Map of the Territory of the Liao Dynasty
In 907, Liao Taizu Yelü Abaoji became the Khitan Khan, and in 916 he was founded with the name "Khitan", and the capital was set at LinhuangFu (present-day BalinZuoqi, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia). In 947, Emperor Taizong of Liao led an army south to the Central Plains, captured Fenjing (汴京, in modern Kaifeng, Henan), and ascended the throne as emperor in Fenjing, changing the name of the country to "Da Liao" and the era name of "Datong". In 983, it was renamed the Great Khitan (大 Khitan). In 1007, Emperor Shengzong of Liao moved the capital to Dadingfu (中京大定府) (present-day Ningcheng County, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia). In 1066, the Liao Daoist Emperor Yelü Hongji restored the name "Great Liao". It was destroyed by the Jin Dynasty in 1125.
During the liao dynasty, its territory stretched from the Sea of Japan in the east, the Altai Mountains in the west, the Erguna River and the Waixing'an Mountains in the north, and the Baigou River in the south.
Most of the coins of the Liao Dynasty are mainly year number coins, and a total of 21 kinds are currently recorded. The Liao Dynasty was different from the currency flood of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the coin minting has always been small, so there is not much in existence, and the price is relatively stable. The form of Liao money is mostly made with reference to the coins of the former dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty. Liao qian is most often known to Quanyou is "Liao Shang Eight Pin" and "Liao Xia Eight Pin", respectively, refers to eight kinds of coins, we talk about it twice, today first talk about the remaining five pins, are treasures.
Pass spring goods. The early Liao qian, not the year number money, the text is Lishu, was cast in the era of the Liao Taizu Abaoji (916-926) or before and after. At present, only one kind of Xiaoping is seen, and the production is not exquisite. Most of them are light-backed, and it is extremely rare to have a back-moon.
Only small flat money was found, mostly light back, and the transaction price many years ago was already in the tens of thousands
Divine Book. The first kind of year-name coin minted by Apaoji when he was proclaimed emperor in 916 AD was only seen in two pieces, and some people called it the first zhen of the Great Liao, but at present it is not the least number of Liao coins unearthed. At present, the divine book Tongbao found is a small flat money, and the face text "Divine Book Tongbao" is written in a rotating reading and back.
The Divine Book is a treasure that is extremely rare
Together with Tongbao. It was first cast in the first year of the reign of Emperor Taizong of Liao, in 938 AD. This era name was used until 947 AD, when Yelü Deguang changed the name to Datong. Regarding the Huitong coins, there is no record in the History of Liao and other ancient books, as well as in previous coinlogies. However, one was found in Liaoning in 1989, and only one is currently available.
There is currently only one of them
Heaven is full of harmony. In 1977, a silver coin with 4 large Khitan characters minted on the obverse was unearthed at the Liaoshangjing site. In the early 1990s, a gold coin was unearthed in the Keshketeng Banner of Inner Mongolia and the four characters of the silver coin are homomorphic, but the order of the words worn under and left is reversed. In addition, the Khitan characters on the three copper coins that have been originally yi and only remain rubbings also belong to the same type of coinage. The coin is the earliest coin found in China to date that uses minority script as a numismatic coin. It is speculated that it was probably cast around the time of the Liao Dynasty and the first year (983 AD).
There are several forms of money, all of which are extremely rare, and liao money is very precious
This product is silver with a negative inscription on the back
Gyeongbot Tongbao. During the reign of Emperor Yelüzong of Liaoxing (1013-1032), it was cast rarely. The face text "Jingfu Tongbao" is written in a spin-reading, bare back. In the early years, it was also a Liaoqian Dazhen, and in recent years, several pieces have been discovered, and the number of surviving pieces is still very small.
In recent years, there have been new excavations, but the number of extant remains is still very small
The above items are all Liaoqian treasures, the amount of existence is very small, rare in the auction circle, but once the transaction price is in the hundreds of thousands or even higher. There are many imitations on the market, no collection value, I hope that Quanyou will buy cautiously.
