FOREWORD

Welcome to the 24th issue of the digital edition of The Journal of East Asian Numismatics.

written about by famous Chinese collector and father of Nelson Chang, Nai-chi Zhang.

In this issue, we feature an article on the engraved 1921 Hsu Shi-Chang pavillion medal, which commemorates the opening of the Peking Medical College funded by the Rockefeller foundation from our Champion research group. We also have a guest article from Joe Cribb, former curator of the coin cabinet of the British Museum, on the analysis of banknotes from Hong Kong Shanghai Bank. In the area of ancient coins, we have a guest article on a Chinese cash tree from American Reverend Harris by Rong Yang. Another guest article is by Jeff Starck of Coin World on the 1848 travels of the Chinese Junk Keying ship to England. NGC David Vagi continues his series on ancient coins with an article about Pergamene coinage under the Greeks.

We also have an article, the f irst in a series, about Chinese stamps, which includes the stamps from Howard F. Bowker’s collection and his article on the Chinese 1912 specimen stamps issues.

An article from our senior advisor Dr. Tseng Che-lu is on a Chinese Northern Song dynasty Jintang County 50tael sycee in the A.N.S. Collection, which was previously

We hope our readers will find something of interest in this issue.

different dies with different minting techniques for the Butterf ly Lovers side and several techniques used on the Romeo and Juliet side also.

First, NGC Asian Market Expansion Director Mateo Zhao explained the designing philosophy of the coin. It is based on two of the greatest love stories, one from the East, Butterf ly Lovers, and one from the West, Romeo and Juliet. This special coin celebrates love by using an everlasting rose that originated from a real Chinese rose.

Yu Min, the designer of the rose coin, also made a speech. He discussed the difficulty of the project of combing a real rose with the background design of the butterf ly lovers as the rose occupies over 80% of the obverse. The design of the Romeo and Juliet side was selected from multiple drafts. He were even successful in integrating the architectural balcony from the story.

Mateo also showed the special NGC holder of the Yu Min also showed the plaster mold of the Butterfly Lovers side.

The concept of the rose coin took four years to develop and it was one of the most challenging coins to produce. It is hoped that this coin will be a strong presence in the 2023 Coin of the Year competition,

The "Eternal Love & the Everlasting Rose Pure Silver Coin" This is the first coin to describe the two greatest love stories of east and west. The technique used on the rose pattern below Romeo and Juliet is worthy of mentioning. The rose is raised f lat and a prism allows for different colors to be seen from different angles. The rose coin features an everlasting rose with the two main characters in the story of Butterfly Lovers in high relief. They look away from each other with a Chinese plume tree separating them, and two butterflies flying together showing the final scene of the story. The plum flower, the plum tree, and background used a finish silver effect. For the butterflies and the window a blasting and mirror effect was used while the face and clothes of the characters employed a laser-blasting effect. The reverse shows Romeo and Juliet.

The 400oz (12.5KG) international standard gold ingot is a special product for the national reserve and is certified by the London Precious Metals Market Association. The gold ingot adopts an open-mold casting process to retain the solidified curved surface of gold, which is natural and beautiful. Its surface is marked with the trademark, fineness, and series number to achieve effective traceability of the gold ingot. The gold ingot is of excellent quality, and it is accurate in color and weight, fully recognized by domestic and foreign counterparts and the market.

Image 3 Year of the Ox New Year Lucky Gold Foil advertised at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala

The fashionable Year of Ox New Year Lucky Gold Foil uses 40-50 micron ultra-thin gold pressed by a double-sided oil pressing technique, as one product of the New Year Lucky Gold Foil series. You can even smell the fragrance of milk by rubbing your fingers on the playful gold foil. Laser color printing and magnetic ink processing make the gold foil present colorful and glittering visual effects. On the reverse of the New Year gold bar, the Chinese characters which translate “Grow with you” and “Thrive” are presented in different variations to bring more surprises and blessings; the hidden mark added by laser technique enhances the anti-counterfeiting ability of the product.

China Construction Bank’s “CCB Gold” (“建行金”), Industrial and Commercial Bank of China’s “Lotus Gold” (“如意金”), Bank of China’s “Auspicious Gold” (“吉祥金”), Agricultural Bank of China’s “Heirloom Treasures” (“傳世之寶”), Bank of Communications’ “Wode Gold” (“沃德金”) rely on CDCCGOLD manufacturing techniques. CDCCGOLD is equipped with various gold bar production processes such as casting, imitation casting and embossing, and it can combine different production processes and use different anti-counterfeiting technologies according to the needs, including microscopic text, laser prism, laser dark mark, and multiple latent shadows. All these increase the anti-counterfeiting characteristics and ornamental value of gold bars.

Another Masterpiece to Introduce Nationalist China’s Gold in Detail

The Gold Casting Missions of the Central Mint and the Gold Transported to Taiwan from Mainland China ◎ Zhou Bian〔Shanghai〕

The book has two parts. The first part introduces the gold casting missions of the Central Mint, and it includes four chapters that explain the gold casting missions of the Chongqing Mint, the Shanghai Mint, the Chengdu Mint, and the Taiwan Mint, respectively. The other part is about the gold transported to Taiwan, which includes how the gold was transported to Taiwan in batches and how it were used.

Mr. Stephen Tai ( 戴

In the first part, Mr. Tai details the background, casting projects, specifications, and weights of minting gold bullion by the Central Mint under the Nationalist Government in Chengdu, Shanghai, Chengdu, and Taiwan. He recounts the story of gold casting in the mints under the Central Mint through his abundant research of the relevant documents and archives. The second part of the book summarizes how the gold was transported to Taiwan from the end of 1948 in batches, and it makes a clear analysis and illustration of its usage. His research

Untold Story of Nationalist China’s Gold in the past few years. Recently, I read Mr. Tai’s new work, The Gold Casting Missions of the Central Mint and the Gold Transported to Taiwan from Mainland China (《 中央 造幣廠 鑄金 案 與大陸 運 臺黃金 》).

Stephen Tai has focused on the study of gold and bonds in recent years, accomplishing great results. In particular, his specialized study on Nationalist China’s gold has caught the attention of the numismatic community in both mainland China and Taiwan due to his in-depth study of primary materials and his views have been widely agreed upon. The book, The Gold Casting Missions of the Central Mint and the Gold Transported to Taiwan from Mainland China , will advance our knowledge of this period of history.

The author has discovered much valuable information through in-depth analysis and research on the first-hand historical documents and archives, which allows us and following researchers to have a better understanding of the history of the gold casting missions of the Central Mint and that gold which was transported to Taiwan from China.

Stephen Tai’ s The Gold Casting Missions of the Central Mint and the Gold Transported to Taiwan from Mainland China (ISBN: 978-986-87260-6-1) will be published by Boduoxi Studio ( 波 多 西 ) in November 6, 2021.

A Masterpiece for Exploring the Numismatic Culture of Western Xia

The Coins of the Western Xia ◎ Zhou Bian〔Shanghai〕

The Coins of Western Xia (first edition), published by World Publishing Xi’ an Co., Ltd. April 2021, is a book in the gu quan wen ku series (《 古泉 文 庫 》 ). 787 x1092mm. Priced at RMB 377. ISBN 978-7-5192-8286-8.

