In the first year of the Ming Dynasty (1621), Zhu Youxiao began to mint his own year number money, that is, the Tianqi Tongbao, after re-minting his father's year number "Taichang Tongbao". The "Apocalypse Tongbao" was first minted as a small flat coin, and the apocalypse began to be minted as ten large coins in July of the second year of the Apocalypse. In October of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, due to the excessive and inferior amount of money minted by officials and private individuals, it was ordered to stop minting, and the imperial court issued silver and recycled as ten coins, and the minting period of the big money was only three years.
Apocalypse xiaoping money, divided into two categories of light back and back words, the back is cast with stars and moon patterns, the back has a word points, memories, records, records and so on. Apocalypse Tongbao Xiaoping money not only has many back words, but also others such as word size, text level, round guo width and narrowness, and the structure of the money text is also very different, very complex and changeable. The Ten Dollars of the Apocalypse Tongbao are also divided into two categories: light back and back, and most of the folded two coins are backless, and there are few surviving.
Many coin collectors only know that there is a Ming Dynasty "Apocalypse Tongbao" money, but it is not clear that the Yuan Dynasty also had "Apocalypse Tongbao" money.
In the eleventh year of the Yuan Dynasty, Xu Shouhui rebelled, captured Pushui, established a political power, and the name of the country was Tianquan and the year was Zhiping. In 1356, Xu Shouhui moved the capital to Hanyang (present-day Wuhan), in 1358, changed the year name to Tianqi, cast "Tianqi Tongbao" money, there are Xiaoping, fold two, fold three, face text, the body of the book is correct, because the Apocalypse as the era number of the time is very short, not much money minted, less preserved, is one of the rare honorary goods. In order to distinguish between these two kinds of "apocalypse treasures", the numismatic community refers to them as Xu Tianqi and Tomorrow Qi respectively.
