开元通宝是唐代铸造的一种铜质货币，钱币在唐代始有“通宝”。唐初沿用隋五铢，轻小淆杂。唐高祖武德四年（公元621年），为整治混乱的币制，废隋钱，效仿西汉五铢的严格规范，开铸“开元通宝”，取代社会上遗存的五铢。
Kaiyuan Tongbao is a copper coin cast in the Tang Dynasty. In the early Tang Dynasty, the Sui Five Zhu was used, which was light and confusing. In the fourth year of Wude, Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty (AD 621), in order to rectify the chaotic currency system, the Sui coins were abolished, and the "Kaiyuan Tongbao" was forged following the strict norms of the five baht in the Western Han Dynasty, replacing the five baht left
《旧唐书·食货志》记载:“（唐）高祖即位，仍用隋之五铢钱。武德四年（公元621）七月，废五铢钱，行开元通宝钱，径八分，重二铢四絫，积十文重一两，一千文重六斤四两。”钱文由书法家欧阳询书写，面文“開元通寳”，形制仍沿用秦方孔圆钱。
The Book of the Old Tang Dynasty · Food and Goods Annals records that "(Tang Dynasty) Emperor Gaozu ascended the throne and still used the five baht coin of the Sui Dynasty. In July of the fourth year of Wude (AD 621), the five baht coin was abolished, and the Kaiyuan Tongbao coin was launched. It was eight minutes in diameter, two baht and four li in weight, with ten wen weighing one or two, and a thousand wen weighing six jin and four liang." The text of the coin was written by calligrapher Ouyang Xun, with the face character "Kaiyuan Tongbao", and the shape of the Kongyuan coin still used in Qin Dynasty.
开元通宝是唐代第一种货币。由于其质量合理，通货控制得当，钱币做工比较精美，故深受百姓喜爱。开元通宝已经成为大五帝钱的一部分，具有辟邪，旺财的功效。
Kaiyuan Tongbao was the first currency in the Tang Dynasty. Due to its reasonable quality, proper currency control, and exquisite workmanship, the coins are deeply loved by the people. Kaiyuan Tongbao has become a part of the money of the Great Five Emperors, which has the effect of warding off evil spirits and boosting wealth.
另外，许多人都认为开元通宝是年号钱，理由是唐玄宗李隆基有个年号是开元，这是错误的。开元通宝是非年号钱，在唐代初年就已经铸造，是由欧阳询亲自题字，欧阳询是初唐人物，而李隆基生于盛唐，二人生活年代相差百余年，从年代上讲，欧阳询就不可能给李隆基的铸钱题字。而李隆基将年号定为开元，纯属巧合。
In addition, many people think that Kaiyuan Tongbao is the money with a year title, because it is wrong that Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang of the Tang Dynasty, has a year title of Kaiyuan. Kaiyuan Tongbao is a non annual coin, which was cast in the early Tang Dynasty. It was inscribed by Ouyang Xun himself. Ouyang Xun is a figure in the early Tang Dynasty, while Li Longji was born in the flourishing Tang Dynasty. The age difference between the two people is more than 100 years. From the perspective of age, Ouyang Xun could not inscribe Li Longji's coin. And Li Longji's designation of the year as Kaiyuan was purely coincidental.
我公司近期征集了“开元通宝一组”，直径：12.4mm，重：11.2g。此钱币包浆自然，纹路清晰，外型精致。铜质开元通宝是比较常见的一类开元通宝，由于年代较远，出土钱币较多，故大多表面有锈，磨损严重。初唐外郭较细，中唐以后外郭变宽变粗。开元通宝一般内郭较细，圆穿铸造方正。钱文为隶书“开元通宝”四字直读。通字“甬”头极有特色，融合了篆书的特点。开元通宝钱，在我国钱币史上具有划时代的地位。“开元”，意指开辟新纪元；“通宝”，意指通行宝货。开元钱的划时代地位表现在：唐代以前的钱币，多以形制或重量为名称，如刀币、五铢钱等，而自开元钱后，改称“宝”、“通宝”、“元宝”等。开元通宝是唐朝统治290年中的主要流通货币，而且影响了中国1000多年钱币的形制、钱文模式和十进位衡法。唐代开元通宝的铸制与流通，在我国钱币形制发展史上有着划时代的意义。
Our company recently collected "Kaiyuan Tongbao Group I", with a diameter of 12.4mm and a weight of 11.2g. This coin is naturally coated, with clear patterns and exquisite appearance. Copper Kaiyuan Tongbao is a relatively common type of Kaiyuan Tongbao. Due to its long history and many coins unearthed, most of them are rusted and severely worn. In the early Tang Dynasty, the outer walls were relatively thin, but after the Middle Tang Dynasty, the outer walls became wider and thicker. Generally, Kaiyuan Tongbao has a thin inner wall, round and square. Qian Wen is an official script with four characters: "Kaiyuan Tongbao". The character "Yong" has a very distinctive head, which combines the characteristics of seal script. Kaiyuan Tongbao coins have an epoch-making position in the history of Chinese coins. 'Kaiyuan' means opening up a new era; 'Tongbao' refers to the passage of treasure goods. The epoch-making status of the Kaiyuan coin is reflected in the fact that before the Tang Dynasty, coins were mostly named after their shape or weight, such as knife coins, Wuzhu coins, etc. Since the Kaiyuan coin, they have been renamed as "treasure", "Tongbao", "Yuanbao", etc. Kaiyuan Tongbao was the main currency in circulation during the 290 years of the Tang Dynasty's rule, and it also influenced the shape, style and decimal balance of Chinese coins for more than 1000 years. The casting and circulation of Kaiyuan Tongbao in the Tang Dynasty has epoch-making significance in the history of the development of the coin shape in China.