The Western Xia, a mysterious empire in the history of China, also known as the Tangut Empire, was a local power established by the Western Tangut at the beginning of the 11th century A.D. The Western Xia coinage occupies an important place in the history of Chinese numismatics because of its unique Western Xia characters, scarce quantity, and limited circulation area.

The Coin Collection of Western Xia (《西夏錢幣集》) was just

published at the Western Xia Numismatic Symposium held in Lanzhou, Gansu Province on September 25, 2021. It is a comprehensive and systematic study of Western Xia coinage, as a professional catalog of Western Xia coins. The book is divided into two chapters. The first part is an introduction of the Western Xia coinage, including the history of Western Xia, the minting and circulation of Western Xia coins, the overview of the historical research on the Western Xia, and other topics. Based on extensive historical materials and research, the book makes a systematic reflection on the history and types of Western Xia coinage, as well as the results of historical research. The second part is the catalog of Western Xia coins, introducing, explaining, and grading coins according to their dates. It also classifies more than a dozen Western Xia coins, such as fan guo bao qian ( 番國寶錢 ), fu sheng bao qian ( 福 聖寶錢 ), da an bao qian ( 大安寶錢 ), zhen guan yuan bao ( 貞 觀元寶 ), yuan de tong bao (zhong bao) ( 元德通寶(重寶)), da de tong bao ( 大德通寶 ), da xia guo bao ( 大夏國寶 ), tian sheng yuan bao ( 天 盛 元 寶 ), qian you yuan bao (bao qian) ( 乾佑元 寶(寶錢 )), tian qing yuan bao (bao qian) ( 天 慶 元 寶( 寶 錢 )), huang jian yuan bao ( 皇 建 元 寶 ), guang ding yuan bao ( 光 定 元 寶 ) and so on. The appendices include a chronographic comparison chart, geographical map, postscript, and a note on the dispute about whether da an tong bao ( 大安 通 寶 ) unearthed from Xilin, Inner Mongolia, is Western Xia

coinage. The book contains more than 500 Western Xia coins of various inscriptions, comprehensively displaying the varieties of all Western Xia coins discovered so far. It also makes an overview of rare coin varieties in detail. All these make it easy for readers and amateurs to distinguish and appreciate Western Xia coins. Mr. Tian Zhanjun ( 田 戰 軍 ), the writer of The Coins of the Western Xia , is the vice president of Gansu Collectors Association and the president of the Western Xia Culture Professional Committee. Gansu was the political, economic, and cultural center of Western Xia. Tian has spared no effort in collecting and preserving The Coins of the Western Xia as an industrialist and collector from Gansu. He completed the book by making a lot of preliminary preparatory work, collecting rare historical materials about the Western Xia and Western Xia coins, and arranging the archaeological findings and coins of the Western Xia excavated from the sites. The Coins of the Western Xia is the result of years of efforts, and it also carries the fruitful results of Tian Zhanjun's meticulous research. It is believed that the publication of the The Coins of the Western Xia is a breakthrough in the study of Western Xia coinage, and it will inspire more numismatists to study the history, culture, and coinage of the Western Xia.

The Qi Xiang Zhong Bao from Reverend Harris' collection and the Qi Xiang money trees at the American Numismatic Society Museum ◎ Rong Yang〔USA〕 The Qi Xiang Zhong Bao 10 cash of the Board of Works Mint (Qing Dynasty), shown in Figure 1, formerly belonged to Rev. Hendon Harris' collection. It was obtained by Dr. Che-lu Tseng and was later given to me. This coin had never been polished after casting and the remaining stub after cutting off from the casted money tree is still there. Interestingly, one of the Qi Xiang Zhong Bao money trees at the American Numismatic Society (ANS) Museum in New York City happens to miss one coin. After careful study and comparison, it can be concluded that the Qi

collectors in the early 1900's. See reference 3 . Sadly, Ramsden died at a young age. His collection of about 15000 Chinese coins were donated to the ANS Museum through Reilly, in two batches. The first batch of about 5000 coins, donated in 1917, were largely pre-Qin dynasty (221-207 BC) ancient coins. The second batch of about 10000 coins, were donated by the daughter of Reilly, in 1936. According to an analysis by Dr. Tseng, in the 19 years between the two donations, some of the Ramsden collection may had gotten into the collection of other collectors3. If the four Qi Xiang money trees were among the donations by Reilly's daughter, one possibility was that the ex. Harris Qi Xiang Zhong Bao may had separated from the tree during 1917-1936, and later got into the collection of Rev. Harris. Another, more likely scenario was that the single Qi Xiang coin was separated from the tree long time ago in China, and later obtained by Rev. Harris in Asia, then brought to the US. Figure 2 One of the two Qi Xiang Zhong Bao money trees at the ANS Museum. (Picture provided by ANS)

To figure out when the single Qi Xiang Zhong Bao got into the collection of Rev. Harris, I did online research about Rev. Harris. It turned out that the Harris family had three generations of Reverends doing missionary work in foreign countries. The First generation started in Mexico. The second generation, Rev. Hendon Harris, was a missionary in Kai Feng, China (in He Nan Province) from 1910 to 1942. The third generation, Rev. Hendon Harris Jr., was born in Kai Feng and grew up there. His Chinese speaking and writing skills were excellent. Harris Jr. conducted missionary work first in Taiwan, then in Hong Kong, during the 1950-1970 period. Harris Jr. died in 1981 in the US. He was famous for his ancient map collection. Based on the study of his ancient maps, he proposed the theory that the ancient Chinese had reached the American Continent before Columbus. One of the daughters of Harris Jr., Charlotte Harris Rees, wrote a book in 2016 about the missionary stories of the three

According to Charlotte, her father's coin collecting activities mainly occurred during the 1960's period. When I showed Charlotte that the coin containing envelope did not have Jr. behind Harris, she said that after the death of her grandfather, her father often removed the Jr. from his name, and that this was a fairly common practice here.

