FOREWORD

Welcome to the 21st issue of the journal. O u r jou r n a l t e a m w i l l a g a i n wo rk w it h le a d i n g numismatic author and editor Ron Guth on a book about the NC collection. The format will be similar to the 2015 Howard Franklin Bowker book, which was also edited by Ron Guth, Bruce Smith, and Michael Chou. Based on ten years of interviews with the owner of the NC collection, this book will give insight into one of the great collectors of Chinese numismatics and his family. We have and ar ticle on the Smithsonian National Numismatic Collection's report on the digitization of 5,810 Chinese banknotes, which includes 4,500 notes from the collection of Alexander Pogrebetsky, in 1969 directed by Howard F. Bowker to NNC curators Vladimir and Elvira Clain Stefanelli, is extremely interesting. Former Chinese Numismatic Museum curator Dai Zhiqiang's interesting article about Basic Concepts of Chinese Numismatics gives insight into this important topic. Dr. Tseng Che-lu continues his analysis of coins from the fabulous collection of Chinese cash coins from the legendary Nai-chi Chang Collection with an article on the Yuan Dynasty Tien Chi Tung Pao 3 Cash Coins .

Our editor Zhou Bian has an interesting article on ThreeHoled Spade which gives insight into these fabulous Chinese ancient spade rarities. NGC’s David Vagi continues his series on ancient coins in an article about the Four Aging Emperors . Spain's Salvador Ballesta's article about Spanish Eight Reals and Chinese Chopmarks gives insights into this interesting area of Chinese-Spanish numismatics. Our German correspondent Oliver Strah has submitted two reports about the World Money Fair panda. Champion Auction will host its 25th anniversary auction in Macau in May 2021 at the Macau Sofitel Ponte 16 hotel. We will feature coins from the NC collection similar to the NC collection auction we held in Macau in 2015. Many excellent Chinese rarities and finest known coins will be in this NC auction, such as a 1916 Yuan Shi Kai f lying dragon dollar with L. Giorgi signature, ex-Kann Collection, NGC MS64, extremely rare and finest known. Another highlights include 1912 Yuan Shi Kai large beard dollar in brass, ex-Kann Collection and possibly unique NGC UNC Details, 1911 Empire long whisker pattern dollar ex-Kann Collection and finest known.

Stephan Dai continues his analysis of Chinese silver ingots in his article Silver Square Troughs of Canton . There is an extremely interesting article by Cheng Bin on the background of the 1912 Sinking Unification Society medal.

A New Work by Stephen Tai

A Studough Syceesy on Square Tr: To Explore the History of Silver Ingots Zhou Bian〔Shanghai〕

A Study on Square Troughs: To Explore the History of Silver Ingots (《 方鏪考 —— 一 種 歷史 銀 錠的探索 》 ) by Stephen Tai ( 戴 學 文 ) was published by Boduoxi Studio ( 波 多 西 ) in September 2020 (ISBN 978-986-87260-5-5). Boduoxi Studio is located at 231 Fuxing 2nd Rd., Room 803, Zhubei City, Hsinchu County 302, Taiwan (ROC); email: hwta@ ms9.hinet.net .

A Study on Square Troughs: To Explore the History of Silver Ingots by Stephen Tai was newly published. It is another significant result in the study of Chinese silver ingots after A Study on Legendary Yunan Archway Ingot of the Late Qing Dynasty (1996) and The Illustrated Catalog of Yunnan Silver Ingots (1999). origin of silver troughs and explains their development. The second to seventh chapters describe throughs of Guangxi, Guangdong, Hunan, Fujian, Jiangxi, and Anhui in the Ming and Qing dynasties. It constructs a complete system based on the inscriptions on existing silver troughs and other information. The eighth chapter involves silver ingots of other provinces to be studied. The last chapter focuses on the identification and historical speculation of silver troughs. The book involves silver troughs to be studied and analyzes the identification of silver troughs in detail. Therefore, it is an excellent reference book for classification, identification, research, and collection of silver troughs, and it has taken the study of Chinese silver ingots to a new height.

The square trough was a kind of silver ingot widely used in southern China in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Through a long period of development and evolution, it underwent many changes in its shapes and standards, and there are only a few existing so far. All these make it challenging to study square troughs. However, Mr. Tai, with his rigorous and meticulous attitude, made a systematic classification of silver troughs innovatively. The book is coherent and cites abundant evidence. It explores the origin and development of silver troughs and put forward many new ideas, achieving many new results.

A Study on Square Troughs: To Explore the History of Silver Ingots contains nine chapters. The first chapter explores the

The Cultural Connotation of Coin Charms Coin Charms of the Han Dynasty - The 29th Book in the China Numismatic Book Series Zhou Bian〔Shanghai〕

Coin Charms of the Han Dynasty 《 ( 漢代壓勝錢》) by Gong Baiqing ( 公柏青 ) was published by Zhonghua Book Company ( 中 華書局 ) in September 2020 (ISBN978-7-101-14722-3). The 174-page book, 787mm x 1092mm, is about 180,000 characters in length. Price: 78 RMB in China. Coin charms of the Han dynasty are a carrier of Chinese history and culture. Inscriptions and patterns on these coins reflect the cultural tradition and world view of ancient Chinese people. The previous numismatic study mainly focused on their age, authentication, and classification, yet Coin Charms of the Han Dynasty analyzes their inner spirits from their historical and cultural connotations to better understand the politics, economy, thought, and culture of society. The book is of great academic significance as it points out a new way to study coin charms.

and reasons for their minting. These two chapters also make a classification for these coins. The second and fourth chapters reveal their cultural connotations to show the religious and inner spiritual world of ancient Chinese people, which shows the uniqueness of coin charms in the Han dynasty. The last chapter concludes the cultural connotation of coin charms of the Han dynasty. There is a preface by Dai Zhiqiang ( 戴志強 ) and references and a postscript at the end of the book. Numismatic culture is so extensive and profound that there is a vast space for us to explore, as an essential research field for the numismatic community to study. We should study shapes, inscriptions, patterns, and historical records of coins to integrate the social and historical environment into our research. It will also contribute to modern minting by inheriting and developing the historical and cultural connotations of ancient Chinese coins.

The book contains five parts. It makes an in-depth study on the inscriptions and patterns of coin charms of the Han dynasty, their auspicious patterns, the belief of Tiān ( 天 , the celestial aspect of the cosmos, often translated as "Heaven"), the worship of Hsi Wang Mu ( 西王母 , the queen of the immortals in charge of female genies), and the concept and connotation of ascending to heaven embodied in these coin charms. The first and third chapters analyze shapes, patterns, inscriptions,

Champion 2020 Macau Auction

Champion 2020 Macau Auction, held on November 29, was a great success. The auction sold 191 out of 209 lots for a 91.39% success rate, realizing USD 2,162,617.50 (including the buyer’s commission). The three highest prices at the auction were LOT 021 - 1897 Heaton Hunan 50 Cent Silver Pattern (USD 540,000), LOT 025 – 1911 (Year 3) Long Whisker Dragon Dollar Silver (USD 312,000) and LOT 026 - 1911 Year Standing Dragon 50 Cent Silver (USD 132,000). Again, the coins from the Howard Bowker Collection with original envelope toning set many new records and attracted many bidders to Macau. We had a record number of phone and Liveauctioneers bidders at this auction. The perfect weather and hospitality of the Macau Numismatic Society headed by David Chio ( 趙康池 ) and C.S. Wong ( 黃志成 ) helped make everyone welcome, and we think everyone enjoyed their stay in Macau.

This 50 cent coin was the top price realized at the 1991 Goodman Auction. Now four out of six known examples of the Heaton Mint Hunan 50 cent coins are owned by Taiwan natives, and all three graded by PCGS or NGC have been auctioned or sold by Champion Auction, with a PCGS SP63 coin from the same famous Chinese Family Collection auctioned by Champion in 2008 for USD 92,000 and an NGC SP66 coin sold privately to a Taiwan collector in 2014 who also purchased the dollar from Champion. This time, Champion Auction auctioned the second example from the Chinese Family Collection and the finest known example of PCGS SP66+ to a Taiwan collector.

