Boutique Recommendation - A Set of Copper Coins
（一）大清铜币
光绪三十二年（公元1906年），应户部要求两江总督周馥主持建造新厂，改各厂名江苏，江宁户部造币分厂。是年改模，制造大清铜币，丙午纪年。
In the 32nd year of the Guangxu reign (1906 AD), at the request of the Ministry of Housing, Zhou Fu, the Governor of Liangjiang, presided over the construction of new factories, renaming each factory to Jiangsu and the Jiangning Mint Branch of the Ministry of Housing. It was the year when the mold was changed and the Qing Dynasty copper coins were manufactured, marking the Bingwu era.
大清铜币版式繁多，尤以当十者为最。知名收藏家刘益谦先生曾经说过：大清铜币这种币，一直以来都是大收藏家梦寐以求的，对于这种极具收藏价值的藏品，收集到便是缘分，福气。在中国，藏家们极其喜欢这枚钱币，因为中华民族是龙的传人。上下数千年，龙已渗透了中国社会的各个方面，成为一种文化的凝聚和积淀。龙成了中国的象征、中华民族的象征、中国文化的象征，因而这种钱币一直深受收藏家的喜爱。
There are various types of copper coins in the Qing Dynasty, with the top ten being the most prominent. Mr. Liu Yiqian, a well-known collector, once said: The Qing Dynasty copper coins have always been the dream of great collectors. For this highly valuable collection, collecting them is fate and luck. In China, collectors are extremely fond of this coin because the Chinese nation is a descendant of dragons. For thousands of years, dragons have infiltrated various aspects of Chinese society, becoming a cultural cohesion and accumulation. The dragon has become a symbol of China, a symbol of the Chinese nation, and a symbol of Chinese culture, thus this type of coin has always been loved by collectors.
我公司近期征集了一枚“大清铜币”，品相完美，包浆圆润。钱币正面珠圈内铸有"大清铜币"四字，钱币正面珠圈外上环为满文及干支纪年"丙午"，左右分列"户部"二字，下环铸"当制钱十文";钱币磨损少，币面有些许氧化。钱币背面有一条栩栩如生的神龙，雕刻工艺精美，龙纹细腻，龙麟深邃，龙眼炯炯有神，威武霸气，尽显皇家威严，十分震撼，让人看了无不拍手叫绝。背面外环镌英文”KIANG-NAN TEN CASH“，融入了国外文字文化，可见清朝时期开始我国已有对外接触交流的现象，是该时期鲜明的历史印记。具有较高的收藏价值!
Our company has recently collected a "Qing Dynasty Copper Coin" with perfect appearance and smooth coating. The obverse bead circle of the coin bears the four characters "Qing Dynasty Copper Coin". The outer ring of the obverse bead circle of the coin bears the Manchu script and the Ganzhi era "Bingwu", with two characters "Hubu" on the left and right sides, and the lower ring bears the character "Dang Qian Shi Wen"; Coins have less wear and tear, and the surface of the coin is slightly oxidized. On the back of the coin, there is a lifelike divine dragon, with exquisite carving techniques, delicate dragon patterns, deep dragon horns, and bright and powerful dragon eyes. It fully demonstrates the royal dignity and is very shocking, making people applaud and marvel at it. The outer ring on the back is engraved with the English word "KIANG-NAN TEN CASH", which integrates foreign written culture. It can be seen that China has had external contact and exchange since the Qing Dynasty, which is a distinct historical mark of that period. It has high collection value!
大清铜币在我国货币的历史的长河中，仅是十分短暂的一瞬间，据说只有少数几枚被保存下来。这种硬币不仅因其稀有性而备受瞩目，在古钱币收藏市场上也备受追捧，特别是在中国古代钱币的爱好者中，其估价更是高达119万——460万之间。如今铜币也有很大的收藏价值，很多收藏家对大清铜币尤为喜爱。近几年铜币被炒的火热，价格甚至千万。大清铜币如今存世量非常少，价格一直飙升，所以在古玩市场对大清铜币的收藏也是非常的火热。
The Qing Dynasty copper coins were only a brief moment in the history of Chinese currency, with only a few said to have been preserved. This type of coin is not only highly regarded for its rarity, but also highly sought after in the ancient coin collection market, especially among enthusiasts of ancient Chinese coins, with valuations ranging from 1.19 million to 4.6 million. Nowadays, copper coins also have great collectible value, and many collectors are particularly fond of the Qing Dynasty copper coins. In recent years, copper coins have been hotly fried, with prices even reaching tens of millions. The current stock of Qing Dynasty copper coins is very small, and their prices have been soaring, so the collection of Qing Dynasty copper coins in the antique market is also very popular.
