The First Work to Uncover the Secret of Coins Minted by Secret Anti-Qing Societies at the End of the Qing Dynasty

Review on the Study on Coins Minted by Secret Anti-Qing Societies at the end of the Qing Dynasty Zhou Bian〔Shanghai〕

Guan Yuehui and Zhao Houzhen co-authored the Study on Coins Minted by Secret Anti-Qing Societies at the end of the Qing Dynasty (ISBN: ISBN978-7-5478-4139-6/G.824), and the first edition was published by Shanghai Science and Technology Press in October 2018. The 121-page hardcover book, 787mm x 1,092mm, is about 180,000 characters in length and costs 158 RMB in China. Before the first Opium War, the Heaven and Earth Society [Chinese: Tian Di Hui] and the Ge Lao Hui, also know as the Hatchet Gang, were generally known as secret societies. After the head of the Revive China Society [Chinese: Xing Zhong Hui] met the head of the Tian Di Hui at the end of the Qing dynasty, they decided to use the term Secret Anti-Qing Society as the name of the organizations which aimed to overthrow the Qing dynasty and restore the Ming dynasty. These secret societies began to rebel nationwide under the influence of the Taiping Rebellion. Some large-scale societies made a great influence, including Xiao Dao Hui, or Small Swords Society

(a sub-branch of Tian Di Hui from Shanghai), in addition to smaller groups such as the Da Cheng Guo, Yan Ling Guo, Da Hong Guo, Sheng Ping Tian Guo, and Hua Qi Jun from Guangdong and Guangxi provinces, Tian Di Hui and Jin Qian Hui of Zhejiang, Bai Hao Jun of Guizhou. All of these secret anti-Qing societies started minting coins after their successful rebellion. However, there has been no in-depth study on the identification and appraisal of these coins due to their dispersed locations, short duration of mintage, rarity, and lack of historical records.

appreciating, identifying, and studying coins of this kind. Most coins are from the collection of famous numismatists, and this book is the first time for some of these coins to be photographed and seen by the public. Therefore, it is a rare reference book about the study in this field.

The book by Guan Yuehui and Zhao Houzhen is the first book to make a systematic and specialized study on the coins minted by secret anti-Qing societies and is based on their years of experience studying these coins. It makes a introduction to the coins minted by the Xiao Dao Hui in Shanghai, the Tian Di Hui and the Jin Qian Hui of Zhejiang, the Da Cheng Guo of Guangxi, the San He Hui of Guangdong, and the Bai Hao Jun of Guizhou. It also covers the history of these societies, with abundant historical materials. All coins involved in the book are extremely rare, and some are accompanied by high-resolution photos. These coins fall into one of ten groups according to their rarity, and each group has two sub-groups. The book also indicates the denomination, size, version, composition, grade, price, and other information of these coins, and all these provide readers with a valuable reference for collecting,

The book makes a clear introduction to coins minted by secret anti-Qing societies at the end of the Qing dynasty, which helps us to appreciate these coins. Readers can feel the difficulty the writers faced during the process of writing. It is a special field for collectors to collect coins minted by secret anti-Qing societies. The two writers chose to build such a collection and make relevant studies opening a new area for collecting. It is believed that their study results will be helpful to readers.

Numismatics Newsletter

It was a great pleasure to be working with the National Numismatic Collection at the Smithsonian National Museum of History in Washington. With an annual attendance of over 4 million visitors, it is one of the most visited museums in the Smithsonian Institute. NNC has over 2 million objects in its collection, and it likely holds the most important numismatic in the world. Working with NMAH director John Grey and NNC curator Ellen Feingold the past 3 years, we help set up the Howard Franklin Bowker research room. A select group coin from the Howard Bowker East Asian collection was donated and put on display in the Gallery of Money exhibit. With the Bowker Family Endowment, we funded 5 projects at the museum which includes digitization and removal of wax of numismatic objects from the NNC collection, the Catalog and digitization of the Chinese banknotes collection, the restoration of extremely rare numismatic books which includes United States Mint Reports , and now the upcoming Big Money exhibit focused on numismatic education for young people. With the Bowker family, we look forward to the Opening of the Big Money exhibit this Fall, which should be a highlight of the new exhibits and will be on display for a minimum of 5 years on the first floor of the museum.

World-Class Collection of Chinese Banknotes Available Online Smithsonian National Museum of history

Thanks to support from Friend of the NNC Michael Chou, 5,810 Chinese banknotes have been cataloged, digitized and made accessible to scholars, researchers and visitors around the world. Inspired by the advice of East Asian numismatist Howard F. Bowker, NNC curators Vladimir and Elvira ClainStefanelli collected more than 4,500 Chinese paper notes and banking documents from the late Alexander Pogrebetsky in 1969. Through the Chinese Banknote Project, these objects and many others are now accessible across multiple Smithsonian digital platforms for research by the public.

undergraduate students to build language skills. Students of East Asian studies from the George Washington University, Georgetown University and the University of California San Diego are participating in the transcription of these banknotes.

About NNC China Banknote Digitalization Project In addition, the project covers some banknotes from Bowker collection.