哈裏斯牧師舊藏祺祥重寶和美國集幣協會 博物館藏祺祥錢樹 ◎ 楊 嶸〔美國〕

圖1拓片所示祺祥重寶寶源當十,為韓登 · 哈裏斯牧師 (Rev. Hendon Harris)的舊藏。後輾轉經過曾澤祿醫生收藏,再 入我的收藏。此錢幣鑄出後沒有經過修整,從澆鑄錢樹切 下時存留的柄還在。有趣的是,在美國集幣協會 (American Numismatic Society, or ANS) 博物館有一件祺祥重寶寶源 當十錢樹正好缺掉一枚。經過仔細研究,可以確定圖1中這 枚哈裏斯牧師舊藏祺祥重寶,正是很久以前在美國集幣協會 博物館那件錢樹入館前掉落下來的那一枚。詳述如下。 美國集幣協會博物館共藏有四件祺祥錢樹,兩件寶源當十、

兩件寶源小平。在1987年第一期的《中國錢幣》上,壯泉先 生和美國集幣協會的霍斯頓夫人,曾介紹過美國集幣協會博 物館所藏的中國錢幣。文中描述了該館所藏的四件祺祥錢樹, 並在文中發表了一件小平、一件當十錢樹的拓片1。這兩個拓 片顯示錢樹是完整無缺的。著名錢幣學家馬定祥先生也曾在 訪問美國集幣協會博物館時看到過該館的祺祥錢樹。據他回 憶,這些錢樹曾經是民國早期著名北京錢幣商王希賢先生的 舊物。王希賢大約活躍於民國初期的1920-1940年代。他的 父親曾在清朝的北京鑄幣局工作,在清末鑄幣局關閉後,就 在北京成為錢幣商,並以研究買賣清朝錢出名。在宋路霞所 著的馬定祥回憶錄 « 錢幣大師馬定祥 » 一書中,馬先生描述 了他在王希賢家裏看到這些祺祥錢樹的情況2。 在美國集幣協會博物館的兩件祺祥重寶寶源當十錢樹中,一 件完整,一件掉落了一枚錢幣。 我曾寫信給美國集幣協會, 要到了這件缺掉一枚錢的錢樹照片,見圖2。這件錢樹左邊 最下面一枚錢幣掉落了。從澆鑄口的位置可以判斷,哈裏 斯舊藏的祺祥重寶應該是原本錢樹上的那枚早期掉落下來。 另外,用錢樹右側倒數第二枚放大圖和哈裏斯牧師舊藏的 祺祥照片對比可以確定,哈裏斯舊藏和錢樹上的錢幣版別 和形制完全一致,見圖3。所不同的是,錢樹上的所有錢幣 都有很重的褐色鏽層,而哈裏斯的舊藏只有較輕微的氧化, 這顯示兩者應該是很久前就分開了,並且被儲藏在非常不同

17th, Shouxi) Commemorate? The reference of the article comes from three articles on the medal written by Bruce Smith1, senior editor of JEAN. These articles were published in 1995, 1996 and 1997 respectively. Since 1982, when the first Hsu Shih-Chang Pavillion Medal engraved with the name MR. R. S. GREENE appeared, there came out successively DR. C. PACKARD (1994), DR. T. M. LI (1995) and DR. G.Y. CHAR (1997). Bruce would follow up the research status of the Hsu ShihChang Pavillion Medal on JEAN each time an example appeared. Now, the three articles written by Bruce have been summarized into one article named Hsu ShihChang Pavillion Medal , which was included in the book Howard Franklin Bowker: Numismatic Pioneer in 20142. According to the article, the Hsu Shih-Chang Pavillion Medal engraved with names was issued to commemorate the opening of Peking Union Medical College (PUMC) on October 9, 1921.

Mr. Chou told me that the 1921 Hsu Shih-Chang Pavillion Medal engraved with names is extremely rare. Because among the three varieties of Hsu Shih-Chang medals, the plain-edged coins without the inscriptions " 紀念章 " (commemorative medal) are the rarest. The other

and names. It seems that the names on them were later removed artificially, because in the 1980s, the Hsu ShihChang coin version with no name was more valuable than the one with a name. He also told me to pay attention to the coins with names inscribed on them, because these names should be meaningful on them, and gave me some information about these coins. In studying the real reasons for issuing the Hsu ShihChang Pavillion Medal, Bruce Smith is persistent. In 1935, Wong Shou-Chien ( 王 守 謙 ) wrote in the

Reference Book of Rare Chinese Coins that this medal was made to commemorate the birthday of President Hsu Shih-Chang. Later, Arthur Coole gave the same explanation in his 1936 book Coins in China's History, which is why his translation is related to birthdays. Chiang Chung-Chuan's ( 蔣仲川 ) Illustration of China's Gold, Silver and Nickel Coins in 1939, Kalgan Shih's Research on Coinage in Modern China in 1949, and Chang Huang's Catalogue of Chinas Silver Dollars and Silver Coins all think that this coin is to commemorate Hsu Shih-Changs election as president.

1921 Hsu Shih-Chang medal with inscriptions " 纪 念 章 " (commemorative medal)

However, there are problems with both explanations. First of all, Hsu Shih-Chang took office on October 10, 1918 (National Day), neither in September nor in 1921. Although he was elected in September, his inauguration deserves more celebration than his election. And why should the medal be issued three years later? For the second theory, Hsu Shih-Chang was born on October 23rd, 1855, so it is impossible to celebrate his birthday in September. If this medal really commemorates his

In the 1970s, there were NC collections and Goodman from America.

In a recent telephone conversation with Mr. Chou ChienFu, he told me that one of the 1921 Hsu Shih-Chang Pavillion Medal is with a doctor in Taiwan, and this doctor is also my friend. In 1988, I first met Mr. Chou in the coin shop of Mr. Chou in Fuchin Hotel, and the doctor was there at that time. The doctor also owns the famous collection of Chinese 50-cent coins in Lee Chin Ling, which were sold to Lee Chin Ling by J.S. Lee as early as 1980s. Lee Chin Ling also wrote a book about these coins, A Complete Collection of Dragon Half-Dollar Silver Coins of Chinese Empire" (1980). Later, through Mr. Chou, Lee Chin Ling sold almost every Chinese 50cent coin to the doctor, including the 50-cent coins from Hunan and Shaanxi in 1897.

In 1870, John D. Rockefeller Sr founded Standard Oil Company, monopolized 90% of the oil market in the United States in its heyday, and became the first billionaire in history and the richest man in the world.

School of Public Health, Harvard School of Public Health, Peking Union Medical College, eradicating hookworm and yellow fever in North America, sponsoring research on syphilis pathogen in Noguchi, sponsoring penicillin research in alexander fleming, spending huge sums of money to improve black education, and sponsoring the establishment of Chicago University and Rockefeller Medical Research Institute (now Rockefeller University).

After 1897, the old Rockefeller withdrew from the main management of Standard Oil Company and funded the establishment of Rockefeller Institute to support medical research. Since then, his life has gradually shifted from shopping malls to charity, and he wants to create a permanent charity.

Luo wanted to set up a comprehensive university like Chicago University in China, but due to various restrictions, he had to turn to medicine. Medicine is just the combination of science and education, and the transformation of society and thought. It is also urgently needed by the Chinese people. The location and architecture of Concord (see Appendix 2) is symbolic, which embodies the ambition of Rockefeller Foundation and Rockefeller Jr. himself. On the one hand, it respects the ancient Chinese culture, on the other hand, it needs to be transformed in the American way.

In May 1913, Rockefeller Foundation was founded by the old Rockefeller, which ushered in the peak of his charity. The first president was John D. Rockefeller Jr, who succeeded his father Rockefeller as chairman of the foundation in 1917. The foundation focuses on developing medicine, public health and agriculture. The foundation is the largest and most funded charity in Los Angeles with worldwide influence. Major contributions include: establishing Johns Hopkins

Peking Union Medical College, formerly known as "Concord Medical College", was jointly established by London Mission and American Presbyterian Church in 1906. Union means "union" in English and "Concord" in Chinese. After the Boxer Rebellion, Beijing Hospital was destroyed, and Concord Medical Hall was established on its former site.