（二）双旗币
1911年12月29 日，经辛亥革命后，已光复的17省代表在南京推选孙中山为中华民国临时大总统。1912年1月3日，中华民国政府宣告成立，清朝灭亡，在中国持续2000 多年的封建君主专制随之结束。民国成立时，由于币制尚未建立，除四川改铸大汉银币，福建改铸中华元宝外，主要的造币厂，大都仍沿用前清钢模铸造银币，以供流通需要。由于币制混乱，临时政府财政部长陈锦涛，于民国元年3月11日呈文大总统孙中山，鼓铸10万元纪念银币以为整顿。
On December 29, 1911, after the Xinhai Revolution, representatives of 17 provinces that had been restored elected Sun Yat sen as the interim president of the Republic of China in Nanjing. On January 3, 1912, the government of the Republic of China was declared established, and the Qing Dynasty fell, bringing an end to the feudal monarchy that had lasted for over 2000 years in China. When the Republic of China was established, due to the lack of a monetary system, most major mints still used steel molds from the former Qing Dynasty to cast silver coins for circulation, except for Sichuan to cast Han silver coins and Fujian to cast Chinese ingots. Due to currency chaos, the Minister of Finance of the Provisional Government, Chen Jintao, submitted a letter to President Sun Yat sen on March 11 of the first year of the Republic of China, minting a commemorative silver coin of 100000 yuan for rectification.
1911年辛亥革命胜利后，清帝退位，中华民国成立。中国民主主义革命的先驱者孙中山就任中华民国临时大总统，并在颁布的“临时大总统令”中提出要“另刊新模，鼓铸纪念币”，随后武昌和南京两处造币厂率先铸行了 “中华民国开国纪念币”铜元辅币，以十文面值的为主，在全国大量发行以取代清朝铜元。这就是“中华民国开国纪念币” 铜元的由来。 无庸置疑，这种铜元的币名很明确，就是“中华民国开国纪念币”。根据钱币收藏界的一般共识，对一种钱币，应该把可以明确币名或显示钱币最主要特征的一面称为“面”，而把其相对的另一面称为“背”，据此我们应该把此币最能区别于前朝铜元,并具有鲜明的划时代革命和进步意义的有“中华民国开国纪念币”（以下简称开国纪念币）字样的一面称为面，而把其对应记值的另一面称为背。
After the victory of the 1911 Revolution, the Qing Emperor abdicated and the Republic of China was established. Sun Yat sen, the pioneer of the democracy revolution in China, took office as the provisional president of the Republic of China, and proposed in the "Provisional Presidential Decree" to "issue a new model and drum cast commemorative coin". Later, two mints in Wuchang and Nanjing took the lead in casting the "commemorative coin of the founding of the Republic of China" copper dollar sub coins, mainly in ten characters, and issued a large number of coins nationwide to replace the Qing Dynasty copper coins. This is the origin of the "commemorative coin of the founding of the Republic of China" copper dollar. Undoubtedly, the name of this copper coin is very clear, that is, "commemorative coin of the founding of the Republic of China". According to the general consensus of the coin collection circle, one side of a coin that can define the name of the coin or show the most important features of the coin should be called "face", and the other side of the coin should be called "back". Therefore, we should call the side of the coin that can most distinguish it from the copper dollar of the previous dynasty, and has the epoch-making revolutionary and progressive significance, the side with the words "commemorative coin of the founding of the Republic of China" (hereinafter referred to as the founding commemorative coin) "face", The other side of the corresponding value is called the back.