The Chinese banknote project was a project that started in 2018 by Emily Seigerman and NNC and completed in August 2019, with a presentation in Kyoto of 2019 Icom: Bank and Money Museum Conference.

Bowker family and Michael Chou have made a great support to the project. On May 13th, 2017, Gordon Bower, Marilyn Dorman, Carolyn Bower, and Michael Chou attended the donation ceremony at NNC.

NNC has completed the cataloging and digital imaging of 5,810 Chinese banknotes—the total collection of Chinese notes and related financial documents, and over 4,500 of them are from Alexander Pogrebetsky.

About Alexander Pogrebetsky Alexander Iliych Pogrebetsky was a Russian economist a n d f i n a n c ie r by t r a i n i n g. Through his work and travels, Pogrebetsky was able to create a n i m p or t a nt c ol le c t ion of Chinese and Asian banknotes and coins. He also wrote many books and articles in economics and finance. Since the Far East Republic was merged into Soviet Russia in November 1921, Pogrebetsky Alexander Iliych left for Harbin China to serve Pogrebetsky on the board of directors of the Chinese Eastern Railway. While on duty, he was in charge of the company's finance and accounting departments. It was during this period that the peak of his writing occurred. He wrote three books and more than 20 articles in 10 years.

Currency and Finance of China

In the 1960s and 1970s, part of Pogrebetsky’s collection was g iven to t he Sm it hson ia n's Nat ional Nu m ismat ic Collection (NNC) by his family, totally more than 4,500 Chinese paper notes and banking documents and including many unique sample prints. The rest of his collection was auctioned respectively in May and December 2015 at Archives International Auctions.

In 1924, Pogrebetsky wrote Money and Banknotes of the Far East during the Period of War and Revolution (1914-1924), which became one of the first reference books on Chinese banknotes and coins by a Westerner, currently valued at 40,000 to 50,000 rubles.

The Alexander I. Pogrebetsky family archives ( par t 1) consisted mostly of Chinese and Asian banknotes, including many extremely scarce examples that rarely come up for bid at auction. The collection has remained untouched since it was put together by Pogrebetsky between 1916 and 1949, prior to his immigration to Israel, and was then kept by his family, intact, over 60 years.

In 1929, Pogrebetsky wrote Currency and Finance of China. It is an important document for studying modern Chinese currency and finance, currently valued at 35,000-40,000 rubles.

“ROOM OF GOLD” Josiah K. Lilly Jr.

Smithsonian National Museum of history

The arrival of the Josiah K. Lilly Jr. Collection of gold coins 52 years ago in 1968 was a landmark moment in the history of the National Numismatic Collection. On November 13, 2019, Friends of the NNC gathered at the Museum to see the magnificent collection reassembled to recreate a “Room of Gold.” This awe-inspiring collection of 6,125 gold coins, cited by many as the inspiration for building their own collections, is now accessible online at https://s.si.edu/lillycollection. Between October 2019 and February 2020, the entire Lilly Collection as well as the collections of Paul A. Straub and Grand Duke Georgii Mikhailovich were part of a mass coin digitization project that created digital records and high-resolution images for more than 25,000 coins. It is the NNC’s largest coin digitization effort to date, with more records going online daily. We are deeply indebted to the Friends of the NNC, whose support created the readiness and momentum for this digitization project to be funded through the Smithsonian’s Digitization Program Office. We enjoyed sharing the collection with our Friends during this special opportunity!

Chinese Show Panda Catalogue Journal of East Asian Numismatics

January 31 - February 2 2020 Impressions

Berlin World Money Fair Panda 2020 Künker Auction Magnico.cn

This year's World Money Fair in Berlin was again a great success! In the following article I would like to present you my impressions of the fair on the points mentioned above. The distribution of the new Show Panda Catalogue in a softcover from the editorial staff of the Journal of East Asian Numismatics was handled by the Künker auction house. Also, at the Künker booth, which was decorated with an eye-catching glossy advertisement and the image of a real panda, the 2020 edition of Berlin pandas was available for purchase. With a little luck, sometimes the Gilded-Panda special issue 2020 "Chinese Show Panda Catalogue Berlin Release" was sometimes given as a gift (Mintage: 1,000 pieces; Copper gilded; 40mm; OMP). The panda medal exists additionally as a 30-gram silver version with a very small mintage of only 100 pieces. The gilded version will be available in China for around 50 Euros, while the silver version is an exclusive present and will hardly find its way into the collector's market.

charming about the new medal is the depicted very cute motif of the rare first Show Panda medal from 1984 (3rd Hong Kong Coin Exposition; Mintage: 1,000 pieces; Market value: 1,000 Euro in NGC PFUC 69). The Chinese Show Panda Catalogue celebrated its release on January 31, 2020 after a 5-year development period at the World Money Fair Berlin. The presentation and distribution took place punctually at 10:00 am at the Künker booth. The release price for the catalogue was 15 Euro. Those who bought the 1-ounce silver version of the Berlin Panda for 89 Euros could purchase the catalogue for 10 Euros extra in a set for 99 Euros at a reduced price.