Last Years of Yuan Dynasty “Tien Chi Tung Pao” Seal Script 3 Cash Che-lu Tseng〔USA〕

Lo Po-Chao wrote an article The Discovery of “Tien Chi Tung Pao” Seal Script which was published on Ch’uan Pi (28th issue) magazine. This article reported where NaiChi Chang obtained his two “Tien Chi Tung Pao” coins in details as follows:

has one and Nai-Chi Chang has two. Recently, there are 2 more unearthed “Tien Chi Tung Pao” Seal Script coins. There are 5 genuine “Tien Chi Tung Pao” Seal Script coins in total so far. The “Tien Chi Tung Pao” Seal Script no missing, 31.00cm in diameter, is the prototype coin of An Illustration Talk on Old Dynastic Coins by Ting Fu-pao. The “Tien Chi Tung Pao” Seal Script with missing piece is 32.00cm in diameter, which is bigger than “Tien Chi Tung Pao” Regular Script 2 Cash, almost big as 3 Cash (32.00cm34.00cm). So “in my opinion, the two ‘Tien Chi Tung Pao’ Seal Script coins are 3 Cash in denomination.”

1. “Tien Chi Tung Pao” Seal Script with missing piece: in the early Republic period, a child found one “Tien Chi Tung Pao” Seal Script with missing piece when he played around the riverbank at Huishui Trench in Chongqing. Liu Shuzhi met the child and bought the coin from him. Unfortunately, Liu cannot read the inscriptions on the coin, so he showed it to Mao Houqing. Mao told him that was “Tien Chi Tung Pao” and bought it for one Yuan. Then Mao probably sold it to Zhang Wenbin in Chengdu at the price of 35 Yuan. Later, Zhang sold it to Gong Xitai for 70 Yuan. Gong’s collection appeared in Shanghai soon. Nai-Chi Chang really loved it so he offered one thousand Yuan high price to buy it. 2. “Tien Chi Tung Pao” Seal Script no missing: Suzhou Chen Yangmin learned numismatics from Wang Yinjia who authored to a Chinese ancient coins book. Edward Kann had Wang’s book script and presented it to me [Lo Po-Chao]. There was a rubbing of “Tien Chi Tung Pao” Seal Script in the book, but it was said that the coin was brand new so some numismatists doubted if it was genuine. That is why the coin was sold to Zhou Zhongfen at a cheap price. Then this coin with other coins all sold to Nai-Chi Chang. Chang held it for a long time. But the rumor may be wrong. The coin is with rich and strong underlying toning. It is impossible for a fake coin to have such beautiful toning.

Some numismatists thought there were no genuine “Tien Chi Tung Pao” Seal Script coins. But there do be genuine “Tien Chi Tung Pao” Seal Script coins since Lo Po-Chao

THREE- HOLED SPADES A LEGEND IN THE PAST 200 YEARS Zhou Bian〔Shanghai〕 Two three-holed spades (sang kong bu 三孔布 ) graded by the Huaxia Coin Grading Company received prominence at the China Guardian 2019 Spring Auction. One half tael three-holed spade with xian fu ( 莧阝 ) inscriptions realized RMB 1,265,000, and the other half tael inscribed with mou ( 牟 ) realized RMB 1,058,000. Tracing back to the China Guardian 2010 Spring Auction, a one tael three-holed spade with wu yang ( 武 陽 ) set a record for an ancient Chinese coin after 40 bids at RMB 3,528,000. At the Chengxuan 2012 Autumn Auction, a large 17 tael three-holed spade inscribed with xia bi yang (下邲陽 ) set a new auction record for an ancient Chinese coin selling for RMB 3,680,000. This spade was minted during the Warring States Period. It originally belonged to Zhang Yanji ( 張延濟 ) during Daoguang's reign in the Qing dynasty, and was sold to an overseas collector.

collector Luo Boshao ( 羅 伯 昭 ), only had a damaged one. Regarding those recorded after the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, there were six pieces documented in the Rubbing of Domestic and Foreign Coins from Dai Baoting's Collection (《 戴 葆 庭 集 拓 中 外 錢 幣 珍 品 》), and the book published three of them for the first time. Wang Guichen ( 王 貴忱 ) published the Collection of Three-Holed Spades (《三孔 布彙編》) in 1984, and it contained rubbings of 57 three-holed spades. In terms of those collected in museums, few museums have three-holed spades except for some state-owned museums such as the Tianjin History Museum. A majority of known three-holed spades are in the hand of foreign collectors, most of whom are Japanese. The List of Coins in East Asia by Masahiro Okudaira records 14 pieces, 10 of which belong to the Bank of Tokyo Ltd. According to the data, there are no less than 27 three-holed spades in the hands of Japanese banks or collectors.

A three-holed spade features a round "handle," two round "shoulders," two round "feet," and a round "crotch," and each spade has "three holes" with one in its "head" and two in its "feet." Spades were first invented and used in the late Warring States Period. Researchers assumed that three-hole spades were issued by the Qin, Zhongshan, or Zhao states based on the currency system and place names inscribed on the spades. In recent years another opinion suggests that the Wei state issued these spades. However, it is more reasonable to assume that the Zhao state struck three-holed spades because they have the same round "shoulders" and round "feet" as spades of the Zhao state. Place names inscribed on these coins were also in the territory of Zhao.

Recently, some other three-hole spades have been unearthed and exhibited. A small 12 zhu ( 朱 ) th ree-holed spade with song zi ( 宋 子 ) was auctioned at the Yachang 2013 Auction; a 12 zhu three-holed spade with a feng shi ( 封 氏 ) inscription was exhibited at the exhibition with coins from Dai Baiting's students, and it was originally from the collection of Luo Zhenyu. Another three-holed spade inscribed with song

It has been two hundred years since three-holed spades were first mentioned in the Catalog Record: Ji Jin Suo Jian Lu (《吉 金 所 見 錄 》) by famous epigraphist Chu Shangling ( 初 尚 齡 ) in 1819, but few people have owned these spades in their collections. These coins were also documented in the Book of Coins (《泉說》), the Book of Coins-Continued (《續泉說》), and the Collection of Manuscripts Written in Guangu Pavilion (《觀 古 閣 叢 稿 》) by Bao Kang ( 鮑 康 ) and the Coin Collection of Liu E (《 鐵雲藏貨》) by Liu E ( 劉鶚 ) during the reign of the Daoguang Emperor in the Qing dynasty. Some of these spades were in the collection of Zhang Tingji ( 張 廷 濟 ) and Chen Jieqi ( 陳 介祺 ). Zhang Shuxun ( 張 叔 馴 ), Fang Yaoyu ( 方藥 雨 ), and Chen Rentao ( 陳仁濤 ), who were all famous numismatists in the Republican Period. They had some threeholed spades in their collections, while another well-known

The inscriptions on their reverses are mostly weights and denominations. The large spades are weighed with the unit "tael" and the small ones with "zhu" (12 zhu is equal to half a tael). The exchange rate of a large spade to that of a small spade is 2:1, which means the value of a large three-holed spade is equal to two small ones.

Most inscriptions on the obverse of spades are names of places, such as shang fu ( 上尃 ), xia fu (下尃 ), shang ai ( 上艾 ), an yang ( 安陽 ), an yin ( 安陰 ), nan hang tang ( 南行唐 ), shang bi jie yang ( 上匕卩陽 ), xia bi jie yang (下匕卩陽 ), ping tai ( 平

Due to their great rarity, three-holed spades are listed as one of the fifty most valuable ancient Chinese coins. Their shape is unique, their appearance is pleasing, and their inscriptions are varied. Also, their places and dates of minting have not been identified. All these inspire numismatists and collectors to make further explorations in this field.

Some Basic Concepts in Chinese Numismatics Dai Zhiqiang〔Beijing〕

What is the research purpose of numismatics? The research purpose of numismatics is not currency. In the Chinese language, the research purpose of numismatics is not currency. Currency is an economic term, and it refers to the medium for exchange. Currency serves as a measure of valuation and an approach of circulation, payment, and deposit. We can even use some currencies globally. Once we take a kind of currency out of circulation, it will lose the above functions and become "historical currency," the currency circulated in a particular time and region in the past. Numismatics is a cultural term in Chinese. It studies currencies in circulation as well as "historical currencies." It also covers the so-called "cultural derivatives of currencies," including products related to currencies and currency culture. Therefore, it is the general name of cu r rencies and their cult u ral derivatives, mainly made up of historical currencies that gave birth to currency culture and cultural derivatives.

Dai Zhiqiang

What is "Chinese numismatics"? "Chinese numismatics" does not refer to "monetary policy."