双旗币是中国古钱币的珍品，因为它们含有深厚的文化底蕴，并具有极高的珍贵价值。双旗币内容丰富，精美绝伦，线条流畅，外形协调，字体工整，结构典雅，这些精美的古钱币使它成为古币中的珍品。

我公司近期征集了一枚“湖南省造双旗币”，钱币正面中央左为铁血十八星旗、右为五色旗，两面国旗上系结带相互交叉，外缘上铸“湖南省造”四字，左右分列花枝；钱币背面中央为稻穗组成的嘉禾纹禾穗，边缘环英文，纹饰别致，画面造型和谐。此钱币整体色泽呈铜色，其字体笔法流畅，纹饰刻制工细，边齿分明排列规则，深浅适度，包浆浓厚。湖南省造双旗币记录了近代历史的兴衰，同时因为材质珍贵、制作精美、图案考究，极具收藏与欣赏价值。
Our company recently collected a "double flag coin made in Hunan Province". On the front of the coin, in the center of the coin, there is an iron blood eighteen star flag on the left and a Five-Colored Flag on the right. On the two flags, ties are tied and crossed with each other, and the four characters "made in Hunan Province" are cast on the outer edge, with flowers and twigs on the left and right; The center of the reverse of the coin is a Jiahe grain consisting of rice ears, with an English border and unique decorations, creating a harmonious visual design. The overall color of this coin is copper, with smooth handwriting, meticulous carving, clear and regular arrangement of edges and teeth, moderate depth, and thick coating. The production of double flag coins in Hunan Province records the rise and fall of modern history, and is highly valuable for collection and appreciation due to its precious materials, exquisite craftsmanship, and exquisite patterns.
双旗币的由来包含了中国古代传统文化、历史价值和象征性意义。双旗币本身是一种古老的货币形式，它的最重要的特征是其上面所刻的两扇旗子，旗帜寓意“和平友好”，寄寓着中华民族“大一统”的理念，表达着中国古代官民共同携手，共建繁荣昌盛的国家的愿望，充满着爱国情怀。
The origin of the Double Flag Coin includes ancient Chinese traditional culture, historical value, and symbolic significance. The double flag coin itself is an ancient form of currency, and its most important feature is the two flags engraved on it. The flag symbolizes "peace and friendship", embodies the concept of "great unity" of the Chinese nation, expresses the desire of ancient Chinese officials and people to work together to build a prosperous country, and is full of patriotism.
双旗币是中国古代传统文化的一部分，它象征着中国古代对统一和团结的坚定信念，象征着多元文明共存的宗旨，以及希冀百家争鸣的安定社会。它在钱币界占有重要地位，它不仅是一种货币形式，更代表中国古代传统文化的历史符号。由于双旗币上刻有“和平友好”的旗帜，它的价值比其他货币更加特殊，可以说是珍贵的收藏品。为此，许多收藏者对双旗币情有独钟，它们也因此成为受欢迎的投资项目。双旗币承载着中国古代对统一和团结的坚定信念，也象征着多元文明共存的宗旨，这也是它吸引如此多买家的原因之一。
Double flag coins are a part of ancient Chinese traditional culture, symbolizing the firm belief in unity and unity in ancient China, the purpose of coexistence of multiple civilizations, and the hope for a stable society where a hundred schools of thought contend. It holds an important position in the coin industry, not only as a form of currency, but also as a historical symbol representing ancient Chinese traditional culture.

The double flag coin carries the firm belief in unity and unity in ancient China, and also symbolizes the purpose of coexistence of multiple civilizations, which is one of the reasons why it attracts so many buyers.
（三）四川铜币
军政府造四川铜币是辛亥革命时期的产物。1911年12月发发生成都兵变以尹昌衡、罗纶为正副都督的四川军政府取代了成立仅12天的大汉四川军政府。新的四川军政府成立之初即面收布着需用日繁、度支日绌的财政困窘局面。军政府迅速接管了四川成都造币厂，决定铸造四川铜币以应急。
The military government's production of Sichuan copper coins was a product of the Xinhai Revolution period. In December 1911, a Chengdu mutiny occurred, and the Sichuan Military Government, led by Yin Changheng and Luo Lun, replaced the 12 day old Han Sichuan Military Government. At the beginning of the establishment of the new Sichuan Military Government, it faced a financial dilemma of increasing demand and spending. The military government quickly took over the Chengdu Mint in Sichuan and decided to mint Sichuan copper coins as an emergency measure.
