台灣銀行、國防

部的委託下,臺北中央造幣廠與金瑞山金鋪均曾鎔鑄過【16】, 這也是部分早期台廠廠條及台銀金片的成色表現都不理想 的原因。在四川,從1949年8月起,重慶與成都也以首飾雜

金鎔鑄廠條,雖 設定成色標準為 98%,不過當遇有緊急狀

PCGS Certifies Coins Struck for Royalty

Great Britain and properties struck by the Royal Mint that featured animals. These dies included designs from Australia incorporating a kangaroo on the 1937 penny and a Merino ram head for the 1937 shilling; an East Africa 1937 shilling with a lion; a 1937 Fiji six pence with a sea turtle; a Great Britain 1937 farthing with a Eurasian wren; a 1937 Ireland feoirling with a woodcock bird, a half pingin with a sow and litter, a pingin with a hen and chicks, a three pingin with a hare, a six pingin Irish wolfhound, a scilling with a bull, a floirin with a salmon, and a half coroin with an Irish hunter horse; a 1934 Mauritius half rupee with a stag; a New Zealand 1937 sixpence with a huia bird, and 1937 florin with a kiwi bird; and a 1923 South African farthing with a pair of cape sparrows. Each die was used to strike uniface sterling silver coins in specimen finish or proof quality. A total of five sets were produced and placed into boxes to hold the coins. Of the five sets produced by the Royal Mint, a set was presented to each of the members of the Royal Family that had visited the mint that day, including Queen Mar y, Princess Elizabeth, and Princess Margaret. Those sets are still owned by the Royal

Royal visits and tours are prestigious events for those who host such occasions. This is certainly no exception in the case of the Royal Mint, which hosted such a tour and subsequently created treasured rarities for the occasion. On December 13, 1937, a Royal Visit to the Royal Mint occurred. The hosted royalty included Queen Mary, consort to King George V, and her two grandchildren, Princess Elizabeth (future Queen Elizabeth II), then age 11, and Princess Margaret Rose, just seven years old. Escorted through the mint by Deputy Master of the Royal Mint, Sir Robert Johnson, the Royal Family got to witness how the coinage of Great Britain and its territories was minted. The Royal Family was taken to see special coins being struck and were presented with these very same coins. For this wonderful occasion, the Royal Mint prepared special dies featuring the designs of coins under

Family and are in the Royal Collection. A set was also given to the Royal Mint Museum and has since been removed. The final set was given to Sir Robert Johnson, who had accompanied the Royal Family on their visit to the Royal Mint. His set was sold and broken up after his death. The coins from Sir Robert Johnson set had appeared in the auction since their sale in other collections and auctions, including several pieces in the Norweb collection. Any coin from the set is special and incredibly rare, as they are currently unique outside of institutions. In January 2020, PCGS received the honor of grading three coins from the Sir Robert Johnson set. Two of the coins were the two pieces in the set from New Zealand. The only Fiji coin was the third piece submitted for grading. All coins were examined, verified to be genuine, and graded SP65 by PCGS.

It is a great honor to see coins marking a moment in history where, on one December day in 1937, a tour of the mint produced something exquisite for two young girls and provided a treasure for the numismatic hobby for years to come.

COINWORLD.COM | JANUARY 2020

Introducing SmartTrack DNA Rick Stelzer〔USA〕

Coin World's SmartTrack DNA app gives "coins a voice" to deliver information, connectivity and value to collectors What is driving this? The evolution of technology and consumer expectations. Over the past five years we have seen the search for numismatic information become ubiquitous. Social media platforms allow collectors to share, compare, and rate the quality of the experience; mobile devices allow for instant access to critical news and information. Coin World 's digital strategy is to push content on any device, at any time, with a few taps on a smartphone delivering a full complement of services. One thing is clear: collector experiences with our brand, and with others in the coin hobby, are set to become even more intense and defining. Why does that matter? Because such experiences drive twothirds of the decisions that collectors make, while price drives the remainder.