Primitive currencies were material objects that could be used as currencies and had their practical value. For instance, when shells were used as a currency, they still functioned as decorations and artifacts. It was said that shells could protect a woman giving birth, so women used to hold shells in their hands when giving birth. Therefore, every family could not live without shells. The monetary function and practical value of material objects are the origins of currencies and their cultural derivatives. Likewise, gold is a symbol of fortune as well as a kind of natural currency. Besides, it could be made into decorations, artifacts, and raw materials in industrial production.

Chinese numismatics (hereinafter referred to as numismatics) does not refer to monetar y discipline. Monetar y policy focuses on economic issues concerning the monetary theory, the financial system, and purchasing power. Numismatics does not concentrate on economic issues. It works to solve cultural problems related to money, identify the authentication of money, appraise the property, function, date, and place of money, and evaluate the value and rarity of money. The discipline also aims to find existing treasures by studying their varieties and reproduce the brilliant culture and history of China through textual research. Moreover, we can conclude previous experience to offer reference value for formulating monetary policy and designing, producing, and issuing money. Finally, we can enrich our cultural life, uplift our minds, and build a better spiritual environment by building up a collection, arranging related documents, displaying collections, and promoting numismatic culture.

Ancient coins issued as cur rencies were called "for mal coins" ( 正 用 品 ), and their cultural derivatives were called "informal coins" ( 非 正 用 品 ), or or "yansheng coins " ( 壓 勝 錢 , numismatic charms, originally written as 厭 勝 錢 ). According to archaeological results from excavations of Shang dynasty tombs, funerary objects buried in different places had different meanings. Shells in mouths, by heads, and in the hands of bodies were buried as currencies, and strung shells tied on necks and wrists of bodies were buried as decorations. In some small tombs, shells were buried under bodies together with dogs or people to suppress evil spirits. The last function might be the origin of the name "yansheng coin," as the

However, numismatics is closely related to monetary theory or monetary economics. Both disciplines involve monetary issues, but they research from different angles with different targets, so they use different study approaches and achieve different results. Therefore, they are two intersecting circles, which means each of them has its own research scopes, methods, purposes, and significances.

character yan was written as " 魘 " in ancient Chinese, which features a suppressed ghost.

FEATURES

In modern times, machine-struck coins came into being, and derivatives of such coins are called commemorative medals. In the Chinese language, ‘medal’ is a word borrowed from western numismatic culture. In the West, numismatic museums are museums of currencies and medals, and their vaults house both currencies and medals. In traditional Chinese culture, commemorative medals were developed from yansheng coins, and they are yansheng coins in modern times. Therefore, Chinese numismatics studies both coins and medals.

Chinese numismatics is an old discipline, and it used to study ancient coins. coin charms inscribed with lucky words

Chinese numismatics was known as the "discipline of ancient coins," which has a history of over one thousand years. According to available data, people started to collect and study ancient coins from the Southern and Northern dynasties, and they also compiled catalogs for ancient coins. The discipline used to focus on old Chinese coins, mainly metal coins in ancient times. As time went by, numismatic cult ure kept developing. Traditional Chinese cash coins evolved to gold, silver, and copper coins struck by machines from the end of the Qing dynasty to the Republic of China. In this circumstance, more and more people started their numismatic collection from the 1930s to the 1940s, and the range of collection also expanded to machine-struck coins and paper notes. Some researchers also began to carry out the study on machine-struck coins and paper notes. Therefore, some foresighted collectors who used to collect old coins put forward a new concept of "numismatics" to replace the "discipline of ancient coins" in line with the trend of the times.

Peng Weixin and his A Monetary History of China

Peng Xinwei ( 彭 信 威 ) was the first to put forward the term numismatics in China, and he used the term in his book A Monetary History of China (《 中 國 貨 幣 史 》). Peng set a specialized chapter about numismatics in the book. However, it was only a theoretical point put forward by a few scholars, and it did not arouse wide attention in the domestic numismatic and monetary community.

Unabridged Dictionary issued in 1999

In 1982, the China Numismatic Society was founded. Since then, the academic and professional community has gradually refined the idea of numismatics. The Unabridged Dictionary (《 辭 海 》) added the word "numismatics" in 1999. It writes, "numismatics was known as a discipline of ancient coins, as it used to study ancient coins. After founding the People's Republic of China, the study expanded to modern coins, paper notes, and other related cultural relics, so the name of the discipline was altered to numismatics. The discipline

After the birth of metal coins, coin charms' content was integrated with folk culture and kept expanding. Then came coin charms inscribed with lucky words, designed for games and awards, used in imperial palaces, etc. The materials, shapes, and minting techniques varied along with their evolutions. Since original yansheng coins are the first kind of informal coins, all ancient coins for informal use are called yansheng coins. Given they are closely related to folk culture, they are also named folk coins.

of ancient coins only studies coins, while numismatics explores developing rules, historical roles, values, and social significances of money based on money in kind and relative cultural relics."

production rather than high-end products. However, their techniques should be slightly better than the average technique level of the time, as their anti-counterfeit ability and security must be ensured, which is a requirement for safeguarding a country's dignity.

Yet, the new connotation of numismatics does not have a long history in China. As an emerging discipline, it requires our efforts to make greater academic progress and make more contributions to its theoretical construction. Then, the academic community and the public can genuinely accept its significance and social value.

Commemorative coins and banknotes refer to another concept. Both ordinary commemorative coins (and banknotes) and precious metal commemorative coins are legal currencies. However, they are produced by small mints or printing factories, so the mintage is much smaller than ordinary circulating ones, which creates objective conditions for meticulous work. What's more, the themes of commemorative coins (banknotes) are mainly historically and practically significant or full of cultural connotations, with high standards and specifications. Therefore, designs, topics, materials, and techniques of commemorative coins (banknotes) have higher and stricter requirements, and their techniques should also be better. For gold and silver commemorative coins, the preciousness of materials can highlight their quality. For instance, there are some gold and silver commemorative coins of large sizes, such as 5kg silver coins and 10kg gold coins with large diameters. There are also some commemorative coins of different shapes and specifications, such as rectangular and fan-shaped coins. All these provide an excellent platform for designers and engravers to perform. These coins and banknotes should be the primar y car rier for creating an advanced numismatic culture in modern times.

Numismatics should keep pace with time. Current numismatics is no longer the discipline of ancient coins, and now we have a fresh understanding of old coins. With the development of society, modern Chinese money and its derivatives cover a complete range, and it also vastly enriches the content of Chinese numismatics. I n ter ms of coi ns, t here a re ord i na r y ci rcu lat i ng coins, ordinar y commemorative coins, precious metal commemorative coins, and various derivatives (such as gold and silver bullion and production). There are also medals of different shapes and materials. As for paper notes, there are ordinary circulating notes and commemorative notes. Their cultural derivatives include anticounterfeiting bills, certificates, watermarked paper, handcarved printing products, and so on.

Commemorative medals, commemorative notes, and other products related to numismatic culture are not currencies, so their design and production are not controlled as strictly as currencies. The cultural derivatives of currencies have complex content. Some are manufactured by state-owned enterprises, and some by private companies. Some are highquality products that can lead to the new trend of modern numismatic culture, but some inferior products would be considered the dross of the times. As far as national mints and banknote printing plants are concerned, they must set a high standard and make derivative products in a relatively free and open environment. We should take numismatic derivatives as a carrier to explore experience for the development of techniques and numismatic culture. Designers can fully emancipate their minds in designing derivative products by showing all their ability and flexibility. They can also have a broader world to bring their techniques and styles into full play. The mintage of medals and commemorative notes are small, so they can be an experimental field for mints and banknote printing factories to test advanced techniques and packages with new raw materials. Hence, commemorative medals and other derivatives related to the numismatic culture can also play a pioneering role in exploring an advanced numismatic culture.

