Post-coinage is a term borrowed from ancient money, which refers to the use of pre-dynasty era numbers to mint coins in the current dynasty.
In the modern mechanism silver dollar in the post-coinage is a large number of existence, some Tibetan friends to understand the post-coinage as counterfeit money is not right, the mechanism silver dollar post-coinage is not a simple reprint of the former dynasty silver dollar, often through the modification of the mold to increase the secret mark, and the original form a clear difference, the common post-coinage has the following kinds:
1. The three-year triangle of the Republic of China
In May 1949, in order to stabilize the financial market in the northeast region and meet the needs of currency circulation in the liberated areas of the country, the Northeast People's Government selected Zhou Jianxiang, who had manufactured silver coins in the Guannei Liberated Areas, to the Shenyang Mint to be in charge of the manufacture of silver dollars, and reprinted and produced the silver coins of Yuan Shikai's head in the three years of the Republic of China.
Workers find the original mold that has been stored for 35 years from the mold library, modify the original mold and the new second prototype, "correct the word" and "modify the epaulettes", and the word "circle" is "triangle circle". Specifications for standard silver coins: diameter 39±0.05 mm, side thickness 2.55±0.05 mm, 170 silk teeth, weight 26.55 grams. In 1950, in order to support the circulation of currency in the ethnic minority areas in the southwest, the production of silver coins of Yuan Shikai's head for three years in the Republic of China continued until October 15, when the factories were evacuated when the Korean War broke out.
In February 1951, the Chengdu Mint carried out preparatory work, and the Shenyang Mint produced triangular circles for the Chengdu Mint to modify the second prototype, which was officially produced in April 1951 and stopped minting after 1954. As a result, two major versions of the triangle yuan were formed, the Shenyang version and the Chengdu version.
In addition to the documented repair of circles, repair of epaulettes, in the font and Jiahe style is also different from the factory version, Jiahe protruding, "one circle" word is thick, "one" word on the △, □, M dark mark, the pattern is slightly blurred, the original casting light is significantly lower than the factory version, Chengdu version and Shenyang version of Jiahe also have obvious differences, according to the above characteristics, triangle yuan can distinguish more than ten seed versions.
2. Hainan edition of the ninth year of the Republic of China
On November 6, 1949, the Kuomintang government was forced to move the First Mint of Guangdong Province to Haikou City, Hainan Island, using recycled silver dollars such as the silver dollars with a lower silver content of only 80%, "Xiaotou", and "Twenty-three Years Sailing Ship", which were only 80% lower in silver content.
Yuan Xiangjiu belonged to the former dynasty currency system that the Kuomintang government explicitly abolished in 1927, so the Hainan version of nine years also belonged to the post-coinage. The Hainan version has the characteristics of the fine hair version for nine years, but the font and pattern are thick, the coin surface is blurred and even the inner teeth are not clear, most of them have collars penetrated, and no different secret notes have been found, which may be that the situation is urgent and there is no mold repair.
3. Beiyang 34 and Jiangnan Jiachen
In the Longyang variety, the largest number is almost Beiyang 34 and Jiangnan Jiachen, and there are many editions, it is difficult to understand, in fact, Guangxu 34 (1908 AD) is a very special year, in October of that year, the Guangxu Emperor and Empress Dowager Cixi died one after another, the following year was changed to The Yuan Xuantong, according to common sense, the number of Beiyang 34 will not be the most, the reason is that the Xuantong Dynasty and the early Republic of China a large number of post-casting.
After the Xuantong Dynasty, no relevant literature has been found, and there are already documents for the early Republic of China, and in August of the third year of the Republic of China (1914), the Ministry of Finance ordered the Mint Branches in Nanjing and other places, instructing that before the new model of the national currency was issued, the factories switched to the use of Beiyang steel molds to make silver dollars. The steel mold was collected from the Tianjin Mint General Factory.
The following is a summary of the content of the online Tibetan friends post, the original post does not provide documentary evidence, whether it is accurate Tibetan friends will slowly examine later, the content is for reference only (this view is based on the Beiyang 34 small character version, Jiangnan Jiachen TH version as the original version)
From 1909 to May 1911, during the trial minting of the "Xuantong Year of the Great Qing Silver Coin", after minting 34 years of large characters ordinary version, is the most common and common layout of 34 years, this version is very beautiful, the dragon scales are very deep, 34 fonts are relatively large, the dragon head is full, the head of the small dragon horn under the big dragon horn, the comparison is thin, obviously different, the right side of the dragon ball, the cloud texture is different, the dragon's eye, with two small dots vividly portray the dragon's eye, as well as the dragon's tail, the difference between the clouds at the dragon's foot.
From 1912 to February 1914, after the establishment of the Nanjing Provisional Government, the Ministry of Finance submitted a letter to the Provisional President, approving that the currency would still be produced as usual. In addition to the 10 million yuan of the founding commemorative coin (the lower five-star small head) minted by the Nanjing Mint in the first year of the Republic of China, the 34-year Guangxu Yuanbao Long Tail Large Character Edition and the Jiangnan Jiachen (CH) are still the main silver coins in circulation.
From February 1914 to December 1914, the Ministry of Finance of the Beiyang Government issued a document that before the new coin was minted, it was still mainly based on the 34-year Guangxu Yuanbao made in Beiyang, but the version was changed to the short-tailed dragon version, and the minting of Jiangnan Jiachen was stopped.
Post-coinage is to meet the needs of the situation, using the pre-dynasty era number and officially issued and circulated silver dollars, which is different from the silver dollar reprint, such as the three-year re-edition between 1914 and 1919, but does not belong to the category of post-minted coins.
In addition, the reflow version of the shipyard is not post-coinage, in 1949 the domestic situation was turbulent, the price soared, the public had no confidence in paper money, the government was forced to officially announce the restoration of the silver standard in early July, and remanufactured and issued the exact same silver dollar in the twenty-third edition of the shipyard. The Central Bank was ordered to order thirty million silver coins from the United States Treasury Mint. In the spring of 1999, the Taipei Central Trust Bureau publicly auctioned silver coins, the first batch of which was 6,000, which were left behind when they were evacuated to Taiwan. Later, several batches were auctioned successively, and a large number of ships and oceans flowed back to the mainland in 23 years, known as reflow coins, and many people mistakenly thought that Taiwan used the old mold and the new system.