The gilded version was distributed in Berlin as NGC "GemProof" (evaluation between PFUC65 and PFUC70) at the Coin of the Year Award Ceremony. On Sunday, at the booth of Journal of East Asian Numismatics , children present who wanted to fill their coin pass with a coin from Macau also received an NGC-Slab with the coveted special panda issue handed out by Michael Chou (CEO of Champion Auction). The joy about the gift was of course huge and the surprise about the value in retrospect makes the medal disappear from the market as a small investment for the future. At the first official Facebook group meeting organized by NGC International GmbH, Michael Chou presented us with several gilded "Chinese Show Panda Catalogue Berlin Release" medals in the special NGC Slab with the "Gem-Proof" grade and a hardcover edition of the catalogue for a prize draw.

The number of catalogues available was reduced to well under 100 examples due to a transport damage. This was probably caused by water damage, as some catalogues still had a bulge in the lower part. A reprint is not planned, so only a few catalogues for Europe remain. Only one single catalogue has been offered in free trade up to now for a proud 90 Euros.

A TOTAL OF FOUR DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF THE CATALOGUE EXIST

Proof Reader Edition (Softcover, 11/2019) European Edition (Softcover, 2020)

Chinese Edition (Hardcover with Paper Envelope, Gold Lettering and Cloth Binding, 2020)

Premium Edition (Hardcover with Slipcase, Gold Lettering and Cloth Binding, 2020)

The Premium Edition was awarded to personalities with a leading role regarding the catalogue. These included Mr. Albert Beck (Managing Director of the World Money Fair), who received a premium catalogue from Michael Chou (Editor-inChief of the Journal of East Asian Numismatics) during the Coin of the Year Award Ceremony.

The 8-gram silver version of the Berlin Panda with a fantastic hologram effect was available at the Künker booth for 39 Euros, while the 1-ounce silver issue with the two illustrated panda babies from the Berlin Zoo cost 89 Euros. The two issues were each reduced to 500 pieces. The Berlin Show Panda 2021 could become even rarer next year.

The response to the new Show Panda Catalogue has been consistently positive. The magnificent pictures, current market prices and the many background stories make the catalogue extremely exciting. A dealer I know leafed through the catalogue with big and joyful eyes and simply said that this is by far the best he has ever seen on the subject and the issue price for such a standard work is usually around 80 Euros.

In addition, there are also the following variants, which were however strongly limited in the mintage figures:

50 Gram Gold Berlin Panda 2020 (Design of the 1 Oz AG Version)

Since the publication of the catalogue, an upswing in Show Panda medals has already been observed on auction platforms, as new collectors from China will push onto the market. Finally, the topic is becoming more exciting again, because of the decreasing flood of issues of panda medals in inferior quality. In the future, collectors will again focus more on highquality releases. Official Show Panda issues should moreover be preferred, as the successful medals from the 1980s and 1990s already exemplify.

31 Gram Gold Berlin Panda 2020 (Design of the 1 Oz AG Version) 50 Gram Fine Silver Berlin Panda 2020 (Design of the 1 Oz AG Version, 300 Pieces) 16 Gram Fine Silver Piedfort Berlin Panda 2020 (Design of the 8 Gram AG Version, 100 Pieces)

The catalogue's issue price of 10 respectively 15 Euros just covered the transport costs from abroad. The development and production costs for such a catalogue are often well into the five-digit range. The objective was to preserve and attract new collectors for the special area.

The 1-ounce silver issue of the Berlin Panda fetched a price of 159 Euro on eBay on February 12th, 2020. The special edition of the gilded version of the "Chinese Show Panda Catalogue Berlin Release" Medal is offered only very rarely and even reached an auction price of 223 Euros. The 8-gram silver panda still has a small cute detail, the depicted panda head has two different eye colors. By mistake the left eye was minted "Mirrored" and the right eye "Frosted". Gold & Silver (50g, 1oz )

At the booth of the Journal of East Asian Numismatics some desirable items could be discovered in the showcase. Among other things, the latest volume of the Journal of East Asian Numismatics (Issue #17) and the corresponding 25th Anniversary Medal 1994-2019 were on display in an NGC-Slab (Mintage: 1,000 pieces; Silver-Plated Copper; 30mm; 2019). In addition, the Show Panda Catalogue could be admired in hardcover with the matching Show Panda Catalogue Berlin Release Medal in gold-plated copper (NGC-Slab) and in silver with the Original Mint Packaging.

Silver (16g, 8g)

Furthermore, the latest publications of Magnico.cn were presented. These were the Space Panda (Mintage: 2,000 pieces; 5$ Cook Island; 45 Grams 90% Fine Silver in a combined alloy with 10% Titanium; 40mm; Ultra High Relief, 2019), the Nano Panda (Mintage: 1,000 pieces; 1,000 Shillings Tanzania; 1 Oz Fine Silver; 40mm; 2019) and the second release of the Polymer Panda "Ball" (Mintage: 1,000 pieces; 1,000 Shillings Tanzania; 1 Oz Fine Silver; 40mm; 2019).

ModernCoinMart secured the design rights for the 50-gram versions and will be offered in its own online shop. The other very rare variants serve as gifts and represent a longing dream of every enthusiastic collector of panda medals. Unfortunately, even I do not own any of the above-mentioned variants and therefore cannot provide you with any pictures.