Regarding e-money, there are bank cards and credit cards with or without a monetary function. G ive n wh at is me nt ione d ab ove, t he st udy obje c t of numismatics can be grouped into two types. One is currency, and the other is the cultural derivatives of currency. All of them have different properties and usages. Ordinary circulating currencies include paper notes and metal coins. From the aspect of numismatic culture, ordinary circulating currencies reflect the comprehensive strength of modern society, involving its economic power, technology strength, and cultural quality, so it is a name card of the society. Their producing techniques should represent or be above the level of modern techniques of a country. As the ordinary circulating currencies should meet the need for circulation on the market and the public's economic and financial need, it must be economical. China is endowed with a vast territory and a large population, so it needs many currencies in circulation. Therefore, ordinary currencies should use mature production techniques, and they should be produced through large-scale

有各自研究的範圍、研究的方法、研究的目的和意義,它 們之間既無法分離,又不可能重疊。

二 什麼是“錢幣”?“錢幣”不等於“貨幣”。 在錢幣學裏, “錢幣”和“貨幣”是兩個不同領域的專用名 詞。眾所周知, “貨幣”是經濟領域的一個名詞,是指物物

交換的媒介。貨幣的職能是價值尺度、流通手段、支付手段、 儲藏手段和國際貨幣。貨幣一旦退出流通領域,便不再行

使貨幣的職能,不再是貨幣,只能說在歷史上某一個時期, 某一個地區曾經行使過貨幣的職能,因此可以稱之為“歷史 貨幣”。

“錢幣”則是文化領域的一個名詞,它既包括正在流通使

用的貨幣,也包括歷史上曾經使用過的貨幣,還包括因為

錢幣學不是貨幣學。貨幣學要研究的是貨幣理論、貨幣制

最初的貨幣——實物貨幣,是具有兩重性的,它們既行使

的視角,是與貨幣相關的文化問題,是要鑒定錢幣的真偽,

譬如海貝取得實物貨幣的地位以後,仍 然是一種裝飾品,

錢幣學則不注重有關經濟的理論問題,錢幣學投之於貨幣

實物貨幣的職能,同時也保留着它們自身帶來的實用價值。

鑒定錢幣的性質、用途,鑒定錢幣的鑄行時間和區域,鑒

泉學界,便有先知先覺者,順應時代的潮流,提出了“泉幣”

(即錢幣)的新概念。

在中國,最早提出“錢幣學”的名詞,是彭信威先生在 20

世紀50 年代出版的《中國貨幣史》。在他的書裏,設置了“錢

幣學”的專門章節。但是,這在當時只是少數人的認識, 只是個別學者提出的學術觀點,並沒有引起國內錢幣界和 貨幣史學界的廣泛關注。

1982年成立中國錢幣學會以後, “錢幣”和“錢幣學”才逐

步被學界、業界所接受,逐步被社會所認同。1999年版的

粵海關,位於廣東省境內,自成立起至滿清即將結束為止,將近兩百多年期間,按照慣 例以廣東地形銀——“方鏪”徵收關稅。但,罕有人知的是,粵海關稅銀存在着十三行

商鑄官鏪、洋商關紋與華商關紋三大類型,各自牽動著一口通商、鴉片戰爭等重大歷

史事件,歷次衝擊之下的關稅政策,不僅反映在粵海關的徵稅作法,也寫在關稅方鏪 的臉上。

康熙二十四年 (1685 年 ),粵海關成立,對於外洋販來貨物及出海貿易貨物,徵收關稅。

其下轄廣州、澳門、潮州、惠州、高州、瓊州、雷廉等 7個總口,及各總口統管的子口

共75個 ;其中又以廣州、澳門兩大總口最為重要。每一關口,各設稅官,徵收外商的船 鈔、規禮及其他有關稅款。

稅銀方鏪

粵海關成立的第二年,兩廣總督吳興、廣東巡撫李士楨和粵海關監督宜爾格圖等針對

國內商稅和海關貿易貨稅的劃分,進行商議,協調出住稅和行稅兩種貨物稅之徵收方

法。住稅,是指落地本省進行交易的內陸貨物稅,由當地稅課司徵收 ;該收入,因屬地

方財源,系按照本省錢糧形式鑄成稅銀。行稅,則是指外洋運來及出海貿易的貨物稅, 由粵海關徵收。為了經理住、行兩大稅餉,分別成立金絲行與洋貨行兩個商業組織 ; 後者,又稱“十三行”。

當時,清廷對於洋商存有戒心,嚴加管制,一則確保關稅收入,另則避免華洋接觸, 因此嚴格規定,外國商船到達廣州不得自行報關納稅或自由進行貿易,必須由行商代為

繳納進出口關稅、銷售進口貨物、採購出口商品並向官方傳達訊息等,同時由行商擔任 保證人。

這種封閉保守的政策,至乾隆二十二年 (1757年 )“一口通

商”之後,政策強度仍在持續加大中。一口通商政策下, 洋商不得再到寧波、廈門等港口貿易,出口內地產品、進

口海外貨物,都必須全部集中廣州。根據《粵海關志》之

記載,到達廣州港的外國商船,因此從最初的 7艘,不斷

增加,到了嘉慶初年,即19世紀初,每年已突破100 艘 ; 到了鴉片戰爭前夕,數量又翻倍。運來棉花、銅、錫、人

參、胡椒、毛皮與大量白銀,也運走中國的茶葉、生絲、 南京布匹等商品。

由於洋商貿易金額與涉及的關稅責任均極為龐大,並非

《粵海關志 》

個別行商財力所能承擔,因此行商破產,逋欠關稅難以追究的情事,時而發生。乾隆

二十五年 (1760 年 ),在九家行商的共同奔走奏請下,十三行總商成立,開始以“公行”

形式,管理相關事宜並連帶保證。其後,雖曾因行商之間意見分歧、推諉責任,導致公

行於乾隆三十五年 (1770 年 ) 宣佈解散,直至嘉慶十八年 (1813年 ) 才又恢復成立,但 此後總商、散商聯名具保,成為洋商貿易的常態1。

The Dawn of the Unification of China’s Border Areas

A Study on the 1912 Sinkiang Unification Society

Silver Medal Cheng Bin 〔Urumqi〕

Abstract

purchased this medal from famous Hong Kong coin dealer Zhang Huang ( 張 璜 ) in the 1970s. It seems to be the only 1912 Sinkiang Unification Society Silver Medal seen in the past three decades. I have focused on Sinkiang medals and coins for many years, so I am quite interested in this new variety.

The year 1912 saw the fall of the Qing

dynasty and the rise of the Republic of China. A silver medal was given birth in a short-lived society in a border province during this year, and its origin is still a mystery. I worked to explore the origin of the Sinkiang Unification Society medal based on limited clues. I found out the lineage of existing medals, searched ancient books and documents, and collected historical images. Besides this, I made field investigations and visited collectors to get oral accounts. Finally, I proved that the Sinkiang Unification Society medals are the badges of the society’s founders and members. These medals were used as certificates to participating in society meetings, and they were often holed in the top for hanging.

Key word

The 1911 Revolution in Sinkiang The year 1912 is of great significance in the history of modern China. The 1911 Revolution put an end to the feudal monarchy, which had ruled China for over 2,000 years, and it also ushered in a new stage - the Republic of China. However, the republic was not realized at one stroke, and society underwent several transitional forms at the very beginning. The Sinkiang Unification Society was a short-lived political group built in a border province against the founding of the ROC. Unfortunately, there are few records about this society in the historical documents. The silver medal, which aroused wide attention in the numismatic community, was directly related to the society. Therefore, this paper strives to corroborate the origin of the medal with related historical records.

Introduction

The political situation was highly volatile in 1911 and 1912. On October 10, 1911, the Wuchang Uprising broke out as the prelude to the 1911 Revolution. The trend was followed nationwide. On November 28, 1911, Liu Xianjun ( 劉 先 俊 ) rebelled in Dihua ( 迪化 , modern Urumqi), Sinkiang Province, which is the beginning of the 1911 Revolution in Sinkiang. However, the rebellion was a failure due to the considerable discrepancy in power. Then, another rebellion burst out in Ili ( 伊犁 ) on January 7, 1912, and revolutionists succeeded after fierce fighting. On the second day, the Xinyi Governor’s Office ( 新伊都督府 , the governor’s office of the new Ili City) was set up. On February 12, 1912, the last emperor of the Qing dynasty abdicated. On May 19, 1912, the Beijing government appointed Yang Zengxin ( 楊 增 新 ) to be the governor of Sinkiang. On May 26, 1912, the Sinkiang Unification Society was founded. Sinkiang Unification Society medals were struck against this background.

In March 2009, Zhang Jiabao ( 张家宝 ), the owner of a silver medal, released photos of his collection on Chinese Antique Net (image 4, no. 63809 on the net). The design of his coin is the same as the brass medal above. However, its inscriptions and patterns were rusted, and we could not see its edge. An anonymous appraiser estimated its value at RMB 1,000 on the forum, and he indicated that there was also known copper variety.