In 1947, the $10 million grant received by Union Medical College was the last donation from the Lowe Foundation.

Medical schools founded on the model of "Johns Hopkins Model" began to sprout in China. In 1916, Charles Coolidge, an American architect, became the main architect of Union Medical College, and decided to design and build a campus and hospital complex building combining Chinese and Western. In the early construction stage of Peking Union Medical College, Rockefeller was the final decision maker, and Concord was a charity that he planned and spared no expense. In 1917, Rockefeller Jr. officially succeeded his father as the chairman of the Los Angeles Foundation, helped establish Peking Union Medical College, and opened a pre-medical course. The affiliated hospital was Peking Union Medical College Hospital, and the first principal was Franklin C. McLean. In October, 1919, the medical undergraduate course was started, and the academic system was eight years. On the afternoon of September 25, 1917, the foundation laying and commencement ceremony of Peking Union Medical College and its affiliated hospitals was held in the previous residence of Dodo, Prince Yu.

From September 15 to 22, 1921, the Union Medical College with a new atmosphere ushered in a grand opening ceremony. Guests from European, American and Asian universities, world-famous scientists, international health organizations and academic groups and representatives from various provinces in China attended the event. At the meeting, George E. Vancen (Vincent), chairman of the Los Angeles Foundation, announced that all buildings and equipment would be delivered to Union Medical College for use, and the ownership would belong to the Los Angeles Foundation. Chinese and American government officials delivered speeches to celebrate. Rockefeller II delivered a speech on behalf of Lowe's Foundation, read out his father's congratulatory message, and expressed his wish to hand over the school to the Chinese one day. In June 1928, the Ministry of National Education stipulated that the presidents of institutions of higher learning must be Chinese, and the majority of the school board must be Chinese directors.

年間又接連出現了刻有“DR. C. PACKARD” (1994 年)、

(1995 年)以及“DR. G.Y. CHAR” (1997 “DR. T. M. LI”

年)人名的徐世昌像紀念章。每出現一枚,史博祿都會在 《東亞泉志》上跟進徐世昌像紀念章的研究現狀。如今,史 博祿所寫的三篇文章已總結成一篇《徐世昌紀念章》,收錄

於 2014 年《霍華德·佛蘭克林·包克⸺ 錢幣學研究先驅者》 (Howard Franklin Bowker: Numismatic Pioneer )一書

中 2。據《徐世昌紀念章》記載,陰刻人名的徐世昌像紀念 章是為紀念 1921 年 10 月 9 日北京協和醫學院(PUMC)

的開業所發行。

徐世昌像紀念章共有三個版別。帶“紀念幣”字樣的紀念章

徐世昌像

在耿愛德書中被記錄為 Kann 676 (LM 864)⸺ 正面是

徐世昌總統的肖像(1918 年 10 月 10 日─ 1922 年 6 月 2

日任職中華民國大總統),無文字;背面描繪的是一座涼亭

背“仁壽同登” 紀念章 的“前世今生”

的入口處,並陽刻“仁壽同登”四字,上緣珠圈外陽刻“中 華民國十年九月”,下緣珠圈外陽刻“紀念幣”,左右各一 花星,邊齒為齒邊。這枚紀念章除銀質外也有金質的,耿愛 德目錄編號為 Kann 1570(LM 1093)。

另有底部無“紀念幣”字樣且無花星的紀念章,分為兩個版

別:齒邊(Kann 676a;LM 956);光邊(Kann 1570a;

LM 1125),也有金質的存在。

1936 年的著作《中國歷代五金錢幣》(Coins in China's

History )也給出了同樣的解釋,這也是為何他的譯文與生 日有關。蔣仲川 1939 年的《中國金銀鎳幣圖說》、施嘉幹 1949 年的《中國近代鑄幣匯考》,以及張璜的《中國銀圓 及銀兩幣目錄》中,則都認為此章是為了紀念徐世昌當選為 總統。

然而,這兩種解釋都有問題。 首先,徐世昌是在 1918 年 10 月 10 日(國慶)就職的,並

陰刻人名 “DR. C. PACKARD” 的徐世昌紀念章背面

非在 9 月,也不是在 1921 年。雖然他確實是在 9 月當選,

但就職理應比當選更值得慶賀。而且為什麼要在 3 年後才

發行紀念章?對於第二種理論,徐世昌是在 1855 年 10 月

23 日出生的,因此不可能在 9 月慶祝生日。如果這枚紀念

章真是為了紀念他的生日或者當選總統,又為什麼要省略掉

那一天?此外,在中國需要慶祝的最重要的生日一般是 60

壽辰或 70 壽辰。而 1921 年時,徐世昌應該是 63 歲或 66 歲。 因此上述解釋無法成立,有關徐世昌紀念章的發行意義仍疑 雲重重。

時間輾轉到了 20 世紀 80 年代和 90 年代,發行徐世昌紀念

章的真正緣由終於陸續出現線索。1982-1997 年間,共有

4 枚徐世昌像紀念章出現在拍賣會中,每一枚紀念章的反面

都被刻上了一個不同的人名。史博祿這才斷定徐世昌像紀念

Stephen Album 拍賣會目錄

章是為了紀念北京協和醫學院的開業而發行。

史博祿曾在 《徐世昌紀念章》一文中闡明:北京協和醫學

院的開幕典禮在 1921 年 9 月舉行,歷時一周有餘。除了官 方獻禮,還有醫學會議及期間的論文展示。醫療、外交、

政治領域的眾多人士包括總統徐世昌和小洛克菲勒(John

D.Rockefeller Jr.)都參加了這次典禮,小洛克菲勒是醫學

院的主要出資人。之後,在 9 月 17 日的下午,總統接見了

包括醫學院所有員工在內的 300 多位客人。帶“紀念幣” 字樣的章應該是作為紀念品贈送或售賣給參加典禮的公眾

1921 年( 民國十年) 徐世昌像“ 仁壽同登” 紀念章 帶“ 紀念幣” 字

的。章上的日期為年月形式,是因為整個慶典並非在一天內 完成,而是進行了好幾天。無“紀念幣” 的章應該是打算

用來為受贈的職員刻上名字的。金質紀念章應是用於贈送給 高級官員和重要客人,如洛克菲勒,也許還有總統徐世昌本 人。值得一提的是,後來洛克菲勒將那枚金質的徐世昌像紀 念章(曾出展)捐給洛克菲勒基金會作為資產 3。

一直以來,人們推測是中國政府訂購的這些紀念章,但也有 可能是協和醫院自己請別人製作的紀念品。邱文明認為與總 1921 年( 民國十年) 徐世昌像“ 仁壽同登” 紀念章 無“ 紀念幣” 字樣, 齒邊 , W&B Capital 藏品 J