C

oin World is launching an exciting new service that will make coins smarter, more secure and connected. By giving each coin a "voice", collectors will be able to digitally authenticate, trace its journey throughout the distribution network, and review pertinent information thereby enhancing the collector experience. Print and Digital content is about to enter a more challenging, yet innovative time. As a vast amount of consumer power has been provided in the digital age, reaching our audience on their timeframe and terms with relevant and responsive information is not only desired, but expected. We are working on a series of initiatives that will deliver specific experiences for each of our customer groups — collectors, dealers, auction houses, grading companies, and the mints.

At the 2018 American Numismatic Association World's Fair of Money convention we launched the Coin World Marketplace. It's an online eCommerce platform for commercial dealers only that allows for the selling of their inventory to coin collectors. The buying experience is monitored by Coin World through our Escrow Checkout ser vice, which ensures a safe and secure experience, for both buyer and seller. Currently 60,000+ coins are available for sale on the platform, from more than 40 dealers. Our recent survey of visitors and users revealed that 65 percent are "more likely" to buy knowing that Coin World is making sure the process runs smoothly. Almost half said they bought coins from a dealer that they were previously unfamiliar with. Most surprisingly, 90% stated they have not bought yet because the coin they seek is not be offered. We are pleased with the feedback but have more work ahead to expand the inventory and dealer participation.

107


What to expect in 2020 In the interactive and digital world, "publishing" extends to virtualized media on mobile devices to create personalized experiences for collectors.

2019 saw us launch Coin World Enterprise— a dealer software solution that provides an integrated system to manage their inventory; seamless placement of products on eCommerce sites like Coin World Marketplace and eBay; order management, including sales, shipping and accounting; and the option of a fully integrated website for their business. We offer these services after many dealers indicated they needed technical assistance with modernizing their business and they have trouble finding a solution provider that understands the nuances and uniqueness of the coin hobby. With the release of these programs, our role within the hobby has evolved. We greatly value the relationships we have with our customers and we are listening to your thoughts, ideas, and concerns. Most indicate that more needs to be done to invigorate coin collecting and attract new, and younger, audiences. We agree and have been working to provide new ideas, monitoring trends, understanding data, aggregating information, and creating better content. We feel a responsibility to, along with others, lead the hobby to a more innovative and interesting future. We applaud others who are harnessing resources to fight the invasion of counterfeit coins: David Ryder, who is providing transformational leadership at the United States Mint; the leaders at Industry Council for Tangible Assets (ICTA), who formed the Anti-Counterfeiting Task Force (ACTF); as well as the leadership of the American Numismatic Association (ANA) and Professional Numismatics Guild (PNG). We also support ICTA in its focus on other problems, such as the effects of South Dakota vs. Wayfair, which permits states and localities to tax all retail sales based upon the location of the buyer. We also have some other initiatives as we focus on designing interactions and delivering new experiences across several channels — better-designed online customer experiences, expanded digital of ferings, and enhanced mobile connectivity.

108

A graded coin, for example, is a touch point for a collector considering whether to add it to their collection. Each of us has walked a show, admiring dealers' offerings from booth to booth. You come across a coin of interest and ask to see it. You like the coin but don't know anything about it – inside your head, you begin to ask questions: What's its history? Where did it come from? Is there a "better" version at another booth? Is this a fair price? Yes, its graded in a holder, but is it real? You rarely ask the questions aloud, since you don't want to appear uneducated or offend the dealer. Instead, you hand it back, and tell the dealer, "Thanks, but I'm going to keep looking around, and if I'm interested, I'll come back." Neither the collector nor dealer is satisfied with the experience, but each goes about their business. What if there was a better experience that could answer those questions, satisfying both parties, and contribute to an interactive and productive conversation to evaluate a potential purchase, and manage the decision-making journey? To win over "on-demand collectors", we must know more about them – what they expect, what works for them – and be able to reach them with the right kind of interaction. Data lie at the heart of building that deeper relationship and understanding.