Feng bought several Sinkiang Unification Society brass medals years ago. I interviewed Xi Feng and knew that he had focused on medals for a long time. He once saw a brass medal at an antique market at the Sinkiang International Market in 2011. In 2018, he bought two brass medals from Russia and sold them to Chinese collectors. The diameter of the above medal is close to that of Sinkiang 10 cash copper red coin which were melted to strike copper wares.

In February 2015, collector Qin Quan ( 秦泉 ) posted the image of a brass medal with a hole on the online forum Ancient Coin Field (image 5) for consultation. From my perspective, its design is the same as the medals above, and its inscriptions and patterns have some corrosion. There are two holes for hanging at the edge above the inscription. Therefore, I presume that its original owner used to wear the medal after boring the hole.

Xi Feng also provided me with a paper, An Association of a Medal (《 一 枚 紀 念 章 的 聯 想 》) by Gao Bozhou ( 高 伯 舟 ), published in the second issue of Sinkiang Coins in 1998. 1 The copper medal from Gao Baozhou’s collection is 40 mm in diameter, and it also has a hole at the top for hanging. The paper makes a detailed description of the medal and includes a rubbing. It also makes a presumption about the background, as a rare specialized article about Sinkiang Unification Society medals. We can divide the above five silver, copper, and brass medals into two varieties according to their fineness. The inscriptions and designs of these medals are the same. Their inscriptions indicate that the Sinkiang Unification Society was founded on May 26 in the first year of the Republic of China ( 新 疆 統 一 維 持 會 大 中 華 民 國 元 年 五 月 廿 六 號 成 立 ). The inscriptions interlock with the outer beaded circle and the Chinese expression of the inscriptions was informal. Though the pattern of Champion Auction's silver medal is similar to other medals, the details of the lion are different from other medals. The lion on the silver medal auctioned by Champion Auction is more elegant and magnificent, and its hair is clear and vivid. Therefore, we may identify it as a "choice medal." In comparison, the lions on the other three medals are obscure, showing a cuter character. Also, their engraving style is similar to the silver and copper coins struck by the Dihua Mint. So, we may call them "common medals."

Besides, lions, colorful f lags, and the Earth on Sinkiang Unification Society medals were also used commonly on matches, notes, and porcelain pillows at that time.

Historical Records about the Sinkiang Unification Society

In December 2018, medal collector Xi Feng ( 兮 風 ) sold a grade 5.5 brass medal (image 6) on 7788 Collection Net for RMB 2,500. The medal is seriously abrased, but the design of the lion is relatively clear. It also has a hole at the top, with a mark at the outer edge. The side with lion and dual-flag design has some scratches. Xi Feng named the medal design as a “picture of a lion, the Earth and colorful flags.” According to the scale by the image, its diameter is 39 mm.

There are few records about the Sinkiang Unification Society. We can refer to the entry "Hu Yanwu" ( 胡 炎 午 ) in the List of the Classification of Rebelling People and Soldiers in Dihua (《 迪 化 民 軍 起 義 分 類 一 覽 表 》) compiled by the Sinkiang Investigation Society and signed by Yang Zengxin 2. The entry records the information about Hu Yanwu, one of the Sinkiang Unification Society's founders. "Hu Yanwu, 37 years old, also known as Shaoan ( 少庵 ), was a native of Xiangtan,

the 33rd year of Guangxu’s reign, Hu Qingyuan, also known as Chujiang, was 64 years old, and he was the head of Luopu County. On the ninth of the eleventh lunar month of 1911, Hu sponsored 2,000 taels for the civil army. He was generous and forthright. When Liu Xianjun rebelled, he and his nephew Hu Yanwu did their best to support him. As the rumors flew, Yuan Dahua strived to search for a trace of Liu Xianjun, and Liu almost had no place to hide. At this time, Hu should have entertained Yuan at his home. After that, Hu sponsored 2,000 taels for military rations to support the rebellion. Despite the failure of the rebellion, we can still see his passion for supporting the civil army and building a republic.”

Hunan Province, and he lived at Hetuwan, Huashi District, graduated from the Hunan Normal School. Hu once planned to rebel with Liu Xianjun. After Liu Xianjun's rebellion, Yuan Dahua ( 袁 大 化 ) wanted to get some information about the rebellion from Hu Yanwu. Hu entertained Yuan at home. He also suggested his uncle Hu Qingyuan ( 胡 清 源 ) sponsor the rebellion. When the civil army was organized, Hu assumed the position of staff officer and commander in chief. Afterward, he denounced Yuan Dahua, praised the martyrs, and inspired his comrades to sponsor the civil army. At the time of the Republic of China's founding, Yuan Dahua escaped, and the conf lict between the army and the people broke out in the provincial capital. Hu and other comrades launched the Unification Society to maintain unity and safeguard the border areas. He died of tuberculosis a few days later."

All these indicate that the Sinkiang Unification Society's founders were closely related to the revolutionists of the rebellion in Dihua during the 1911 Revolution. The Unification Society was designed to get support from the people and safeguard the border areas.

According to the entry about Hu Qingyuan in the List of the Classification of Rebelling People and Solders in Dihua , “In

Besides, soldiers' expenditures are large, and there are some conflicts with other countries in the south. Therefore, we have no military rations left. Sinkiang is a remote province facing border areas. Now, we have no silver dollars in reserve. Consequently, we even fail to pay wages to officers, and we can only use notes. Our finances are in crisis, and we are losing our credits. We can hardly support ourselves. The morale of the troops is falling. Against this situation, we can barely maintain the stability of Sinkiang. As we are adjacent to Mongolia, the whole country would be influenced if we are

There is more research about Peng Yiyuan. Peng was famous in the newspaper industry in modern times, and he launched

As the Public Telegraph writes, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the provisional government approved to found the society as a political group. The Chronicle of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Provisional Government of the Republic of China 4 (《 民國初年臨時政府內務部大事記略》) collected in the First History Archive of China does record the approvals for 81 social groups of 4 catalogs by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the provisional government, with the Sinkiang Unification Society included. The Shanghai News published the Record of the Rebellion in Dihua (《 迪 化 兵 變 補 紀 》)5 on August 4, 1912. “On the midnight of June 4 (the 19th of the 4th lunar month), in the provincial capital Dihua, Xinjiang, the army outside Dihua City moved from the outer city to the Old South Gate and the New South Gate. Fortunately, the gates were closed, and the army failed to get into the city. The army was stopped after the negotiation by an officer. The next day, Governor Yang investigated the cause of the incident, and he found out that it was the army that had just come back after fighting enemies. It charged Yuan Dahua of making a fool of the army, as they fought against Yili and killed more than 1 000 enemy soldiers, but they got no pension. But these soldiers were finally beaten, and more than 100 soldiers fled in the morning. The Sinkiang Unification Society and the Chamber of Commerce feel the discontentment of the army, so we assumed that it would inevitably lead to the destruction of the government in the future. Therefore, we wrote to tell soldiers that they had made great and painstaking efforts so that we would reward them. In addition, even those who protected the people in the province should also be treated well. We want to prepare some silver taels to reward them later. The total cost of thousands of silver taels would be borne by the Sinkiang Unification Society and the Chamber of Commerce.” Both the Sinkiang Unification Society and the Chamber of Commerce were involved in this affair, which indicates that the Unification Society had played its role as a representative of Dihua, and the actual leader of the society was Yang Zengxin, the governor of Sinkiang. The 1911 Revolution in Sinkiang (《 辛 亥 革 命 在 新 疆 》) by historian Lu Yiran ( 呂一燃 ) also testifies to the content above. “The Sinkiang Unification Society was a political group. Peng Yizhong ( 彭翼仲 ), the president of the society, was the chief editor of a newspaper in China. He was sent to Sinkiang by the Qing government for his ‘improper speech.’ Peng plotted with Liu Xianjun to follow the leaders of the rebellion after the Wuchang Rebellion.”6

Sinkiang Unification Society Medals are badges of society members

the Enlightenment Pictorial (《 啟蒙畫報》) in 1902, the Beijing Daily (《 京話日報》) and the Beijing Newspaper (《北京報》) in 1904. In 1906, he revealed the scandal that the Qing dynasty did in setting up a constitutional government, so he was sent to Dihua, Xinjiang in 1907. In 1910, George Ernest Morrison of the Times of England went to Sinkiang and met Peng Yizhong7 (image 8). In March 1913, Peng came back to Beijing and began republishing the Beijing Daily in August.