本文梳理了我們對於徐世昌像紀念章的個人親身見聞,大部 分資訊參考自《東亞泉志》史博祿撰寫的三篇徐世昌像紀念 章文章,希望能夠幫助泉友們深入瞭解這一陰刻人名的徐世 昌像紀念章。該紀念章是中國首枚紀念醫院開業儀式的紀念 品,其集紀念幣與紀念章於一身的屬性實為難得。由於北京 協和醫學院(北京協和醫院的前身)是由美國洛克菲勒基金 於 1921 年資助建立,且洛克菲勒後來將獲贈的徐世昌像紀

念金章也作為資產贈與洛克菲勒基金會,對於早期中國的醫

療衛生事業做出了巨大貢獻。8 自 1916 年至 1947 年的 32

年間, 洛氏基金會用於協和的撥款總數達 4 465 萬美元, 是其在海外慈善捐助中數額最多、成果最卓著、影響最深遠 的一項。因此,徐世昌像紀念章不僅標誌着以北京協和醫學 院為代表的中國醫療衛生事業的開端,也是中美友誼的美好

附錄 1: 洛克菲勒基金會

1870 年 , 約翰·洛克菲勒 ( 老洛克菲勒 , John D. Rockefeller Sr.) 創立標準石油公司 , 在全盛時期壟斷了全美 90% 的石 油市場,成為歷史上第一位億萬富豪並全球首富 。

金會是洛氏規模最大 、資金最多 ,有世界影響力的慈善事業 。 主要貢獻包括:成立約翰霍普金斯公共衛生學院、哈佛大學 公共衛生學院、北京協和醫學院,根除北美鉤蟲和黃熱病 , 贊助野口英世的梅毒病原體研究, 贊助亞曆山大·弗萊明的 青黴素研究,並斥鉅資提升黑人教育,還資助建立了芝加哥 大學和洛克菲勒醫學研究所(現在的洛克菲勒大學 ) 。

1897 年後, 老洛克菲勒退出標準石油公司的主要管理, 出 資成立洛克菲勒研究所資助醫學研究。 此後他的生活重心 漸由商場轉向慈善事業 ,並且想要開創一項永久性的慈善事 業。

洛氏原想在中國辦一所像芝加哥大學那樣的綜合大學 ,但由 於種種限制,只能轉向醫學。醫學正好是科學與教育、改造 社會與思想的結合點,又是中國人民所迫切需要的。協和的 選址和建築( 參見附錄 2) 是具有象徵意義的, 它體現了洛 克菲勒基金會和小洛克菲勒本人的雄心,一方面是對中國古 老文化的尊重,另一方面要按美國的方式改造它 。

1913 年 5 月 , 老洛克菲勒創立了洛克菲勒基金會, 迎來 其慈善事業的頂峰 。 第一任會長就是小洛克菲勒 ( John D. Rockefeller Jr. ) , 1917 年接替其父老洛克菲勒成為基金會 董事長。基金會的重點是發展醫學 、公共衛生和農業。該基

附錄 2: 北京協和醫學院歷史沿革

北京協和醫學院的前身是 “ 協和醫學堂 ” , 為 1906 年倫敦 宣教會與美國長老會等五個教會聯合開辦 , 英文的 Union 即“ 聯合”之意 ,中文雅譯為“ 協和 ” 。義和團運動後,北 京醫院被毀,協和醫學堂就是在其舊址上建立起來的 。北京 協和醫學堂 1908 年正式開課 , 到 1914 年共培養了 38 名 畢業生。但此時學校的經費已捉襟見肘 、 難以為繼 。

1929 年 4 月 , 美國董事辭呈, 董事會改選, 劉瑞恒出任第 一任中國籍協和醫學院院長 。

1915 年, 洛克菲勒基金會以 20 萬美金收購協和醫學堂的 全部產業, 並用 12.5 萬美金買下協和醫學堂旁原豫王府的 全部地產,將“協和醫學堂 ”改名為“ 北京協和醫學院 ” , 英文名字為 PUMC( Peking Union Medical College )。以“ 約 翰 • 霍普金斯模式 ” 為範本創辦的醫學院開始在中國萌芽。 1916 年, 美國建築師查爾斯·柯立芝擔任協和醫學院的主要 建築師 ,決定設計建造一座中西合璧的校園和醫院群建築。

1917 年 北 京 協 和 醫學院及附屬醫院 奠基及開工典禮儀 式 ( 圖 片 來 源: w w w. p u m c . e d u . cn )

1947 年協和醫學院得到的 1 000 萬美元資助是洛氏基金會 的最後一次捐贈 。

在北京協和醫學院早期建設階段, 小洛克菲勒是最終決策 者, 協和是他一手籌畫、 不惜重金打造的一項慈善事業。 1917 年,小洛克菲勒正式接替父親成為洛氏基金會董事長, 幫助建立北京協和醫學院 ,開辦醫預科 ,附屬醫院為北京協 和醫院, 首任校長是 Franklin C.McLean 。 1919 年 10 月開 辦醫學本科 , 學制為八年制 。 1917 年 9 月 25 日下午 , 北 京協和醫學院及附屬醫院奠基及開工典禮儀式在前豫王府 舉行。

A CASE STUDY:

CLASSIFYING THE NOTES OF THE HONGKONG AND SHANGHAI BANK CORPORATION, 1865-1898 ◎ Joe Cribb〔UK〕

The origins of this paper go back to 1986 when I was asked to write an illustrated introduction to the money collection of The Hongkong and Shanghai Bank. The main part of the collection was the paper money issues of the Bank itself. From its foundation in 1865 down to the present day The Hongkong and Shanghai Bank has been the most important issuer of paper money in Hong Kong. In the past it also issued paper money at its branches in China, Japan and Malaya. The collection was large but, armed with a typed catalogue of the notes (supplied by the Bank's Archive Department) and a set of photocopies of the collection (provided by William Barrett), I set about trying to understand the history of the Bank's activities as an issuer of paper money sufficiently well to write about it.

did not provide a clear account of the process of note issue. They all recorded the notes seen by their authors in denomination and date order, but offered no solutions to the task awaiting me. It seemed to me that I had to go back to basics, so I added the material published by Mao, Smith, Pick and Lam to what I knew from the Bank's collection and started to examine the notes to see what they had to show. I was also able to add to my material photocopies of the notes in a substantial private collection (William Barrett's). In this way I assembled details of a large number of notes issued by the Bank, and it was from these notes themselves, together with some documentary evidence made available to me by the Bank and by the same collector, that I acquired the information I needed to reconstruct an overview of the production and issue of The Hongkong and Shanghai Bank's paper money. For the purposes of this article I am confining myself to the note issues from the Bank's Hong Kong Branch during the period 1865 to 1898, with the exception of the $1 notes issued from 1872, as they are worthy of a paper to themselves (which I hope to present on a future occasion).