If

investors seek tangible assets. Gold has performed strongly overall in the last several months and many predict further flights of capital to this safe haven. Other precious metals could finally see renewed interest. Usually, some percentage of these buyers become interested in numismatics.

you are like most Americans the last few weeks, you have been consumed by media coverage of coronavirus. The slow drip of bad news accelerated last week when the stock market plunged on fears of shut downs and deep economic damage. Anyone with a retirement account is now trying to figure out how to react. For most of us, doing nothing is probably the best course of action. Mark Cuban stated this week “when you don’t know what to do, do nothing”. In general selling during or after a market crash is not a good idea.

One of my most important jobs as a professional numismatist is to know exactly what coins are worth at any given moment. I am asked to make purchase offers or make major purchase decisions almost daily. Financial uncertainty such as has occurred in the last couple of weeks makes this a more difficult task.

One thing for sure however, is that I am not an economist or Wall Street trader. I can give excellent numismatic advice, but my investing advice is strictly based on personal experience. My basic view on investing has always been to think long term and not be swayed by short term news events. By the time most of the general population (this includes me) hears news, the highly skilled professionals have already made their moves.

For now I am cautiously optimistic. When I am offered great coins, I plan to take advantage of the opportunity. I believe the market for attractive coins with good eye-appeal will continue to be solid. My personal plan is to cull my inventory and reposition my assets into great coins when they become available at favorable prices. Collectors can also take advantage of this opportunity to improve their collections for a better long term result.

Most major news events of the last several years had little or no impact on the numismatic market. This time is definitely different for several reasons. The spread of coronavirus and the fear associated with it, will have an impact on anyone trying to conduct business. A major numismatic coin convention was cancelled last week in Munich. Many dealers from around the world had already traveled to Germany for the show.

Nearly every great financial genius of the last century has encouraged investors to take advantage of market panics. Warren Buffet has dozens of famous quotes about buying assets when there is blood in the streets. Hopefully, the current situation will not get that bad, but the same basic advice holdsbuys when others panic.

A lot of dealers in the United States are now making other plans as the anxiously awaited Baltimore and Central States Conventions have now been canceled.

Rare coin prices for many popular issues were already at their lowest levels in years before the current “black swan” event transpired. Proof type coins, High Relief double eagles, silver dollars, commemorative coins, generic gold and a host other issues are selling for less than they were thirty years ago. Many world coins, including Chinese issues have also fallen considerably in the last few year.

Stacks Bowers has a major auction planned for next week, including an amazing group of coins from the collection of Brent Pogue. In April Heritage was hoping to conduct the Central States Numismatic Association auction in Schaumburg, Illinois. The two sales probably contain over $50,000,000 worth of coins. With the conventions canceled, the auction companies are now planning to hold the sales near their headquarters. The results of these sales will have economic consequences for the companies, consignors and potential buyers.

The downside for most of these issues is minimal at this point. It is an excellent time to assemble an attractive collection of rare coins. Despite the uncertainty that prevails because of coronavirus, one thing is certain- this will eventually pass into history. Collectors should exercise patience when considering sales, and capitalize on this opportunity if they have a chance to buy great coins. In the long term I am optimistic about the World economy, and the hobby of numismatics. Thinking long term has always been the secret to the success of most great investors I have known. (Courtesy of Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC). NGCcoin.hk )

The deep plunge in equity prices will undoubtedly cause a negative wealth effect for a large swath of the population and numismatic buyers. Even though the global stock market is not a lot lower than it was 12 months ago, many potential buyers will probably curb spending on everything in the short term. This negative sentiment will probably spill over into our hobby. There are however some silver linings to these recent events. In the past, when financial uncertainty enters the picture, many

A Study on the Hidden Marks on the Mexican 8 Reales [Eagle Dollar] Minted from 1848 to 1849 Jin Ming〔Anhui〕

A BS

CT

TR A

From 1848 to 1849, the fluctuating political situation in Mexico lead to social chaos. A number of counterfeit coins appeared on the market. In response to this situation, the Durango Mint hid some letters in the design. This paper aims to make an exploration of these marks.

The Durango Mint, Mexico

The Main Entrance of the Durango Mint in early times

The Durango Mint with the mintmark DO, was one of 14 mints engaged in the production of silver eagle dollars [8 reales] in the 1820s. Durango was under the jurisdiction of Nueva Vizcaya State when Spain colonized Mexico, and it was separated from Chihuahua State in 1823. Close to Mazatlan Port, Durango enjoys a superior geographic location, so it serves as a vital pivot for the economic corridor in northern Mexico. In 1563, Spanish explorer Francisco de Ibarra conquered what is now the Mexican state of Durango and named it after his hometown in the Basque Country, Spain. At that time, local people lived in Aeropuerto, a small town just across the river. Therefore, Durango means “water town” in Basque. Before 1810, Durango

silver was mined and transported to Mexico City to meet the demand for coin production there. On October 8, 1810, the government ordered a mint to be built in Durango. The state governor Don Bernardo appointed Don Felipe Lopez and famous merchant Don Manuel lglesias to take charge of minting. On May 22, 1824, the Durango government took over the mint and started to strike silver eagle dollars [8 reales] which featured a Mexican eagle devouring a rattlesnake, and it was one of three major mints engaged in minting this kind of coin. Starting from 1825, the mint produced an eagle dollar with an ornamental edge until June 30, 1895. During the 71 years from 1824 to 1895, a total of 14 assayers were

employed by the Durango Mint to assay ornamental edge eagle dollar, better known as the Cap and Rays dollar. From 1870 to 1873, the Durango Mint suspended the production of Cap and Rays 8 reales and minted the Balance Scale one peso. The mint has minted Cap & Rays dollars with several

eagle patterns; however, very few of these dollars minted in the early production appeared in China. From 1875 to 1895, many Mexican dollars were transported to the Far East for use in international trade, so most eagle dollars available in the domestic market were minted in this period.