Introducing the SmartTrack DNA tag The ser vice, initially for graded coins only, will "tag" each coin with Near Field Communication (NFC) labels designed to enable coin enthusiasts to digitally authenticate and access product-related content with the tap of an NFC-enabled smartphone (iPhone 7 running iOS 11, or newer; Android devices running Ice Cream Sandwich, or newer). It operates within a radius of about 1–2 inches and allows for two-way communication, with both devices involved being able to send and receive information. It is similarly used, and perhaps most commonly seen, with Apple Pay and Google Pay transactions. With a SmartTrack DNA tag, each coin has its own DNA, in the form of an encrypted unique ID number


The Multi-faceted benefits of SmartTrack DNA Brand protection: safeguard brands against counterfeits

Authentication

Digitally verify that a coin is genuine, anytime and anywhere inthe world, by letting distribution network providers use unique product identifiers and secure authentication services

Unique Once the coin has a SmartTrack DNA tag, its Information electronic Tracing the Distribution Network: secure coin integrity by monitoring

Traceability

Assure the coin’s provenance and traceability, as each unique ID can be assigned to a mint, grader, or dealer such that any deviation can be detected and flagged

Quality assurance

Assure a coin’s history and handling profile, by noting how it has moved through the distribution network from mint to wholesaler to grader to dealer to collector with each transit or transfer

Usage compliance

Detect whether a coin has been interfered with or opened prior to sale, within the distribution network, or post-sale

Location-based data: determine actual location in the distribution network Mobile proximity marketing

Target marketing messages to collectors based on their interests, collection, or location when coin purchased or sold

securely fixed on the surface of the holder. Our platform will enable coins to be better safeguarded as they move through the hobby's distribution network— (from mints to authorized purchasers to wholesalers to dealers to collectors) to protect them from counterfeiting, combat gray markets, and provide communication with a coin's owner directly, in a targeted manner. Coin World is creating a submission center where coins will be connected with the technology. Why is this important? The number of electronic devices that have their own IP addresses and connect to the internet, in what is commonly referred to as the Internet of Things (IoT), is forecasted to reach 80 billion by 2020. But not just electronic devices are connecting to the IoT. Other everyday objects can now use embedded NFC tags for connectivity. A growing array of familiar consumer goods, including apparel, footwear, foods and beverages, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals are now becoming smart and cloud-connected with useful product information. A recent study by Vandagraf International, a leading market-research institute, forecasts the total market potential of connected packaging and labels will jump to 1.2 trillion units in 2021 and 1.5 trillion units in 2026. What's behind this rapidly growing trend of adding connectivity to consumer products? For many brand owners, it's versatility, made possible by dynamic year-over-year growth of NFC-enabled devices, generally available on all smartphones bought in the last three years. The SmartTrack DNA technology is remarkably flexible and enables a wide variety of applications, including digital authentication, tracing a tagged item through the distribution chain, preand post-sale collector engagement, robust brand protection, and pricing information.

Coin World aims to build a coalition within the numismatic industr y, including the mints, their authorized purchasers, wholesalers, graders, dealers, auctioneers, industry associations, task forces, and content providers, to provide collectors with useful information that supports the hobby and uses technology to reach out to the current, as well as next generation of collectors. It is our hope that the SmartTrack DNA app will further that endeavor to

109


reach those who don't feel they have the necessary information.

Scenes from future of Coin World’s on-demand marketing Meet tomorrow's collector: Justin. His rising expectations will require us to direct a variety of "scenes" in which technologies, messages, and choices engage him with products, services and trusted communities.

How does it work? No app is required to access basic coin details (year, description, category, grading service information, etc.), which a user can do by simply tapping their NFC - enable d smar tphone agains t the c oin's Smar tTrack DNA tag. The phone's NFC reader captures the electronic ID number of the tag. The ID number directs the phone online where the user can access the Coin World app's features via their phone's web browser. The customer will be able to authenticate the coin from the grader's data and obtain rudimentary information.