My first response was to look for publications on the subject. I found little to help me: a brief essay on some unusual issues of the Bank by Judith Sear, and catalogue listings by Smith and Maltravers, Mao, Lam and in Pick's Standard Catalog of World Paper Money . Sear's article mentioned only two notes relevant to the topic of this paper, both exceptional pieces (one a Hong Kong note of 1865 issued at the Yokohama branch in 1866; the other a trial note made by a printer tendering for the Bank's business in 1888, both in the Bank's collection), which are useful evidence for the story of the Bank's note issue during the period in question, but not part of it. Mao's History consisted of lengthy but unhelpful descriptions of badly illustrated notes (a few not listed elsewhere), with occasional paragraphs of uninformative comment. The catalogue listings by Smith, Pick and Lam contained useful data, brief descriptions and a few illustrations, but

I have chosen to descr ibe the methods I used in classifying these notes in order to demonstrate the value of classification as a core tool in the study of paper money, which can be employed as a means of understanding the history of the notes themselves, the history of the issuing bank and its monetary activities, and the history of banknote production. The bare bones of my classification are those used in all catalogue listings,

the forty-nine notes were purchased by one collector and I have been able to examine most of them as part of this research. Five of the forty-nine notes were $1 denominations and are therefore not covered by this paper. The remaining forty-four notes represent 25% of the surviving notes recorded in the course of this research. If they had been split up through the sale the evidence they provide would no longer be available. The same collector's interest in the history of Barclay & Fry has also preserved a few other important pieces of information concerning the 1865-98 notes of the Hongkong Bank, which have been included in this study.

best exemplified by those of Pick and Lam, but the intention is to go deeper into the criteria for classification in order to produce not just a guide for collecting and valuing notes, but a framework which will elucidate the importance of the information contained in the notes, which are historical documents in their own right. Most paper money belongs to the realm of modern history, where surviving documentation tends to overshadow the importance of the primary evidence presented by contemporary objects. The reality is that the dispersal and destruction of so many printers' and banks' archives is turning the surviving pieces of paper money into the most direct and informative evidence of their own production and issue. The case study chosen is a good example of this. The Hongkong Bank's archives are still largely intact (damaged only by the circumstances of war and revolution), thanks to the Bank's commitment to preserving its own history, and much of its public activity as a note issuer is recorded in British Government official reports and archives because of its role as the chief provider of Hong Kong's official money. However, the archives of the printers, Barclay & Fry, have been completely disbanded or destroyed. Thanks to the activities of one collector, some of this lost material can be reassembled, but it is a tiny proportion of the whole archive which must have once existed.

The main results of my research are presented here in the form of tables outlining the chronological progression of note production in a series of phases. Because of the different design adopted for the $5 denomination after phase III, the varieties of this denomination are listed in phases distinct from the other denominations, even though their production was parallel to that of the higher denominations. The initial step in classification was to collect the details of as many notes as possible. Then my work on the 1987 book was completed, the material from the Barclay & Fry sample books was not yet available to me, so this study represents a further refinement of the classification presented in 1987. I have also been able to spend more time since then looking at the process of plate change by examining at first hand the examples in William Barrett's collection, including the Eric Powell sample book specimens, and this has added further detail to the classification. Within the limits set out above, 161

A typical example of this process of loss is the possible fate of the sample books of a certain Mr Eric Powell, who represented Barclay & Fry in the Far East. The contents of these books were offered for sale through Sotheby's London sale room on 1 October 1987. The books themselves were already taken apart and not offered for sale. The notes were divided up into lots, some apparently reflecting the grouping of the notes in the sample books, and sold to the highest bidders. The whole of the Hongkong Bank's note issue for Hong Kong from 1867 to 1899 was represented by forty-nine notes in the sample books. They were divided into twenty-five lots, with br ief descr iptions mentioning colours, denominations and dates; any manuscript annotations on the notes (mostly dates) were also mentioned. There was, however, only a single illustration of one side of just one of these notes. Fortunately, however, forty-seven of

the Manager or Chief Manager and Accountant or Chief Accountant, and the first date of issue. These were gradually replaced by the printed additions listed above, but the (Chief) Accountant's signature continued to be added by hand to all notes, and the Chief Manager's signature was still required on $500 notes throughout the period in question. The handwritten signatures appearing were normally not those of the named officials, but of subordinates signing on their behalf. The usefulness of the issued notes in classification is primarily based on the added information outlined above, but apart from the rarity of such notes there is another limitation to the role they can play. Because they have been in circulation, issued notes are often in deteriorated condition. The details added by hand might have faded and be illegible; the colours of the printer's ink can also fade, changing their intended colour; corners of the note can be torn off, and indeed in many cases were intentionally cut off on cancellation.

notes have been recorded during this study. In addition to these I have included three contemporary forgeries and four notes printed for Hong Kong which the Bank overprinted for issue at other branches. There are also up to seven more notes listed by Lam which cannot be included because of the lack of reported information or their probable misidentification.

The additions on the issued notes, particularly serial numbers and dates, are vital for understanding the sequence of issue by the Bank, but such a limited random sample can go only a small way towards creating a full picture. However, this limitation is compensated for in the case of the Hongkong Bank by the survival in the Bank's archives of the issue record of the Bank's Hong Kong notes. This record takes the form of Bank Note Issue Registers, which list by serial number the notes issued by the Bank. Each opening of a register presents two pages with 250 notes listed on each page. At the head of each page are the dates of signing (nominally the date of first issue) and the date of actual issue from the Hong Kong Office. The notes were signed in batches of 500 (i.e. one opening of the register), with the samples of the two signatories at the head of each page. As each note was withdrawn from circulation and paid off by the Bank, the date of cancellation was entered into the register opposite the serial number. The registers show that fewer than 1% of the issued notes were not returned to the Bank for cancellation. It is interesting to note that thirty-four of the known surviving issued notes had been returned to the Bank for cancellation (mostly preserved for an unknown reason by the Bank from two batches cancelled in 1904 and 1911), leaving only fifteen of the recorded issued notes, twelve $5 and three $10,

The limited number of the notes available highlights the nature of the problems involved in classifying them and studying the history of their production and issue. There were an estimated 1,000,000 notes of the range covered by this study issued in Hong Kong. I have been able to record only forty-nine issued notes (i.e. about 0.005%), and the random nature of their survival (there are no issued $500 notes recorded, for example) means that such a number can hardly be described as a representative sample. The other 112 notes are far more useful for classification, because, as printer's specimens and proofs, their survival has been more intentional and systematic. An almost complete record of the plate-making and printing activities of the printer can be reconstructed from the specimens and proofs, but they lack the important additions of information available from issued examples. The process of issue required the printer to add various elements to each note by letterpress. In separate processes the printer would add the serial number, and after 1884 the signature of the Bank's Chief Manager, and from 1888 to 1893 the date of first issue. From 1893 (1891 for $5 notes) the date was added at an earlier stage as part of the main printing plate and so also appeared on specimen notes. At the place of issue each note had handwritten additions made. Initially these were the signatures of

steel roller, then hardening the roller in order to transfer the original design onto a softened steel plate, which would be hardened before further use for printing or to retransfer the design to another roller in the same way. The design on the roller was raised above the surface and parts of it could therefore be erased to create a smooth level surface; once transferred back on to a flat plate this erased area could again be decorated with a new engraved design cut into its level surface, while the rest of the design remained unaltered.

surviving from circulation. The registers show exactly how many notes the Bank put into circulation, but there is no indication of the varieties of notes being issued. It is therefore necessary to return to the relatively small number of recorded surviving issued notes and specimens in order to try to match the issue registers with the activities of the printer on behalf of the Bank. The first step was to arrange the notes by denomination and then place them in sequence by date and serial number. The dates could appear in four different forms: added by hand to issued notes, printed on issued notes by letterpress, printed on the notes as part of the main printing plate, and written onto the edge of the note as a printer's annotation. Then each note was compared with the notes before and after it in the sequence in order to identify any observable changes in the details of the printing plate and the added elements.