In 1848, Carlos Stahlkuecht, the president of the Durango Mint, employed Ramon Mascarenas (RM) to be the assayer. Mascarenas worked at the mint from 1830 to early 1848. Clemente Moran (CM) served as the assayer of the mint from late 1848 to 1877. Since the time of Clemente Moran, the mint started to hide initial letters of assayers somewhere in the design to crack down on counterfeited coins.

The RM eagle dollar issued in early 1848 hid capital letters “B” and “G” in the radiant cap on the reverse. However, except the extremely fine ones the hidden mark is unclear on those that have circulated for a long time. Counterfeited coins resulted in the depreciation of silver dollars minted by the Durango Mint, so the government investigated, causing the original leaser, Carlos Stahlkuecht, to transfer the lease to Bernardo Georgy.

According the existing archives of the mint, the representative of the official investigation has a bad relationship with Georgy. In response to the challenge, Georgy decided to take more responsibility for the minting by hiding the capital letters “B” and “G” in the earth below wreath on the obverse as well as in the radiant cap between 10 o’clock and 1 o’clock on the reverse. Moreover, the capital letter “Y” is hidden in either the radiant cap at 7 o’clock on the reverse or in the right leg of the eagle on the obverse. However, the investigation representatives held that this was against regulations, which posed a direct influence on Georgy’s lease contract. Finally, Bernardo Georgy lost his lease to run the mint on June 6, 1849. His successor, Jose Maria Ramirez, who assumed the position of assayer in late 1849 and worked until 1852 designed another pattern of the eagle dollar [Cap & Rays 8 reales]. Therefore, there were two versions of the eagle dollar produced in 1849. Ramirez’s design first put the hidden mark “Y” in the radiant cap, but then later the mark disappeared from the design completely.

The Durango Mint had used hidden marks on the coins before 1848. Its eagle dollars dated 1830 to 1832 included a capital “B” on the right claw of the eagle that represented the assayer’s initial, and the letter might be the initial of the president M. Bras. De. Fer. I have collected a complete set of eagle dollars minted during this period. However, most of them are not in good condition due to their circulation. Only one of them, which was issued in 1831, has a clear initial “B” on the claw of the eagle. According to the photos of the 1848 Do-CM and 1849 DoCM, each of them has two to three varieties. As for 1848 DoCM, its hidden marks and the placing of the marks is diverse; as for the 1849 Do-CM, the patterns of the eagle and the snake are different. Through a long-term observation, it is found that the eagle dollars of the same version and date are still slightly different in detail, in particular the radiant cap on the reverse. All these are related to the minting equipment and technologies, and we need to make further study.

The 1848/7 D O -RM and 1848/7 Do-CM/RM are slightly different from the standard version. The date and the initials of the assayers were required to be included in the die, and the revision may leave traces on the die, which resulted in such differences. Pressing is a machine process. As people knew little about minting and the process at that time, the dies often cracked in the process of stamping. To lower the cost of minting, mints used to revise or overdate dies for later usage.

Review of the history From the 1830s to 1850s, Mexico suffered an unstable political situation. In 1834, Mexican President Santa Ana abolished the state legislature established in 1824, and repealed anticlerical legislation. In 1835, American migrants rebelled in Texas. On April 21, 1836, Santa Ana’s troops were annihilated in the Texas Revolution. In March 1837, America officially recognized Texas as an independent republic. In November 1838, the French navy attacked the fortress of San Juan de Ulua. In August, General Mariano Paredes rebelled in Mexico City. In autumn 1844, Paredes led the Conservative Party to make rebellion in Guadalajara. In March 1845, diplomatic relations between Mexico and America broke off. In the summer of 1845, American troops entered Texas; and on December 29, Texas was annexed to America. On May 13, 1846, America declared war against Mexico, and an anti-government rebellion took place in Guadalajara. In July, American troops entered New Mexico. In January 1847, Gomez Farias supported Mora's plan to sell all nonessential church property, and four months later, Puebla was occupied by American troops. On February 2, 1848, the Treaty of Guadalupe was signed. Mexico, who lost the war, had to cede to America Alta California and Santa Fe de Nuevo México, which covers an area of 2.4 million square kilometers, over half of the territory of Mexico at that time. The United States paid

$15 million to Mexico as compensation. Numerous military coups happened in Mexico from 1821 to 1850, and a total of 50 governments were established, 11 of which were led by General Santa Ana. Mexico government was in a depression, and numerous Caudillos emerged. Several civil wars for secession continued, and the government spent much of the time in chaos, the people living in coldness and with hunger. As Napoleon said, for war, we need three things - money, money, and more money. There is no denying that war needs money. There are numerous examples that a government issues money excessively during a war which results in the circulation of counterfeited money among the public.