Coin World is developing more and more products targeted at digital natives. "Natives" are those dealers and collectors who are likely to use their smar tphones or other devices to access data digitally rather than look in a physical library. Each SmartTrack DNA tag is designed with a tamper-proof antenna, so if it is damaged or an attempt to remove it is made, the chain of communication is broken. Thus, the coin will need to be resubmitted for a replacement tag. Those who want to receive additional information and access more features — such as traceability thr o u gh th e di s tr ib u ti o n n e t w o r k (in c lu din g transfer of ownership); transaction history; pricing, population and auction data; ability to manage their coin inventory and "want lists", etc.— will need to download and register the free SmartTrack DNA app.

1 Curious about a coin with a SmartTrack DNA tag, Justin taps it with h is smar tphone. Both have near f ield communication (NFC) capabilities. 2 Justin's phone provides him with basic details about the coin including its authentication and journey through the distribution network. He's invited to download and join the 3 free SmartTrack DNA app to get more information and coin collecting features.

4 Meanwhile, he sends the coin's photo to friends to see what they think. He receives a message from 5 Coin World offering him a free three-month trial subscription if he buys the dealer's coin.

6 Friends like the coin, so he completes the purchase and adds "To Inventory" on the app. 7 The next day, a message asks if he would like to post a comment about the coin or his experience with the dealer. Taken together, the scenes from Justin's collector journey illustrate the emerging areas of personalized experiences we touch on above.

When he shows the coin to his friends, his app 8 reminds him of the SmartTrack DNA tag on it and offers him another free benefit for each friend who taps and buys a coin.

9 Every week, he gets a promotional message offering coins that he may be interested in acquiring. 10 While visiting with friends at a coin show, he sees a coin that he really likes but isn't ready to buy, so he taps the SmartTrack DNA tag and adds it to his "Want List".

Digital authentication The SmartTrack DNA tag stores a secure ID on the electronic device to provide an assurance of authenticity and provenance. Coins must be authenticated before any interactions take place, thereby providing an extra level of defense against counterfeiting and market diversions.

Coin World seeks to engage with customers via the app. Providing personalized content and experiences with seamless technology improves the relationship collectors have with an otherwise passive product, and it allows us to be more engaged with the type of additional experiences they may want.

110


Tracing the coin through the distribution network An owner can assure authenticity and provenance, as each coin's SmartTrack DNA tag can be assigned to a specific provider within the distribution network, such as grading companies, wholesalers or dealers; any deviation can be detected and flagged should it not "transfer" through normal channels. For a coin equipped with enhanced security features, notification or messages can be sent through the app to the coin's owner (this feature requires the app owner to have registered the coin as part of their inventory).

Collector engagement Emerging technologies are poised to personalize the consumer experience in real-time, and we are preparing to meet our customers with the information they are seeking. The SmartTrack DNA tag gives the coin a voice, so we can communicate directly with collectors and dealers, before, during and after the sale. We can offer useful information, special ser vices, loyalt y programs, access to exclusive online content and communities. A quick tap of the smar tphone star ts each dialog and allows us to provide new or updated information. It can deliver specifics that help a coin owner with additional features, provenance, informational videos, and alert them about new coin releases, and much more. Also, depending on what the collector decides to share with the SmartTrack DNA app, personal data, such as profiles, interests, and registration of coins, is available in case of theft and attempt at resale.

Brand protection This is where the coin collecting community can protect brand owners (mints) and others within the hobby by assisting efforts to eliminate counterfeits. The fact that SmartTrack DNA tags can be read by anyone with an NFC-enabled smartphone creates a new and exceptionally powerful way to protect brands. When anyone can verify authenticity with a simple tap of a phone, counterfeits are easier to identify and harder to pass off as genuine. Brand owners can enlist everyone they work with, including wholesaler s, dealer s and collector s, without investing dedicated equipment or special expertise. What's more, even people not directly related to the distribution network can help defend the brand, since everyday collectors can digitally authenticate products. The SmartTrack DNA platform traces information about each tag and checks for deviations, so any issues with authenticit y, tampering, or diversion can be dealt with immediately.