How did Chen Gan learn from public channels that Peng Yizhong was the president of the Sinkiang Unification Society? I found a piece of news which is the most important and most related to the medal in the Shanghai News of August 6, 1912. That is, the sixth page of the Record of the Meeting of the Sinkiang Unification Society 8 (Image 9,《新疆維持統一會大 會紀事》) of the Shanghai News on August 6, 1912.

According to those who researched the life of Peng Yizhong, there are few records about what Peng experienced when he was in Sinkiang. Peng is the only known leader of the Sinkiang Unification Society. This information comes from another telegraph sent by Peng’s student Chen Gan ( 陳 幹 ) from Xuzhou on August 22, 1912. It writes, “To the president of Sinkiang Unification Society: we have not connected for eight years, I think of you from time to time. I suggest you stay in the border areas rather than coming back to the central government. From Chen Gan, commander of the 39th army brigade.”

The news accounts for the first meeting of the Sinkiang Unification Society held on May 26, 1912, and the date on the medal is the date of the founding of the society. President Peng Yizhong delivered a speech at the meeting first. Then Sinkiang Governor Yang Zengxin made a speech to explain society's principle and indicated that all members would be treated equally no matter where they came from. There is an account related to the medal, “some 1,000 members will attend the meeting, and they will only be admitted by ticket.” “There is an office set for the Unification Society at the capital of Sinkiang. Previously issued tickets should be exchanged for badges. If a member has not attended meetings three times, the Unification Society will withdraw his badge and remove him from the society. If a member cannot attend meetings due to personal affairs, he must ask for leave at the office in advance.”

Chen hadn't connected Peng for eight years. However, he still knew that Peng was the president of the Sinkiang Unification Society, which indicates that the society did have some impact in China. However, Peng didn't follow the advice of Chen. He arrived in Beijing on April 22, 1913, and began to republish the Beijing Daily in August. We can presume that he might have participated in society's activities for half a year.

coins with a dragon pattern have both Chinese characters and old Uighur characters. It would be better if the coins could be deeper struck. Anyway, these silver dollars are much better than those circulating in Sinkiang. It is said that the mint can produce 1,000 taels of coins in a day. These coins are being struck to pay for soldiers from now on, and then will gradually replace the current notes.…… It is said that the ammunition factory can provide work for three people, and the mint may be the same. A few months ago, the mint had recruited a group of new workers from eastern China. In addition, the government has attached great importance to arms and mints for some time. It is believed that both the ammunition factory and the mint will be put into production soon."

Therefore, so-call “medals” were issued as badges of society founders and members, and they were the certificate allowing him to attend the meeting. The society also set up rules regarding withdrawing badges and asking for leave. Therefore, some medals have a hole at the top for hanging and keeping. Given “some 1,000 members will attend the meeting”, the mintage of medals should be around 1,000. Medals of different materials might be issued to founders and members of different levels, so the mintage of silver medals was less than that of brass/copper medals.

The Dihua Mint The Sinkiang Unification Society was located in Dihua, Sinkiang. The mint that struck coins and medals circulating in Dihua was sited at the Sinkiang Machinery Bureau in Shumago. Its name should be the Dihua Mint as inscriptions on the Sinkiang silver dollars indicate. The Dihua Mint was built at the end of the Qing dynasty, and was attached to the Sinkiang Machinery Bureau. As it was moved to Shumago later, it was also commonly known as the Shumago Mint. The mint used water-powered minting machines. The Records and Maps of Sinkiang: Records of Food and Goods (《新疆圖志 · 食貨志》)9 published in the winter of 1911 includes information about its foundation. It recorded the situation of the mint when it was just set up in 1907 and 1908. “On the fifth lunar month of 1907, the commissioner Wang Shuzhan ( 王 樹 枬 ) applied to set up a machinery bureau to mint silver dollars at Shumago. On the fourth of the sixth lunar month, an official seal was issued to the mint, and the mint started operation on the second of the seventh lunar month. The mint struck coins in four denominations, including five mace, four mace, two mace, and one mace. Every 100 taels allowed for seven maces of loss. The mint could strike 20,000 taels per month. Since it was formally put into operation in the sixth lunar month of 1907 to the 7th lunar month of 1908, it minted 320,000 taels except for the four months of suspension in 1908.”

Image 10 Shumago Mint and its workers (Source: Page 265 of Diary Performed during My Trip to Central Asia and China by Mannerheim) There are few records about the change of the Dihua Mint around the 1911 Revolution. Researchers think that the mint only struck a few silver ration dollars in the early Republic of China when there was no military appropriation from the central government. The above Public Telegraph of the Sinkiang Unification Society can testify as to the situation. Numismatic researchers mainly focus on the change of Sinkiang coins from their patterns. For instance, the design on silver ration dollars changed from dragon to dual flags and a lion, and the inscriptions changed from the reign title of emperors to the Republic of China. All these indicate a new atmosphere of the society.

We can know about the Shumago Mint from the description by Finnish explorer Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim. He visited the mint when he was in Dihua in 1907 and took some photos, which are quite rare (image 10). In his Diary Performed during My Trip to Central Asia and China 10, he writes, "August 9, Dihua. Today, I went to Prince Ziyi's ( 載漪 ) villa. His villa in Shumago, five Russian miles northeast of the city.…… We took a walk along the river to take some pictures. We also visited the nearby ammunition factory and mint.…… 5-6 bullet machines were standing by a long wall in the ammunition factory. Only striking machines worked at the mint. The mint strikes silver coins, which are the same as those circulating in eastern China, including one tael, half tael, 1/5 tael, and 1/10 tael. These

"it was restruck from a 1912 One-Tael Sinkiang Dual-f lag Silver Coin". Champion's WeChat official account also released a specialized article attached with the photo of a 1912 One-Tael Sinkiang Dual-flag Silver Coin from the NC collection (Lot 206 in the Champion 2019 Macau Auction).

June 17, 1912, the Sinkiang Unification Society released the Public Telegraph.

However, I did not see any trace of restriking on the above five medals. Logically, medals have a higher requirement for appearance, so they tend to use new blanks and dies. Even those restruck medals were restruck based on previous silver coins that were no longer produced than one-tael dual-f lag silver coins that were newly put into circulation. According to some records, dragon dollars and Yuan Shikai dollars were still used in Sinkiang in the 1930s and 1940s. Given the Sinkiang Unification Society focused on orders and pursued an ideal situation, the society would not make medals by restriking.

On July 1, 1912, the society participated in the Celebration Party for the Dihua becoming a republic.

The Weight of 7 mace and 2 candareen coins According to the Records and Maps of Sinkiang , the weights of provincial coins were 7 mace and 2 candareen, 3 mace and 6 candareen, 1 mace and 4 candareen, and 7 candareens, which followed the western coinage system. In the past, Sinkiang silver coins were initially known as tiangang [ 天 罡 ], and copper coins puer [ 普 爾 ]. The weights of tiangang coins inlcuded 5 mace, 3 mace, 2 mace or 1 mace. Though they were all silver coins in Sinkiang, they did not use the same weighing system as other provinces.

Both one-tael dual-flag coins and Sinkiang Unification Society medals were minted in Dihua in 1912, but their designs were different. Stripes on the flags of Sinkiang Unification Society medals are horizontal, which is the same style as the f lag pattern used across the nation. However, stripes on the flags of one-tael coins are vertical, and they also used plants to decorate flags. One-tael coins' flag pattern is different because it was too remote for the mint in Sinkiang to know the exact design. This error pattern lasted an even longer time on the silver and copper coins minted in Kashi. We can know from the Record of the Meeting of the Sinkiang Unification Society that the meeting place was well decorated. For example, "five-color national flags are erected inside and outside the city gate. Fivecolor flags are hung in the meeting place, and between two flags are white banners which word 'long live the republic' and 'live nationalities are one family.'" The decoration of the meeting place shows the society principle that it upheld a republican system in which people from different ethnic groups and provinces would be treated equally. During the celebrations, the Sinkiang Unification Society devoted itself to publicizing republican ideas. For instance, on July 1, 1912, Dihua, the capital of Sinkiang Province, held a celebration meeting to celebrate the republic. Most of the people who attended the meeting were businessmen and scholars, and only one out of five was a politician. The gates of the city were decorated with colorful national flags. The society set a couplet at the entrance on which was written "long live the Republic" and "democratic constitutionalism"11 Therefore, the design of the society medal should be elegant with lofty morals.