This process was repeatedly used by the pr inters as prog ressive design changes were required by the Hongkong Bank. The nature of these changes provides evidence for the sequence of designs. General observation of the notes readily identifies major changes, such as in the colour of the inks used, in the name of the Bank, in the form of the overprint, and so on, but the examination of the minute details gives a clearer record of the printers' activities on the Bank's behalf. Once a general picture of these changes is obtained, then the specimen notes without dates or numbers and issued notes in damaged condition can easily be placed in the sequence.

This process of compar ison showed that there were regular changes of details, but these were not accompanied by complete change of the rest of the design. For example, the change from phase I to phase II involved only the elements relating to the Bank's name. For all recorded examples this just meant changing the inscription in the central panel from 'THE HONGKONG & SHANGHAI COMPANY, LIMITED' to 'THE HONGKONG & SHANGHAI CORPORATION'. Alter ing the inscr iption also disturbed the background pattern for the central panel and so a new background had to be engraved. Instead of the original wave pattern, a zigzag pattern made up of staggered repetitions of the denomination in words was used. Examination of the notes showed that the remaining details were unchanged. This change could not have been achieved by re-engraving the steel printing plates already in use, because the design to be changed was cut into the surface of the steel plate. The only way it could have been done was for a positive impression of the plate to be made and the central panel erased, then this altered impression used to impress a new printing plate which could then be engraved with the new version of the central panel. This could be done using a process developed earlier in the nineteenth century by the American inventor Jacob Perkins. This process involved transferring the design from an engraved hardened steel printing plate by pressure onto a softened

The tables presented here show the results achieved by this examination. The phases reflect easily observable major changes, as indicated above, and the varieties within each phase represent the intentional changes resulting from the production of new printing plates or new added features such as printed signatures (the nature of the changes are indicated in the table). New plates and changes in added features were normally made in response to requests by the Bank, but in some cases new slightly modified plates were made when the previous plate had worn out (for example, see the varieties of $5 plates for phase III). The modifications were apparently necessary to rework worn areas of the design which did not transfer effectively in the plate to roller to plate process described above. During the period covered by this study only one completely new plate had to be made, for the $5 denomination in 1893 (used from phase IXc). The tabulation of the material serves to allay one doubt which could be raised over the nature of the surviving printer's specimens from Eric Powell's sample books. It is a possibility that specimens could have been printed from

to attribute precisely all the undated specimens which have survived. This information also brings out further insights into note production and use. The recorded serial numbers and the Issue Registers help to give an overview of the rate of note issue, which can be compared with reports of the volume of notes in circulation contained in the official government records. The Hong Kong Government Annual Blue Books report annual figures for the total value of the Bank's notes in circulation, rising from about $800,000 by the end of 1865 to about $1,700,000 by the end of 1880, about $3,400,000 by the end of 1890 and about $7,500,000 at the end of 1899. In order to achieve this level of usage, production had to grow at an increasingly higher rate. By 1890 the Bank had issued about $10,000,000 worth of notes (i.e. about three times the amount in use), while by 1899 it had issued $56,000,000 (i.e. about seven-and-a-half times the amount in use. The rapid increase in note use during the last decade of the century was achieved by a huge increase in the issue of notes at a rate far in excess of the number staying in circulation. More detailed study of the Issue Registers would further refine the information derived in this way on the apparatus of the growth of money supply in late nineteenth-century Hong Kong.

stock plates all at one go to make up the sample books, but the exact coincidence of printing plates between hand-dated specimens and issued notes of the same date confirm that the specimens were printed at the time of issue and later collected for the sample books. This is also confirmed by the changing but consistent pattern of the use of the printer's perforated cancellation punch, normally applied once only until 1889 (twice on $500 specimens), four times from 1890, except three times in early 1893 and early 1897 and twice in 1898. The survival of the notes from the sample book has consolidated the results of the process of classification, but the Issue Registers and printer's archive material are necessary to fill some gaps. For example, the Issue Registers confirm the delivery of phase I $10 notes to the Bank and their use at Fuzhou in 1867, even though no examples have been seen. The dating of phase IIIa notes to 1878, although they are known only from specimens, is based on the record of paper use at Barclay & Fry during 1877-9, surviving in William Barrett's collection (this document incidentally reveals the reason for the single cut end of the notes of this period, because twice as many notes were printed as pieces of paper used, suggesting that each piece of paper was cut in two). Another document in the same collection gives the date at which Barclay & Fry took over the business of the previous printer, Ashby. This document is a letter from the printer to the Bank concerning a note thought to be a forgery, but proving to be a genuine note with a printing error. The letter refers to the printing of the note (phase IIa $50 note issued in 1870) in 1867, its delivery in 1867 as part of a batch of 5,000 notes, and the acquisition of Ashby in 1870. The note has survived with the letter, and is the second oldest surviving issued note of the Bank. The third oldest issued note survived for the same reason; it was in the private collection of the Solicitor General of Hong Kong, identified as a forgery because of its lack of the usual watermark. Its authenticity is now confirmed by comparison of the printing plate with surviving specimens, and the lack of watermark was admitted as an observed error by the paper supplier during the first decade of note production in the letter in William Barrett's collection.

The study of the serial numbers and dates of printing in relation to the process of plate change also yields interesting results. For example, the g rowth in the demand for the Bank's notes is reflected in an acceleration in the rate of plate replacement. Thus in the period 1865-75 only two front plates were used to print $5 notes, for 1876-85 four plates, and for 1886-95 seven plates. In the case of the $5 denomination it is also possible to compare the number of plates against the number of notes and show that each plate was used to print about 40,000-50,000 notes. Similar comparisons for the other denominations show 25,000 for $10, 13,750 for $25, 11,000 for $50, 5,000 for $100, 3,000 for $500. This shows that the replacement of plates for the $5 denomination could occasionally be caused by the printing plate being worn out, but that plate replacement for higher denominations was more dependent upon changes requested by the Bank, because production levels did not exhaust the potential of the printing plates. Research on the contemporary $1 notes supports this. The record of paper use at Barclay & Fry during 1877-9 mentioned above states that 300,000 $1 notes were

The printer was using six separate printing plates for $1 notes at the same time as printing plate Ic (phase IIIa) was being used to print the 50,000 $5 notes. Much is learnt from this exercise about the productivity of Barclay & Fry during this period.

in understanding the history of paper money. During the nineteenth century British printers and the commercial banks of the British world who were their customers played a key role in the establishment of paper money as a commonplace element of social intercourse world wide. The surviving examples of the notes they printed and issued merit close attention as important historical evidence for this key element in the development of modern money.