Jin Ming, born in Wuhu City, Anhui Province, in 1956, worked as an orthopedic surgeon at Wuhu Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and retired in February 2016. He is a member of the China Numismatic Society and has engaged in collecting for over 40 years. He focuses on the study of machine-struck coins, and he has released 39 articles about his numismatic research results. His specialized collections include ancient Korean coins and Mexican eagle silver dollars. are for counterfeited coins minted according to the coins struck by the Durango Mint in that period. From ancient times to the present, the most fundamental motive for producing counterfeit money is nothing but profit. During the chaos in Mexico, counterfeiters started to counterfeit coins minted by almost half of the 14 mints. As for the design of these counterfeited coins, some have funny eagle and snake patterns, like a cartoon, and some use the wrong mint logo or assayers’ initials. Moreover, they were pressed weakly, their reeded edges are not sharp, and the weight is either light or heavy (some counterfeiters added lead to make it heavier). The counterfeited coins influenced the reputation and profit of mints, government fiscal and tax revenue, and the profit of chambers of commerce and the public. When the Caudillos carved up the country, the power of the central government was weakened. Against such a backdrop, it was diffficul to implement a particular policy, especially when foreign forces were fighting the country. In the chaos, counterfeited coins caused considerable trouble for those in power and the general public who used these eagle dollar coins.

Conclusion Wang Wei, the president of the China Financial Museum, mentioned in chapter 16 which was entitled ‘The Mexican Eagle Dollar and the Globalization of Money ’ of his Finance can Reverse History , though we no longer use silver coins, there is no denying that the Spanish dollar and Mexican eagle dollar [Cap & Rays 8 reales] have posed a material influence on finance in modern China. Westerners not only brought opium, war, and colonization but also destroyed the natural economy of the feudal Qing dynasty . Mexican eagle dollars and Yuan Shi-kai “fat man” dollars both played a unique role in the establishment of modern financial markets in China. The circulation of the Mexican eagle dollar compelled China to officially abolish the tael system and replace it with the dollar system. Now, the renminbi of China is the currency used by many countries to make settlement or as reserve currency. It is truly a great historical transition. The Mexican eagle dollar holds a special position in the financial history of modern China so we need to know more about it. Based on my own experience and understanding, I wrote the paper only to communicate with readers. Please feel free to comment.

Duan Wu

Dragon Boat of Festival and Related Chinese Numismatic Charms Zhou Bian〔Shanghai〕 The Duan Wu Festival( 端 午 ), or Dragon Boat Festival, is a traditional Chinese festival celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. It has many other alternative names such as the Summer Festival, Girl’s Festival, Mid-Day Festival, and Double Fifth Festival. Activities conducted on this day include eating rice dumplings, racing dragon boats, and drinking xionghuang wine, a special kind of rice wine that is believed to keep diseases and evil spirts away.

and xionghuang wine and burned herbs in dark corners in the house to kill pests and dispel bad smells. Driving the poisonous creatures away with the charms was deemed as magic. During the Warring States Period, Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet of the State of Chu, committed suicide by drowning himself in the Miluo River when the capital of Chu was captured. From this point, the customs of the festival turned from sacrifice to the commemoration of Qu Yuan.

The festival has many alternative names because it has a long history with many different stories about its origins. For instance, it is known as Dragon Boat Festival as it is said that primitive tribes raced dragon boats as a sacrificial ceremony on this day. Ancient Chinese people believed that yang qi , or positive energy, started to turn from prosperity to decline, and yin qi , or negative energy, came into being from the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. Also, pests began to appear, so the day was regarded to be the “worst month and worst day.” People used to hang a portrait of a Taoist master or a deity which was supposed to chase off demons, turn calamities into blessings, and remove bad fortune. In some regions, there was another custom to make charms with the pattern of five poisons (scorpion, centipede, toad, snake, and one other which varied in different periods). People also sprayed lime

The hua qian , or numismatic charm, has a similar shape to ancient Chinese coins, but it was not issued for circulation but for some other reason. It is also known as ya sheng qian ( 厭 勝 錢 ), which means a coin for defeating evil. Hua qian was used for decorations, gifts, divination, kailu (opening the furnace) ceremony, and appreciation, with the themes of blessing, exorcism, and commemoration. There were also some numismatic charms for the Dragon Boat [Duan Wu] Festival. For example, figure 1 and 2 are inscribed with “ 五 月 五 日 午 時 ” (high noon of the fifth day of the fifth lunar month) and “ 五 日 午 時 ” (high noon of the fifty day) on the obverse, and the reverse features the Taoist runes or five poisonous creatures. Ancient Chinese people believed that such charms could drive away evil spirits. According to the fifth volume of Qing Jia Lu by Gu Lu from the Qing dynasty, “Xiao Rong numismatic