The silver medal sold by Champion Auction weighs 27.8 grams, close to the weight of 7 mace and 2 candareen coins (about 26.5 grams). The weight is not in line with the previous weight system of tiangang coins. A 1912 one-tael silver coin weighs 35.5 grams, is 86% silver and 39.5 mm in diameter12; a 5-mace silver coin weighs 17.6 grams, is 88% silver and 33.6 mm in diameter.12 They are obviously different in weight. However, medals are not silver coins that were minted to circulate, so they do not need to follow such a weight system. If Sinkiang Unification Society medals were struck by the Dihua Mint, which produced tiangang coins, engravers and workers might have a mindset when making blanks so that the weight might be 5 maces rather than 7 maces and 2 candareens. However, the other 4 medals' weights and diameters were no published, so we need more research to find the answer.

Conclusion As the theme song The Great Wall Never Falls of the hit TV series Warrior fearless in the 1980s sings, "this sleeping lion is awakening," which manifests that the Chinese people were ambitious to save the nation. From the "Heirs of the Dragon" to the "Oriental Lion," the change is also vividly reflected in coin and medal designs. The Dihua Mint in Sinkiang in western China still produced silver dragon coins in 1911, but in 1912, it started to mint coins with a lion and dual-flag pattern. The wheels of history are rolling forward. There is still a long way for the Chinese nation to go after the dawn of the republic.

The major events of the Sinkiang Unification Society released in the Shanghai News are as follows: May 26, 1912, the Sinkiang Unification Society held its first meeting.

Coins and medals are micro archives of history. They are not only cultural relics but also a form of historical literature. They exist in large amounts and are easy to conserve, so they can help us get close to history. The 1912 Sinkiang Unification Society Silver Medals were witnesses of the related history.

FEATURES

Their design is interesting and the story behind them is even more exciting and inspiring. At present, we still know little about the exact background of the medal. We need to explore more documents, analyze other medals in kind and find out the lineages of other medals to find the answer.

Notes on Spanish Eight Reales and Chinese Chops Salvador Fontenla Ballesta〔Spain〕

PRELIMINARY CONSIDERATIONS

Time 1730 1735 1740 1745 1750 1755 1760 1765 1770 1775 1777 1780 1782 1785 1789 1790 1795 1800 1805 1807 1808 1810 1815 1820 1821 1825

The Chinese chopped Spanish coins to guarantee the f ineness and weight, and to protect merchants from fakes. To better understand the coins that were chopped I have tracked chopmarked Spanish eight reales for many years by date and mint (see graph). I have collected data on a total of 2,055 coins that have appeared in the catalogs of auction houses Numinter, Cayón, Castán, Melillense Numismatic Association, Machiletra, Domingo Martín, Artiles, Valencian Numismatics, Sisó and de Guillermo. Note, it is clear that an undetermined number of coins will have been sold repeatedly, not always being sold in the same house. In my theory, in general, the entry of the Spanish coins in the East would occur in the same year of issuance or very close to the minting date. The chops, although they were made at later dates, are a statistical estimation of the quantity of coins that circulated in the East for years.

coincided with the French Revolution. This event caused a shift in international trade in Spain’s favor, at the expense of France. A boom occurred in England in 1790, and there was a considerable decrease in coins minted in 1792.

Mexico City Lima Potosi Total

From the previous date up, with some ups and downs, the previous levels held steady leading to a spectacular rise from 1802 onwards. This spectacular hike, with the exception of the year 1807 in which the English took Montevideo and attacked Buenos Aires, strongly diminished with the War of Independence and the loss of Spain’s colonies in America. The mints of Lima and Potosí disappear completely in 1809. The mint of Mexico is sustained somewhat in 1809, but in 1810 Hidalgo state in central Mexico revolted in September. The nearby Mexico City Mint languished until ceased production in 1812.

Graphical interpretation of the data from the previous chart.

CONCLUSIONS The oldest coin with a Chinese chop is an 8 reales from Felipe V, minted in 1735, at the mint in Mexico City (Numinter 09/1979). Between this date and 1765, chopmarked coins are scarce, perhaps because business relationships were sporadic. It is possible that some of these pieces entered later, with other later date 8 reales.

After the War of Independence (1808-1814) some chopped coins minted in Lima in 1817 sporadically reappear, and also from Guadalajara, Mexico in 1818, which had begun minting in 1812. The mint of Guadalajara f inished minting Spanish coins in 1821 (Cayon 01/1979) and the last Spanish eight reales were in 1821 (Mexico City), 1825 (Potosí), 1824 (Lima), 1817 (Santiago) and 1823 (Guadalajara, Mexico).

Population numbers increase slightly in 1766. In that year the mint at Lima (Cayón 07/1979) begun production, and in 1768 the Potosí mint (Numinter 01/1979), which had started work in the previous year. No 1772 8 reales with chopmarks are known from this mint which might because be that date is already considered rare.

Logically, the monopoly of the silver f low to the East was almost exclusively from American mints, and among these, Mexico City predominated (63%), followed by Lima (19%) and Potosí (17%), with small amounts of 0.44% for the rest (Guadalajara, Madrid and Santiago).

The f low of silver coins to Asian countries (China and Japan) was strengthened between 1771 and 1776. There was a boom in 1777, probably as a result of the war of Independence of the US, which would hinder England's trade with the East. The preponderance of the use of the 8 reales is maintained, which may have resulted in the increase of foreign counterfeits of the worldwide recognized currency. In 1782 there is a depression in the flow of silver, with a recovery in the following year, when the Treaty of Paris (1783) was signed and Honduras and Florida were reconquered.

The end of the flow of eight reales to the East did not mean the end of their circulation there (China and Japan). International prestige would give it a long life.

About Alexander Pogrebetsky

In his political views, Pogrebetsky was attracted to the Social Revolutionary Party since his youth and became active since 1907.

During the period from September 1909 to January 1910, Pogrebetsky was exiled to Irkutsk by the then Irkutsk

General Governor A. N. Selivanova (А. Н. Селиванова)

due to his revolutionar y activ ities. In October 1913, Pogrebetsky returned to Irkutsk and got his passport back. After that, Pogrebatesky worked in journalism for some time.

Before the outbreak of the Russian Revolution, Pogrebetsky was an active public figure and one of the activists of the

Four Aging Emperors David Vagi〔USA〕

A popular way to collect ancient Roman coins is by emperor.

most emperors reigned while already adults, yet another factor that limited the opportunity for "maturing" portraits.

Portraits are one of the hallmarks of coins of the Roman Empire. For centuries, collectors have marveled at the images of emperors and members of their families that appear on coins. Not surprisingly, portraits often are the focus of collections.

On some occasions, though, emperors began their reigns as youngsters and ruled long enough that a meaningful transformation in their appearance can be observed. We've selected four such emperors to illustrate this phenomenon. We'll start with the infamous Nero (A.D. 54-68), whose reign ended amid a civil war while he was still a relatively young man.

The reigns of most emperors were short enough that there is no real opportunity for the style of their portraits to change significantly. Also, 1

This great leap forward in Caracalla's appearance surely had more to do with political circumstances than rapid aging, for in A.D. 211 he had assumed supreme control of the empire with the death of his father (of natural causes) and his murder of his co-emperor brother, with whom he nursed a bitter rivalry.

In A.D. 216, when Caracalla was about 28 years old, this

Official World Money Fair Berlin Show-Panda 2020 8- & 16-Gram Wantde: The Panda with the Two Different Eye Colors Oliver Strahl〔Germany〕

From the mint error and its discovery, on the origin of the frosted areas on a coin, up to their official recognition as a variant by the third-party grading company NGC

Picture 1: World Money Fair Panda 2020 - Mirrored / Frosted Eyes

At the World Money Fair 2020 in Berlin, the new Show Panda medals were released just in time for the start of the fair on January 31, 2020 at 10:00 a.m., together with the Chinese Show Panda Catalogue 1984-2019.

500 members, is constantly growing and thus lets the general buying interest in these areas slide upwards. As in previous years, two different silver Panda Show medals were available for purchase at the Künker booth on the World Money Fair. On the one hand, a 1 Oz silver issue from the Shenzhen Guobao Mint Co, Ltd. with the motif of the newborn Berlin panda twins and on the other hand an 8-gram silver medal from the Shanghai Mint Co, Ltd. with a depicted panda baby head, which is additionally framed with a fantastic hologram effect.

