Tianju, as the era name, Tianju is the second era name of Jin Xizong. Jin Xizong used the era name Tianju for a total of three years (1138---1141 AD). In 1137, the 15th year of the Tianhui, Emperor Xizong of Jin ordered the next year (1138) of the lunar calendar to be the first year of the Tianju. This era name lasted until 1141, the first lunar month of the deceitful day (February 21 of the solar calendar), the Jin Hee-tsung "Xie Tai Temple." amnesty. Changed to Yuan Imperial Unification. (History of Jin)
Jin Xizong minted and issued Tianju coins during the Tianju years. It was only in modern times that these coins were discovered. It was too late. Like the Tianhui coin, the Tianju coin has not been recorded in the pre-Xinhai Revolution texts and numismatic works. The earliest domestic account of the Jin Dynasty's heavenly family money is found in the 1992 book "Numismatic Appreciation" by Mr. Sun Zhonghui of the modern Quanjia family, accompanied by a frontal drawing with a pencil. Until this century, Mr. Hua Guangpu's "Collection of Ancient Chinese Money" only had this pin tianju tongbao coin, and it was also this pencil drawing that was used.
In the past two decades, the domestic coin collection boom has risen again, and many unheard of foreign precious springs have appeared one after another, which has confused newcomers. As far as the authenticity of the heavenly money is concerned, there is no doubt this morning, and there is a definite conclusion in the Spring Realm. At present, as we know, we have successively discovered three kinds of "Tianju Yuanbao" Xiaoping Seal Book, "Tianju Tongbao" Folding Two True Books, and "Heavenly Dependent Treasures" Folding Three True Books. Its quantity is roughly 2 Yuanbao Xiaoping Coins, 22 Tongbao Folds, and 31 Heavy Treasure Folds. Judging from the name of the coin, the size of the shape system and the weight of the coin, this should be a series of sets of money, which is in line with the third-class currency system of "son and mother".

Since the spring auction in 2007, the four words "Tianju Yuanbao" have become one of the resounding names in the spring world. On May 24, a piece of Jin Dynasty Tianju Yuanbao Xiaoping Coin set a new world record for ancient Chinese coin auctions with a transaction price of 1.344 million yuan, and became the only ancient coin auction that exceeded one million yuan at that time. Shocking an ancient coin market at the time, it once again proved its status.
When the coin collection reaches a certain size, careful people will write down their age, title, size, weight, source, purchase price, good quality and storage location. The rare items are made into rubbings or taken into color photos, and another volume is put for viewing and appreciation.
According to reports, this Tianju Yuanbao has a diameter of about 2.45 cm and a weight of about 4.3 grams. Judging from the money calligraphy, its casting body is very regular, square and round, flat and flat, the character outline is deep, the lines are clear, and it can be argued at a glance that it is the work of The Xizong official furnace. Its seal book is beautiful in meaning and coordinated in layout, highlighting the characteristics of the Golden Dynasty coinage and american book system. Its shape is consistent with the copper product, when it can be mutually corroborated. For the Gold Dynasty to cast money, it has the exemplary role of inheriting the past and enlightening the future. It is also the earliest coinage of the Jin Dynasty that has been found so far, which is of great historical research significance!