Enhance the collector experience Over the next several years, you are likely to see more and more consumer experiences integrate across retail, online and virtual environments. To illustrate this, look at the infographic "Scenes from future of Coin World 's on demand marketing" and follow the tech-enabled collector who purchase a coin.

How can I get the SmartTrack DNA tag? Coin World will be offering the SmartTrack DNA tags beginning in March. The SmartTrack DNA pricing is based upon the value of the coin. Tier 1 (coins valued up to $10,000) will be tagged for $10 per coin; Tier 2 (coins valued $10,000+) will cost $20. Expedited services will be available. As part of our 60th anniversary celebration, we will offer an introductory price of $10 per coin on all coins for the first 60,000 coins submitted. To receive this offer, a Coin World magazine subscription is required. For a Coin World subscription, please visit www.CoinWorld.com/contact-us/subscribe.html or call 800-253-4555.

Please note that, initially, we will provide the Smar tTrack DNA tag only on coins graded by Numismatic Guaranty Corp. and Professional Coin Grading Service. More details about the submission process will be communicated at a later date. A pre-sale SmartTrack DNA reservation program will be available beginning on February 1. For more details, please visit www. SmartTrackDNA.com to register.

Coin World will be attending the Florida United Numismatists show Jan. 9 and 10 in Orlando, Florida; Long Beach Expo on February 20-22 in Long Beach, California; as well as the American Numismatic Association National Money Show in Atlanta on February 27 through 29 to show a preview of the app to attendees and answers questions.

A :We take security to a new level with near-field communication (NFC) tags that suppor t encr yption standards tr u s te d b y n a ti o n al g o v e r nm e nt s to p r o te c t c l a s s i f i e d inf o r m a t i o n (including the Advanced Encryption Standard). When using cryptography, the NFC smartphone reader acts as a communication terminal to transfer secret information on the SmartTrack DNA tag to a secure ser ver where verification takes place. We monitor the SmartTrack DNA tag for data breaches and irregularities and will provide you with a notification if necessary. We do not provide your coin data or information to any 3rd parties.

Q :How do e s Smar tTr a ck DNA benefit the collector?

118

Q :What protec tion do I have from potential hackers?

A :The SmartTrack DNA tag can be read using an NFC-enabled smar tphone and tablet. The device has to be within close proximity, less than 2 inches, to read the encr y p te d d at a . D at a is p r ote c te d b y enhanc e d cr y pto gr aphy se curit y with multiple level features, like what is used in financial transactions with Apple Pay and Google Pay.

A :Our research shows that collectors are seeking a service that will digitally catalog their coins, provide smart recommendations based upon coins they are seeking, and provide the ability to upgrade their collections. They also want the option of access to a coin's history, with easier to access real-time pricing data, to always know the value of their collections.


Q :How is SmartTrack DNA different from the“PCGS - NFC”announcement?

A :Coin World's SmartTrack DNA provides digital authentication that safeguards against counterfeits, uses NFC encryption technology and traces the coin through the distribution net work to the collector. It also provides product information such as coin details, histor y and pricing dat a. Collector s c an manage their inventory and want lists and will receive real-time market pricing. Additionally, SmartTrack DNA can be added to any coin, so no re-holdering is necessary. The PCGS press release indicates only that their embedded chip will allow a user to "instantly receive the Cert Verification", versus their current process, which requires you to access their website.

