The Jin Dynasty was a regime established by the Jurchens in the north. It turned out that the subject belonged to the Liao and was often bullied by the Khitans. Later, Yan Aku fought against the Liao in the fifth year of the Northern Song Dynasty (1115 AD), and the founding name was Jin, and the capital was Shangjing (present-day Baicheng, Acheng District, Harbin, Heilongjiang Province).
The coins of the Jin Dynasty absorbed the advantages of Song money, and the money calligraphy was mostly written by famous artists and the casting was exquisite. In addition to the common Zhenglong Da Ding money, Tianfu, Tianju, Huangtong, Cheng'an, Taihe, Chongqing, Zhining, and Zhenyou all had minted money during the years, most of which were ancient spring treasures. Due to the rarity, most of the rare springs in the Jin Dynasty were found late, and from the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were successively two coins of Zhining Yuanbao and Chongqing Yuanbao, which belonged to the new products at that time, and most of the Quan family thought that they were fake, until these two coins were in the hands of the famous coin collector Fang Yaoyu, and only then did they justify their names.
The earliest appearance is "Zhining Yuanbao", which was purchased by Wang Zuyuan in Beijing Liuli Factory in the first month of the sixth year of Tongzhi, Wang Zuyuan is a famous connoisseur in modern China, and his son Wang Yirong is also a famous Chinese jinshi literary scholar, Wang Yirong, because he was the first to discover the oracle bone and cut it off as the "Yin Shang script", and was recognized by the world academic community as the "father of the oracle bone". Wang Zuyuan and Wang Yirong are both lovers of coin collecting, and Wang Yirong is known for his exquisite study of ancient coins, and has many acquaintances with the numismatic masters Bao Kang (Zi Nian), Li Zuoxian (Zhu Peng), Yang Jizhen (Youyun), Pan Zuyin (Boyin), Hu Yizan (Shi Cha), Wu Dawei (Qingqing), Luo Zhenyu (Shu Yun). When Wang Zuyuan got the "Zhining Yuanbao", at that time, Quanjie did not believe that there was such a treasure in the heavens, and the famous coin collector Li Zuoxian believed that it was a Chongning coin re-engraving, and Bao Kang also said that it was like Chongning qian. The two men were forgeries, and neither Bao nor Li had ever recorded their writings, so that the money was buried for more than half a century. After Wang Zuyuan's death in the twelfth year of Guangxu, the coins he had hidden belonged to his son Wang Yirong, who after wang Yirong was martyred in the Gengzi Rebellion, the coins he had hidden were obtained by Liu Parrot, and then disappeared for a long time.

In the fifth year of the Republic of China (1916), another Large Coin of the Jin Dynasty appeared in the Quanjie, the seal book "Chongqing Yuanbao", "Chongqing Yuanbao" before the spectrum is not contained, as large as the folding of the five, the shape and text similar to the Taihe heavy treasure. The four characters are made of jade tendon seals, rotated reading, and the light back is textless. The body of the coin is copper and blue and white, the production is exquisite, the text is beautiful, imitating the Chongning money system, this money is a merchant named Wang Puquan in the Republic of China five years from Liaodong, and later mortgaged in the coin collector Fang DiShan.

In the spring of the tenth year of the Republic of China (1921), Zheng Jiaxiang saw the "Chongqing Yuanbao" at the Fangdi Mountain, and the green rust between the flesh was as fine as a green dot, exquisite and exquisite, and sighed as a treasure. The Zheng family said to Fang Dishan that people said that it was fake money, and I was willing to buy a suspicious product for 300 gold. Fang Dishan laughed and said that he only got Zhiyin today, saying that Zheng Jiaxiang was the "Bole" of this coin. Fang Di Shan was willing to give up. Unfortunately, the pledge period was not completed, and Zheng Jiaxiang failed to achieve his wish. Later, the Zheng family was hired by a company in Shanghai accordingly, and the matter was forgotten.
Also in the same year, the "Zhining Yuanbao", which had disappeared for more than twenty years, appeared in Shandong, and then went to Tianjin, where he met its "Bole" Zhang Jiongbo, and when he saw the "Zhining Yuanbao" that had been approved as a fake by Li Zuoxian and Bao Kang, he thought that although there was no green rust, the color was very old, the production was flat, the writing was fine, and there was no suspicious point, so he bought it with heavy gold. Gave it to Fang Yaoyu, another coin collector at that time, and said that there was no such money, and "Guquan Hui" was not recorded, and Li and Bao were so shallow. Fang Yaoyu said, very right, and bought it for thousands of dollars. This money was returned to the prescription medicine rain. After Zhang Shutao in the south heard about it in Shanghai, he had sent a telegram to seek it, but it was too late.
After Fang Yaoyu got this "Zhining Yuanbao", he immediately thought of the "Chongqing Yuanbao" of Fang Dishan, two coins, one "True Book" and one "Seal Book", the style of the book is different, but its copper and style temperament are exactly the same, from which it can be concluded that the folded five seal book "Chongqing Yuanbao" must be cast during the "Chongqing" years of King Jin Weishao. So I immediately went to find Fang Di Shan. After some bargaining, he got this "Chongqing Yuanbao", two pieces of gold that were called fakes at the time, which were actually the unique gold dynasty coins, both owned by Fang Yaoyu.
