What are the most valuable ancient coins in Japan?

In fact, the ancient coins over there are generally circulated from here, such as Yongle Bao Tong, where big sentences and small sentences have local characteristics. Gold coins are of course valuable.

Due to historical reasons, there are not many collectors who specialize in collecting Japanese coins in China, and people generally don't catch a cold ... There are also many collectors in Japan, and there are also many rare coins in China due to historical reasons.

There is also a strange coin among the many classifications of copper coins, that is, Japanese copper coins, which are also square holes and Chinese characters. Can you tell which Japanese coins are? Let's meet together.

Japan has its own characters, why should its own currency use Chinese characters?

This has to talk about the affiliation between Japan and China.

For a long time in history, Japan was a small country attached to China. Official script and official system are copied from China, and all Japanese official documents are written in Chinese characters. This tradition has been preserved to this day. This is why the words on Japanese coins are Chinese characters. I have to say that the Japanese people still love learning, but in 2000, they became a dependent country of China. Where did this sense of superiority come from? No more gossip. Speaking of Japanese yen, we have to say an important coin, that is Yongle Bao Tong. A Japanese archaeological team once found more than 260,000 ancient coins in a Warring States site in Liantian City, saitama. Among these ancient coins, there is the Ming Dynasty "Yongle Bao Tong" which was cast in15th century.

Yongle Bao Tong made in Japan

Yongle Bao Tong's popularity in Japan is beyond imagination. At that time, the situation in Japan was turbulent, and it was impossible to produce high-quality copper coins, so we simply used Yongle Bao Tong. In some territories of Japan, there is even a permanent high system, and the annual contribution is mainly Yongle money. Yongle Bao Tong is exquisitely cast, unified and of high quality, so there are more Yongle Bao Tong in Japan.

In the early Edo period, evergreen Bao Tong and Yuanhe Bao Tong were both produced. 1636, kuanyong Bao Tong was manufactured. Kuanyong Baotong Copper is the most common penny, and Kuanyong Bao Tong can be said to be the most Japanese yen in the hands of Tibetan friends. Besides copper, there are four pence for brass, four pence for refined iron and one penny for iron.

Tianbao Bao Tong Ren Xiao Emperor Tianbao 6 years (1835) was cast in the Golden Block of Asakusa Qiaochang Village, Edo. Oval shape, the inner hole of the outline is the same as that of ordinary coins, the face of the coin is Tianbao Bao Tong four-character straight book, the word Dangbai is on the back hole, and the gold work flower is cast under the hole. There are four languages of Wen Jiu Tian Bao and ten languages of Bao Yong Bao Tong. However, in 1835 (Tianbao six years), Tianbao Bao Tong produced 100 languages.

The great trial in the edo period: the great trial in the edo period. It was made by Goto Shiro Wei Bing with a big judgment seat, and five judgments were awarded to Yan Hong only after the Qing Dynasty. On the face, with a hammer eye, the words "Pick up two vines" and flowers are written in ink. Because big sentences are used to give answers and etiquette, they are painted in ink. The so-called twelve taels means the weight of twelve taels, which is about forty-four taels, not the price, but actually about seven or eight taels.

Besides the above, the gold coins of Evergreen and Lu Yuan also have some royal treasures, such as Tonghai.

In addition, there are mechanism coins and silver coins issued during Taisho, Showa and Meiji periods in Japan, and the currency issued by China during the Japanese Puppet Period.

Remember, foreign currency does not belong to China's monetary system. Except for a few other varieties, these foreign currencies are worthless in China. If you come across a word or title that is not in a book you don't know, don't secretly think that you have met a big treasure. Find out if they are foreign first.