Q :What are the advantages of adding SmartTrack DNA to my coins? A :It will make your coins "smarter" and more secure. Each tagged coin has its own DNA, in the form of a unique ID number securely embedded inside the tag. Tagged coins can be identified anytime, and can digitally verify that they're genuine, so it's easy to confirm what's legitimate. Secondly, traceability gives you assurance that the coin has a real "history" as it travels through the distribution net work of dealer and collectors. Finally, it gives your coin a voice, so you can learn more about it through the tools we have that provide an enhanced collector experience, offering helpful advice, useful information, special services, and access to exclusive online communities, even after your coin has been tagged.

Q :How do I get SmartTrack DNA on my coins? A :Collectors and dealers can send their coins to our submission center, w h er e w e w ill r e v ie w e ac h c o in's information, program and install its SmartTrack DNA tag, and return the coins to the submitter.

A :Yes. We are planning to offer this service at the larger coins shows later this year.

Q :Why do the coins have to be encased within a holder? A :We decided to initially launch the program with holdered, cer tified coins because our research indicates that collectors are ver y concerned about counterfeit coins. Holdered coins also represent the majority of coins that would benefit most from the information that we provide.

Q :Will I be able to get SmartTrack DNA tags at a show?

119


Q :Can I choose not to share my information with other SmartTrack DNA users? A :Yes. SmartTrack DNA app users will have the option to keep their information private by selecting the "private" feature in the settings menu. Please note that when a user profile is created, an alias is selected to provide anonymity. Other information, such as coins of interest and the collector's address, is optional. However, selecting "private" may prohibit some app functionality, such as connecting a user with authorized dealers that have coins on the anonymous user's want list.

Q :Do you have a program for dealers to get SmartTrack DNA on their inventory?

A :Yes. We will have an authorized dealer offering for commercial coin dealers to easily have their inventory tagged.

Q :What pricing data is available on the app?

A :Several pricing features will be available within the app. Pricing values from several leading companies from the numismatic industry along with auction results will be provided. Coin World has developed a proprietary pricing algorithm that provides real-time market values for your collection. Users will also be able to input the cost of their inventory items along with other associated expenses, such as grading or storage fees, to track their cost basis.

PRESS RELEASE:

Artist Yu Min was given the Lifetime Achievement Award by Krause Publication Coin of the Year Award Committee

Editor of World Coin News David C. Harper (L.) and Chinese Embassy Culture Department Secretary Dr. Li Gang

Shanghai Mint Co., Ltd. senior designer Yu Min is watching CCTV News live

A Lifetime Achievement Award in Coin Design was given to Yu Min of the Shanghai Mint Co., Ltd., Feb. 4 at the Coin of the Year Award ceremony at the World Money Fair in Berlin, Germany.

He began designing and engraving coins in 1980 and participated in the entire development process of gold and silver Pandas as a designer and engraver since the first gold panda coin was issued in 1982.

The trophy was accepted by Dr. Li Gang, Secretary of the Culture Department of Embassy of People’s Republic of China to the Federal Republic of Germany. Yu Min is the first Asian Designer to win the award, the previous three edition of the award went to Herbert Wähner of Austria, Maria Carmela Colaneri of Italy, and Heinz Hoyer and Sneschana Russewa-Hoyer of Germany. Giving the award was David C. Harper, editor of World Coin News, founding sponsor of the award. The award is also sponsored by the World Money Fair. The publisher of the Journal of East Asian Numismatics, Michael Chou, introduced Dr. Li. His publication is the third sponsor of the Coin of the Year Awards and it prepared a biography of Yu Min. Yu Min graduated from Shanghai Arts and Crafts School in August 1980 and entered the Shanghai Mint (now known as the Shanghai Mint Co., Ltd.) to design and to engrave coins in the design and pattern shop at the same year. From February to June 1996 he went to Russia and studied in the Sculpture Department of Repin Academy of Fine Arts. He was enrolled as a member of the China Sculpture Institute in July 2004.