Tian Festival” (the Mid-Day Festival), and the Duan Wu Festival may be simplified or have evolved from the Zhong Tian Festival. Ancient Chinese held that the metal utensils manufactured on this day with the highest positive energy would be imbued with the positive energy, which would endow these utensils with the magic power to defeat evil. According to the Chinese theory of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements, “the fifth day of the fifth lunar month” is the “the day and month of fire”, and the noon is also at the time of fire. As fire melts metals, it is a good day to melt metals to make utensils, and thus the numismatic charms struck on this day can drive away the evil.

charms are tied on one’s blouse or shirt to avoid evil.” The xiao rong numismatic charm mentioned above was believed to have the same function of driving away evil spirits as the fivepoison numismatic charm. “High noon of the fifth day of the fifth lunar month” refers to the particular month, day and time. According to the first Chinese dictionary compiled by Xu Sheng in the Eastern Han dynasty, “ 耑 ” (Duan ) refers to the beginning,and it is the ancient form of “ 端 ”(duan ). Another Chinese dictionary compiled by Wang Yun in the Qing dynasty indicates, “ 五 ” (wu ) and “ 午 ” are homonyms, and sometimes they are interchangeably used. Therefore, “ 端 午 ” corresponds to “ 耑 五 ”. According to the Record of the Year by Chen Yuanliang from the Southern Song dynasty, the fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the middle of a lunar year and the noon appears in the middle of the day. Hence, the day is also named “Zhong

Casilear Printing Specimen of 1-Yen National Bank Note Oley Kawani〔 Japan〕

The Stub

Printing Specimen of 1-Yen National Bank Note with an Undetached Stub, 1877, 74.00×156.00 mm PMG 53 (About Uncirculated "SPECIMEN") Star ting Price: 2,000,000 JPY .

New 1-Yen National Bank Note specimen given to Edoardo Chiossone (1833-1898) by Japan’s Printing Bureau in 1891 when he was retired from the Bureau where he had been hired by the Japanese government and worked to introduce modern printing technologies, designing and engraving the very 1-Yen National Bank note in 1877.

Historical Item Likely to Be the Only Existing Example of its Kind. The so-called “New 1-Yen National Bank note” (issued in 1877) is the very first banknote printed in Japan using the modern printing technologies introduced from the West.

The stubs were records which the Treasury kept when it handed printed notes to National Banks and the actual cutting of stubs was done by the Printing Bureau, an agency of the Treasury and the producer of the notes themselves. So National Bank notes with stubs undetached were never meant to go out of the Printing Bureau. The Bureau lost the most of its valuable historical relics in the two almost total disasters during the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923 and the WWII. As a result,

Unlike the Chiossone printing specimen, the Casilear printing specimen has the National Bank president’s and manager’s sample seals printed on it, making it unique and closer to the circulated note than the Chiossone’s. In addition, the Treasury

Detached stubs sometimes appear in the market. They are thought to be some of those stubs which were discarded and went outside probably after 1899 when the National Bank Notes went out of currency.

A French City’s Asian Coin Collectionv Bruno Collin〔France〕

commander-in-chief of Canton, was given the mission, by the [French] Government, to assemble a collection of ancient Chinese coins during his stay, which must today be given to the Imperial Library [now the National Library of France]. Accompanying the collection is a descriptive catalogue prepared by Admiral d’Aboville, of all the ancient coins of that empire. […] Having procured many doubles, Admiral d’Aboville has given several of them to Cherbourg’s Museum. Each coin is accompanied by a number that refers to the catalogue forwarded to the Imperial Library with the collection.”

We will be discussing the Asian coin collection of the city of Cherbourg, a port city located at the northern end of Normandy coast, France. This collection was brought to the attention of French nu mismatists when, in 1995, the Société Française de Numismatique (French Numismatic Society) held its annual convention in Cherbourg. It is traditional to publish a scientific catalogue of the public numismatic collections found in and around the city where the convention is held. It was none other than François Thierry [ 蒂 埃 裏 , dì āilǐ], curator of the Cabinet des Médailles de la Bibliothèque Nationale de France (the French State’s collection) and France’s utmost specialist on Asian coins, who published the catalogue of the Asian coins found in that city’s collection.

Having found this letter, François Thierry searched for the coin collection and its catalogue in the holdings of the National Library, without success. In fact, d’Aboville’s mission was given to him by the Minister of the Navy, on behalf of the Minister of Finance to benefit the collections of the Paris Mint.

Origin Although it may have similarities to the coin collections brought back by 19th-century travellers, missionaries, soldiers, and diplomats who had sojourned in the Orient, the origin of this collection is far from being commonplace: it was brought back—under orders—at the end of the 19th century by RearAdmiral d’Aboville.

To better situate these events in time, note that this was during the Second Opium War [ 第 二 次 鴉 片 戰 爭 , Dì'èrcì Yāpiàn Zhànzhēng] (1856-1860), which ended with the burning of the Summer Palaces in October 1860. So, then [Naval] Captain d’Aboville had received the order to assemble the collection from Vice-Admiral Rigault de Genouilly, commander-in-chief of the fleet in the China seas.

François Thierry found in the archives of the Cabinet des Médailles a letter that sheds light on how this collection was procured.

