Of all the ancient artifacts, perhaps the most interesting is the coin. Don't look at the small size of the ancient coins, but the historical precipitation behind them is very thick. In the cellar of Hejia Village, experts have found a variety of rare ancient coins, and there are rare "wrong version of money", what is the "wrong version of money", and what is the mystery behind it? The following Xiaobian will give you a secret.
For the HeJia Village Cellar, perhaps many readers do not know it. According to experts from the Shaanxi Museum, Hejia Village, located in the northern suburbs of Xi'an City, was originally a small village with no name, but after 1970, it became one of the most famous places in Xi'an. On October 5 of that year, a construction site in Hejia Village was under construction, but it turned out that a "treasure house" was inadvertently opened...
In fact, it is not too much to call it a "treasure house", because when the workers dug the foundation, they dug out two large pottery urns, which were more than half a person tall, and they were filled with various gold cups and silver bowls and jade treasures, which was amazing. Later, the museum's experts received feedback from the workers and drove to the Hejia Village construction site for the first time.
The experts were also shocked, and they took out the utensils in the pottery urn to study, and based on its production process, as well as some seal inscriptions, they deduced that it was a cellar buried during the Dezong period of the Tang Dynasty. Later, experts transported the pottery urn back to the museum, and after a few days of sorting, there were more than 1,000 cultural relics, and most of them were royal utensils, such as the animal head agate cup, the gilded dancing horsebit cup pattern imitation leather bag silver pot, and the Mandarin duck lotus petal gold bowl and a series of precious cultural relics.
In addition, experts have also cleared out a variety of extremely rare ancient coins at the bottom of the urn. For example, the "Gaochang Jili" coin, which was the currency of Gaochangguo, a small state in the western region of the Tang Dynasty, was later destroyed by the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the "Gaochang Jili" money was treated as a trophy and was brought back to the Central Plains by some soldiers. In addition, there are two Western currency coins, one is the gold coin of the Roman Empire and the other is the silver coin of the Persian Dynasty, which experts speculate may have been introduced through the Silk Road.
However, the surprise in the pottery urn did not end here, experts later in another pottery urn, cleaned out 30 pure gold Kaiyuan Tongbao, and this is also the first time to find the gold Kaiyuan Tongbao, in the future is enough to record the history of ancient Chinese coins. However, just when experts were immersed in the joy of discovering the "Golden Treasure", they immediately found two ancient coins that were rare in history - the Six Baht tai goods and the wrong version of the coin.
According to historical records, the Taishang Six Baht is the currency minted by the Southern Dynasty Emperor Chen Yan, which not only uses the highest quality copper, but also the four words "Taishang Six Baht" on the front, which is also extremely beautiful and regular. But unfortunately, the six baht of the goods later depreciated sharply, becoming an unpopular rotten money. At the same time, after the death of Chen Hao, it was Lord Chen Hou who succeeded him, and he became the king of the subjugated country because of his absurd and chaotic government, so people regarded the "six" on the six baht of tai goods as a person crying at the waist, so there was a saying of "six baht money of tai goods, pinching the waist and crying the son of heaven".
As for the "wrong version of money", as the name suggests, it is a printed version of money, and it is also a nice name, called back money. The wrong version of the money found by experts in the pottery urn is "Kaiyuan Hebei", that is, the two sides of a copper coin are printed with the words "Kaiyuan Tongbao". Normally speaking, all coins from ancient times to the present have only one side of the rich text, that is, what is the treasure, and the back is blank. In fact, the wrong version of money has been in all dynasties and dynasties, although the amount is not small, but the wrong version of money in the Kaiyuan year is only this case.
Generally speaking, most of the reasons for the wrong version of money are that the craftsman puts the wrong money version, puts the two money versions together, and then when it is poured, it becomes a money text on both sides. However, what puzzled the experts was that the wrong version of the money was not destroyed and reforged, but was collected. Therefore, after research and discussion, experts speculate that the "Kaiyuan Hebei" money may be deliberately minted, so if it is deliberately minted, what is the reason? Is it custom? Is it divination? Or is it a sacrifice? The experts are puzzled...
In any case, the various ancient coins in the cellar of Hejia Village open a new window for experts to study ancient coins, and for those mysteries that have not yet been solved, Xiaobian is also convinced that in the near future, experts will be able to give a reasonable explanation. Finally, if you have any insights into these rare ancient coins, you are also welcome to leave a message to discuss and communicate.