His 1983 silver Panda won the Best Silver Coin award in the 1985 Coin of the Year competition. He has designed and engraved over 200 Modern Chinese coins including over 40 commemorative Panda coins, including the 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012 and 2013 gold and silver commemorative Panda coins, over the years. Mr. Yu Min may hold the world record for the number of coins designed/engraved by a artist for a modern mint. The 2009 Panda coin designed by Yu Min was named the Best Commemorative Coin by a German magazine. Among commemorative coins, he designed and engraved the portrait of Chairman Mao on the circulating coin to mark the 100th birthday of Mao Tse-tung. It was very difficult to engrave a raised image of the chairman to be struck on a very hard nickelclad steel coin. Yu Min accomplished this after repeated trials. In the selection process of the 2008 Beijing Olympic coins, Yu Min’s design was one of the finalists and his four joint engraving designs (the fencing, pentathlon, archery and soccer coins) were adopted by the head office of Bank of China.

TOP CHINESE COINS 2nd Edition 《中国近代机制币精品鉴赏》第二版 Price( 售价 ):US $100 Plus Postage( 不含邮费 )

In June 2010, Top Chinese Coins Vol. 1 was published by iAsure Group and the The Journal of East Asian Numismatics (JEAN). Top Chinese Coins Vol. 1 offers an in-depth summary of the final results from the Top Chinese Coins Survey, a landmark event held in winter 2009 to search for the 10 most valuable Chinese struck coins. Coins submitted for review were judged by their rarity, historical importance, artistic appeal, condition, market value and group identity. The deluxe bound book offered details on the Top Chinese Coins Survey as well as high-quality pictures, price trends, degrees of rarity and historical context of the 60 top Modern Chinese Coins.

Top Chinese Coins , Vol. 1 had a limited print run of 1000, leaving many numismatists and enthusiasts unable to purchase a copy of their own. In response to high demand, iAsure has made certain that the second volume which released in June 2011 will be available to a much wider audience. While Top Chinese Coins Vol. 1 included gold, silver and copper coins, the second volume highlights the great range of silver coins. It will also add summaries from auction sales that list pricing, degree of rarity, pedigree and grades.

The Journal of East Asian Numismatics Bilingual (English-Chinese) Digital Quarterly In 1994, The Journal of East Asian Numismatics (JEAN) was founded by Michael Chou, the CEO of Champion Auction and Bruce Smith, a noted numismatist. It is a professional numismatic academic journal whose mission is to educate collectors and researchers on the subjects of Chinese numismatics, culture and history. Bruce Smith, the chief editor of JEAN, was born in 1951 in St. Louis, MO. He received his BA in history from the University of Missouri St. Louis; and his MA in China studies from Harvard University. In 1974-1977, he worked for Krause Publications as Editorial Assistant on World Coin News and as cataloger for Standard Catalog of World Coins and Standard Catalog of World Paper Money. He was a full time coin dealer 1977-1987. In 1988-1989, he studied in China as a student of China Studies in Chengchow (Zhengzhou) University, Henan province. In 1991-1993, Mr. Smith was a graduate student at Harvard University. In 1994-1998, he was the editor of The Journal of East Asian Numismatics (JEAN). Bruce Smith has been a collector and researcher of Chinese coins for over 30 years. His published research in JEAN has added immensely to the body of knowledge for Chinese coins. The first issue of JEAN was released in July 1994, and the last issue (18th issue) in 1998. Most articles were written in English, the remainder in Chinese. The journal was distributed in over 20 countries, and remained a mainstay on many important library shelves, including the Smithsonian Institution, the British Museum, the Harvard Yenching Library, Harvard University, Yale University, Columbia University, Stanford University, Cornell University, the ANS (American Numismatic Society), and the ANA (American Numismatic Association). The journal enjoyed great popularity and many important articles were published in JEAN, including “Peking Coins of 1900” by James Sweeny, “More on the Hsu Shih-chang Medals with engraved names” and “The true story of China’s 1936 and 1937 Silver Dollars” by Bruce Smith, “The Apparent Relationship