There are many more pieces of information to be extracted as a result of this study. It provides a framework for attributing newly discovered notes, and for continuing the process of exploring the history of banknote printing, production and use in the nineteenth century. My intention here was not to answer all the questions, but to show how much information can be gained from such a small sample, and how valuable archival material can be

anticipated in the instructions to the printers, who, according to a letter in Barrett's collection, sent proofs of phase IIa notes to the Bank from April 1866. An issued example shows that $5 notes were available for issue on I January 1867. The letter in Barrett's collection mentions the arrival of $50 notes later the same month. IIb: The Manager became Chief Manager in 1868, but phase IIb notes reflecting this change of title were not

available until 1872, when $1 notes showing this characteristic were issued. It is probable that the printer received the instruction to print these well before 1872, because the new printing plates for the $1 notes had the name of Ashby engraved on them while according to Barrett's letter Barclay & Fry had bought out Ashby in April 1870.

※A new design was introduced, with a new style of overprint and the Chinese name of the Bank changed from Waylee

(Huili = remittance) to Wayfoong (Huifeng = abundance of remittances). This name had been in use on the Bank's Shanghai notes since 1865. The new overprint was in the form of a cartouche containing the denomination, a feature already used on Shanghai notes since 1885, and Hiogo-Kobe and Singapore notes since 1886. Printed Chief Manager's signatures became standard from this issue (except on subsequent $500 notes). The varieties are distinguished by different signatures and dated by manuscript dates on specimens. Letterpress dates were introduced in phase Vb.

distinguished by changing printed signatures and dated by both issued notes and manuscript dates on specimens. The omission of the signature on phase VIIb was the consequence of a period of indecision by the Bank over who to appoint as its next Chief Manager (Thomas Jackson, a former Chief Manager, served as a stopgap during 1890).

※The innovations of phases VII and VIII were continued, but with printed dates added as part of the main design.

Varieties are distinguished and dated by their changing dates. Increasing volume of issue during the last decade of the century enabled the Bank to predict more accurately when the next issue was needed and the quantity of notes of each denomination needed for it, so the dating of notes at printing became more convenient. These phases represent the end of Barclay & Fry's work for the Bank's Hong Kong Office. A specimen $100 note for Hong Kong printed in 1888 by Bradbury & Wilkinson, using new plate-making technology, suggests that the Bank had already been considering terminating the contract for several years.

※第 II 階段 a 樣版( IIa ) :匯豐銀行從有限公司到銀行的名稱變化發生在 1866 年 12 月,但顯然印刷商在接受指令的過程中 已經提前預料到了這一點 。 巴雷特私人藏品中的一封信件表明 , 印刷商從 1866 年 4 月起就已經把 IIa 階段的紙幣憑證寄給 了銀行。 一個已發行紙幣樣例顯示, 1867 年 1 月 1 日的發行中包含 5 元紙幣。 巴雷特信中還提到了同月晚些時候, 50 元 紙幣交付。 第 II 階段 b 樣版( IIb ) : 1868 年, 銀行經理改稱為銀行總經理, 但是反映這一頭銜變化的第二階段紙幣直到 1872 年才 開始流通, 當時發行了具有這一特徵的 1 元紙幣。 印刷商很可能在 1872 年之前就收到了印刷這些紙幣的指示, 因為 1 元 紙幣的新印版上刻有阿什比字樣, 而根據巴雷特的信, 巴克利 & 弗萊公司在 1870 年 4 月就已經收購了阿什比 。 J

Because of the resistance to foreign enemies of Liao, Jin and Mongol, there was such a heavy "tax dollars". As a result, more than tens of millions of babies were killed by their parents, which was absolutely against human nature. When Su Dongpo was exiled in Hupeh, he saw that "ordinary family in Huangzhou gave birth to a child but was too poor to raise him, so they drown the newborn in a basin..." "Generally, peasant in Hunan and Hupeh only raises two sons and one daughter, if more children were born, they will be killed." This phenomenon was also common in Kiangsi. Zhu Xi's father, Zhu Song, discovered that: "(Kiangsi people) usually have two children, if more children were born, regardless of boy or girl, they will be thrown into a water basin and killed."Fukien was even more serious, people in Fukien only had three sons at most. The sons who were born later were drowned in a water basin as soon as they landed.

The Chinese Stamp Collection of Howard Franklin Bowker ◎ Champion〔Shanghai〕

The late famous numismatic collector and researcher Howard Franklin Bowker was also a philatelist, which is almost unknown, and he had made in-depth research in Chinese philately when he lived in China from the 1920s to the 1930s. Bowker had been attracted to philately from his youth. He began to work as a stamp dealer in 1910 when he was 21. On August 4, 1917, Bowker was reenlisted as a Yeoman first class. When he was stationed at Wuhan, China, in charge of the Naval godown in Hankow from May 7, 1923, to April 30, 1924, he came to be interested in Chinese stamps. From this time, Bowker began to collect and study Chinese stamps tirelessly, and he was active in dealing with and corresponding

民國時期的代價幣、一般多由商事行業自行發行,如百貨

麵值數字為主圖,不能作為預付郵資的憑證。包克先生的

一定範圍內使用與流通,代價券的流通有利於行業對內外

人收取欠付郵資時貼用的專用郵票。通常以“欠資”字樣和

商店、酒樓菜館、煙雜茶點、醬園酒行、娛樂業等,限於

藏品中的“鎮江工部欠銀”郵票即為此類(圖2)。早期,在

服務的需要。代價券分贈券、禮券、橋飯票、籌碼等內容。

“條約口岸”裏書信館主要為領事館、外國商人、傳教士服

在包克的藏品中也有許多這個時期的各種行業代價券(圖

6)。對了解民國那段歷史城市民間金融商業活動提供了實物

務,傳遞商業資訊,便於外國僑民的通信聯繫,加快政治、

經濟情報的交換。這在包克先生的集郵冊中也有反映(圖3、

依據。

圖4)。這種在中國對外通商口岸城市,由外國人辦的私人

性質的郵政稱為埠際郵政、埠際郵局(或商埠郵政和商埠

書信館)。埠際郵政在行政、章程、業務、經濟上各自為政, 資費不同,彼此無隸屬關係,只限在有協議的埠際間交換

郵件,發行的郵票稱埠際郵票。由於這種地方性的郵政事

業存在的時間不長,同時上述郵票印製得不多,因而時至

今日,許多“條約口岸”郵票已經被集郵者們視為珍品,它 的價格也往往比較高。

包克的郵票收藏方向和主題明確,對“條約口岸”郵票的 發行時間、所在地點、數量範圍、版次材質都有相當的研 究與瞭解。他在1926年設計並向國際藏家推出專門用於收

藏中國條約口岸郵票的集郵冊(圖5)。期間,他還和很多中

國和美國頂尖的郵票貿易商和藏家進行通訊與聯繫,並就

中國條約口岸郵票撰寫發表了諸多文章。取得的這些成就 來自於先生的不懈追求與努力。

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.

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.

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 19741977, 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 Pavillion Medals with engraved names” and “The true story of China’s 1936 and 1937 Silver Dollars” by Bruce Smith, “The Apparent