民国元年4月，四川成都造币厂奉军政府之令，更换前清龙纹铜元旧模，雕版民国铜元新款。正式开铸军政府造四川铜币”，开模铸造“军政府造四川铜币”(也称“汉”字铜元)。开铸之初仅发行十文、二十文两种钱币。同年5月，又添铸当五十文一种，当年计铸十文铜元6055万余枚，二十文铜元1247万余枚，五十文铜元935万余枚。民国2年，除继续铸造十文、二十文、五十文铜元之外，又增铸重五钱八分的一百文铜元。 因此，一百文铜币，极为珍贵，市场价值更是不菲。
In April of the first year of the Republic of China, the Chengdu Mint in Sichuan was ordered by the military government to replace the old mold of the dragon patterned copper coins from the previous Qing Dynasty and engrave the new model of the Republic of China copper coins. Officially minting the "Sichuan Copper Coin Made by the Military Government" and casting the "Sichuan Copper Coin Made by the Military Government" (also known as the "Han" copper coin). At the beginning of the coinage, only two types of coins were issued: ten wen and twenty wen. In May of the same year, another type of bronze coin was added, with a total of over 60.55 million pieces of ten wen copper coins, over 12.47 million pieces of twenty wen copper coins, and over 9.35 million pieces of fifty wen copper coins cast that year. In the second year of the Republic of China, in addition to continuing to cast ten wen, twenty wen, and fifty wen copper coins, an additional one hundred wen copper coins weighing five to eight cents were also cast. Therefore, the 100 wen copper coin is extremely precious, and its market value is even more expensive.
我公司近期征集了一枚“四川铜币”，币面正中"四川铜币"4字，中间为海棠花图案，背面中间有个圈，圈内有篆阳文"汉"字，“汉”字底有数十条横直纹，因而金币收藏者也称之为“汉”字铜元。“汉”字圆圈外还环绕有18个小圆圈，代表当时的十八个省份。把18个小圆圈围绕着“汉”字联关成一体，寓意十八省人民团结起来共同为“驱逐鞑虏，恢复中华”而战斗。
Our company has recently collected a "Sichuan Copper Coin" with four characters in the center, a pattern of begonia flowers in the middle, and a circle in the middle on the back. The circle contains the "Han" character in seal script, with tens of horizontal and straight lines at the bottom of the "Han" character. Therefore, gold coin collectors also refer to it as the "Han" character copper coin. There are also 18 small circles surrounding the circle with the character "Han", representing the eighteen provinces at that time. Linking 18 small circles around the character "Han" into one, symbolizing the unity of the people of the 18 provinces to fight together for "expelling the Tartars and restoring China".
此钱币存世量稀少，铜板铸造时间不长，前后仅流通了50多年，极具收藏价值和经济价值。2012年4月28日，民国二年军政府造四川铜币，成交价是160万元人民币;2012年12月28日，中华民国年四川铜币军政，成交价120万元人民币;2013年6月7日，民国元年军政府造汉字四川，成交价:101万元人民币;2015年8月5日四川铜币，成交价是196万元人民币;2015年8月20日，四川铜币，成交价是320万元人民币。
This coin has a rare existence in the world, and the copper plate was not minted for a long time. It has only been in circulation for over 50 years before and after, making it highly collectible and economically valuable. On April 28, 2012, the military government of the Republic of China made Sichuan copper coins with a transaction price of 1.6 million RMB; On December 28, 2012, the Republic of China Sichuan Copper Coin Military and Political Affairs, with a transaction price of 1.2 million RMB; On June 7, 2013, the military government in the first year of the Republic of China created the Chinese character Sichuan, with a transaction price of 1.01 million RMB; On August 5, 2015, the transaction price of Sichuan copper coins was 1.96 million RMB; On August 20, 2015, the transaction price of Sichuan copper coins was 3.2 million RMB.
四川铜币一直被收藏家们视作珍宝。地域性政权发行货币的时间也相当短，加上流通地域狭小，所销值不菲。另外，由于改行纸钞，铜币发行量较少，故价格也较高。
Sichuan copper coins have always been regarded as treasures by collectors. The time for regional regimes to issue currency is also quite short, coupled with the narrow circulation area, resulting in significant sales value. In addition, due to the conversion to paper currency, the issuance of copper coins is relatively low, resulting in higher prices.