The anticipation for these traditiona l issues was enormous this year, due to a worldwide returning strong increase in demand for the official Show Panda medals. In add it ion, the Ger man col lectors' com mun it y for Ch inese num ismat ics is ex per iencing a tr ue renaissance, the German Facebook group for NGCGrading and for Chinese coins, which has more than

sought-after rarities. The after-sale price (first release prices 89.- and 39.- Euro) has already been raised since the fair and in free trade the value is even higher - a graded PFUC70 1 Oz silver Berlin Show Panda 2020 recently fetched 239 US Dollars in an online auction.

The distributor therefore immediately checked the available medals from his own stock and discovered around 50 pieces with the identically minted frosted eyes, which he sent together in a submission with a total of 100 pieces of the 8-gram pandas to the experts at NGC Shanghai for certification and verification of a variant. The subsequent review of the remaining Show Pandas still available on the market did not reveal any further finds. Thus, according to current figures, an estimated 370 Show Panda medals of the total circulation have the minting with the mirrored/frosted eyes. NGC Shanghai estimates the circulation of the version with the two frosted eyes to only 21% (about 130 pieces). The same design of the 8-gram issue also appeared on a rare 16-gram piefort silver version, which has a smaller circulation of only 100 pieces. This piefort medal was not for a free sale, but it served as an exclusive gift. Here, about 30 pieces features the frosted/frosted and 70 pieces the mirrored/frosted eyes. The rare versions are not in circulation according to the current status. The Shanghai Mint Co., Ltd. had first produced 200 Show Panda medals for the Künker auction house. These f irst mintages went directly to Berlin for the distribution at the World Money Fair 2020. All the Show Panda medals supplied have already been checked for the striking detail by Künker and the results show the more frequent variant in all cases. The second margin of the remaining 300 pieces was delivered to the distributor to its headquarters in Shanghai. Michael Chou met for a talk with the Shanghai Mint Co, Ltd. and the chief designer Yu Min. Here the two different types were discussed, and the assumption of the new variant was confirmed.

Both issues of the Pandas quickly moved across the sales counter during the fair from Friday to Sunday. After the World Money Fair, I took photos for an article and had a closer look at the Show Panda medals. With the 8-gram silver version, I noticed a cute detail - the left eye was mirrored, and the right eye was frosted. This weird detail was first mentioned in my article in the 18th issue of the Journal of East Asian Numismatics. I asked the distributor if this was deliberately designed that way or if it could possibly even be a rare mint error. The surprise and uproar were great when the experts from NGC confirmed that it was an error, or rather a newly discovered variant. The sold pieces from the Künker auction house all had two different eye colors and so the legitimate question arose as to how many pandas in total were minted with the two correct frosted eyes. Discussions took place in collector circles and the acquired Show Panda medals were appraised. The treasure hunt started, and higher prices were called out for the error-free version, but unfortunately not a single piece with the two frosted eyes could be found.

During an investigation in the Shanghai Mint Co., Ltd. the error came to light. To give a coin frosted surfaces, this requires a very special processing step. For this purpose, the coin die used is covered with a transparent adhesive tape and the areas that are to appear in a white frosted shine are precisely cut out under the microscope in f ine handwork with a scalpel. The coin die is then placed in a sandblasting machine - by the sandblasting of the cut-out areas the desired frosted effect is now achieved during the minting process. When cutting out, the left eye was accidentally forgotten and remained protected by the transparent tape. This prevented the

frosted effect on the left eye, which is of benefit to the collectors of variants and of course makes them very pleased. A post-processing of the coin die with the sandblasting technique would be possible for further additional frosted areas. The coin die is taped again and the desired surfaces, which should have a frosted effect, are cut out. An example are the subsequently frosted sports motifs, such as the 5 Yuan Football 1986 or the 10 Yuan Volleyball 1984.

Corporation (NGC). The discovered error was so signif icant for NGC that it has now been off icially included in the VarietyPlus Grading database. For a small additional fee, the respective variant will be ind icated on the label in the f uture, thereby considerably increasing the value of the medal. In addition, NGC has dedicated a separate article to the variants of the official World Money Fair Show Panda 2020 to emphasize the significance of the relevance.

At the first swing of the Show Panda medals with the two different eyes, it is estimated that the coin die used broke at about 370 minted pieces. This happened shortly before the completion of the entire mintage and the coin die had to be replaced. For the new coin die production, both eyes were cut out correctly and the remaining quantity of the total circulation of 500 pieces was f inally minted out. The previous error was not noticed, which resulted in the delivery of all medals and no more replacement of the first minted variants. All in all, there are therefore two made and slightly different coin dies regarding the frosted area of the eyes. When the first coin die was used, initially 70 piefort Show Pandas were minted in the same time. The remaining quantity of 30 pieces was finally minted with the new second coin die.

For coins with a high circulation, such frosted variants occur more frequently and can still be very valuable, depending on the quantity minted. Some examples of variants are the 5 Yuan coin 1993 Yin & Yang Philosophy (Frosted Yin), the 5 Yuan Silver Panda 1994 (Frosted Gap) or the 5 Yuan Gold Panda 1997 (Frosted Gap). Among the variants are also forgotten as well as erroneous details like at the 5 Yuan Genghis Khan 1997 (with and without parentheses) or the golden Basel Show Panda 1988 (AU and Pt - designation of the same precious metal). With the Basel Show Panda 1988, most medals had a Pt designation for platinum - but the medal consisted of gold. This mishap was discovered comparatively late, only at the end of the coin show, and the very small remaining quantity, which had not yet found a

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

2009 中國近代機製幣競選活動 弘揚中國錢幣文化

推動市場健康發展

TOP 10 of the Greatest Chinese Struck Coins Survey 評選標準

精選活動依據錢幣的珍品稀少性、價值昂貴性、品相完美性、群

體認同性、藝術觀賞性、歷史故事性進行評選。

珍品稀少性:好的錢幣應是稀有的,僅有少量生產或流傳下來。本書中 有些錢幣是孤品,世上獨此一枚。有些錢幣很少在市面出現,因此相當 難得。但是,一些僅在其系列錢幣的背景下屬稀有的錢幣亦位列精選活 動的上榜名單。

價值昂貴性:一般來說,好的錢幣應具有昂貴的價值,但並非一定如此。 品相完美性:好的錢幣一般都保存得非常完好。但完美的品相並不一定 2009 年 11 月 11 日 , 戴志強、孫浩與周邁可在北京的初選結果發佈會上合影 Dai Zhiqiang, Sun Hao and Michael Hans Chou, at the Top Chinese Coins Survey in Beijing on November the 11th, 2009

活動目的

中國錢幣文化燦爛悠久,具有豐富的內涵。為在中國錢幣界進行

意味著毫無瑕疵,而是相對而言保存最完好者。

群體認同性:好的錢幣應被大多數人所欣賞、認同。有些錢幣也許是稀有、

昴貴的,但其是否真正具備高度的群體認同性也是一個重要的評選標準。

一次科學、深入而廣泛的調查評選,弘揚中國錢幣文化,提升社會對錢

藝術觀賞性:好的錢幣應能為人們帶來審美愉悅。

中國近代機製幣精選活動。並根據精選結果,出版《中國近代機製幣精

歷史故事性:好的錢幣會講故事,應包含豐富的歷史意義和內涵。有些

幣收藏的關注與興趣,推動錢幣市場健康、繁榮、有序的發展,特舉辦 品鑒賞》一書。

活動時間

2009 年 10 月 9 日至 2009 年 12 月 18 日

錢幣的背景故事並不為人所知,僅在少教的相關文獻中提到過。精選活 動的意義不僅在於評選出一個名單,更在於讓人們瞭解錢幣背後的歷史 故事,瞭解令錢幣具有極致誘惑的原因。

活動方式

中國近代機製幣精選活動的舉辦原則是堅持權威性、科學性和公

正性。為推動活動順利進行,組織方在上海、背景、香港、新加坡、美

國等地舉行五次大型說明會,近 150 人次出席。並通過電話、郵件、

面對面交流等方法,向 138 位權威專家發出選票,收回選票 102 張,

其中 45% 來自中國內地,20% 來自臺灣,15% 來自香港,還有 20% 來自世界其他地區。

11 月 11 日,初評結果發佈會在北京舉行,公佈初步選出的 12 枚

珍稀錢幣。12 月 10 日,組委會根據選票評分,將 12 枚錢幣分為三等, 前三枚為第一等,另三枚為第二等,後六枚為第三等,提交顧問組進行

評分,最後選出前十枚錢幣。12 月 18 日,精選結果發佈會在上海順利

舉行。