D’Aboville sent back to France five small chests (sadly only four were received) between 1859 and 1860; the first one having been put on L’Audacieuse that sailed from Macao to France in April 1859.

Dated October 2, 1861, the letter from the mayor of Cherbourg to the curator of the Cabinet states: “Rear-Admiral d’Abovillej,

The last counterfeit piece we would like to mention is a piece supposedly from Taiwan made of brass rather than the red copper used for the original pieces.

The collection’s movements, however, do not stop there. On January 14, 1863, an Imperial decree authorizes the Cabinet des Médailles de la Bibliothèque Nationale to take from the Currency Museum of the Paris Mint any coin that may be missing in the Cabinet’s collections.

Thierry pointed out that the counterfeit pieces were made long before Rear-Admiral d’Aboville acquired them, which, according to him, indicates that there were local coin collectors interested in scarce and rare coins.

Two hundred and fifty of the coins acquired by d’Aboville were thus transferred. The Paris Mint retaining only about 40 pieces that had, since their deposit in the collection, been deemed counterfeits of the Qin ding qian lu or fantasy pieces.

Finally, there are some 40 fantasy pieces in the collection, likely made for the curious and ill-informed collectors for the Occident. These are round or shaped like hoes and knives.

Content

Similar pieces, seemingly from the same molds, can be found in the Paris Mint’s collections. It has been determined that these counterfeit or fantasy pieces are based on the Qin ding qian lu, a numismatic publication dated from 1750 written by ten scholars and edited by Lian Shizheng.

The Cherbourg Museum’s collection (the doubles acquired by d’Aboville) consists essentially of coins in circulation in China in the 19th century as well as some older coins. These older coins had been purchased from Cantonese antique dealer or provided by Chinese interprets during visits of ancient sites.

These fantasy pieces were attributed to Fu Xi, Shen Nong, and Huangdi and to emperor Shao Hao, Zhuan Xu, Yao, and Shun. While the book was produced using the traditional wood engraving process, the images are quite different front any genuine piece, showing only a portion of the actual details; leading us to believe that the images were prepared by someone who had ignore the markings on the originals or that

The collection comprises 132 Chinese coins, 9 Vietnamese coins, 2 Japanese coins, 7 counterfeit Chinese coins, and 40 fantasy coins. The oldest Chinese coins (often broken or diminished) are from the Northern Song (960-1127) and Southern Song (11271279) dynasties. The more recent are from the Qing Dynasty from Shunzi Emperor (r. 1644-1661) to Xiafeng Emperor (r. 1850-1861).

the original were well-worn pieces. Thierry indicated that “these sovereigns and emperor are from Chinese lure and legends and that attributing coins to them is like attributing Roman coins to Remus and Romulus.”

There are very few from the Ming Dynasty, mainly due to that dynasty’s conservative approach to coinage. But there is a nice coin from Hong Wu tong bao (GQP II 37, p. 340), issued at the beginning of the Dynsdty (1368-1644) and whose reverse bears the value wu qian (5 qian).

There are also two Tenpo tsuho coins from the Tokugawa shogunate (1835) in Japan and nine Vietnamese coins (one from the Later Lê Dynasty [981-1010], three of the Nguyên Dynasty [1802-1945], and five Chinese copies).

Another interesting piece is a wuzhu (Ding 215a) from the period of the Three Kingdoms, more specifically from the Western Jin dating from the end of the 3rd to the beginning of the 4th century C.E. Thierry believes it to be relatively rare and of a scarce variety.

While the Cherbourg Museum’s Asian coin collection is not as important as the one assembled for the Paris Mint, it does ref lect what any 19th-century traveller to the Far East, and particularly to China, would bring home.

Among the counterfeit pieces, five interesting ones are from the Kangxi period, two of which are supposed to be from mints in Hunan and Yunnan (rare mints). However, their design is quite different than that of authentic pieces.

Although not a nu mismatic t reasu re, it does —li ke all numismatic item—reflect an interesting period in history.

Two other pieces imitate coins from the mints at Zhangzhou and Gu angz hou; however, i n an ef for t to create ra rer specimens, the counterfeiters added the character Xi, which is found of very special coins issued in 1713 to mark Emperor Shenzong’s 60th anniversary.

MacauDocument Chinan Fan / Wei-Yu Ho〔USA〕

Before we discuss the Macau document, we need to mention Cuba, the archipelago in the western hemisphere that lies on the same latitude, near the Tropic of Cancer (23.5°N), as Macau. The island of Cuba in the Caribbean Sea was inhabited by Amerindians when Columbus landed in the fifteenth century. Most anthropologists believe that the indigenous culture had some similarities to that of the Mayans of Mexico and Central America. Although Cuba became a Spanish colony, it did not appear to have many natural resources, so the Spanish did not pay much attention to it at that time. But, in the 17th century, a large increase in European immigrants to the New World during a period of intense competition for maritime superiority and the rising demand for cash crops resulted in a need for a large labor forces to work on the land. The slave system in the New World was born. The city of Havana became a location where British and Spanish traded and transferred slaves.

An American silver tea service set

The set in Greek revival style was made by Wood and Hughes in 1860. It includes a tea kettle, two teapots (right and left of the back row), a covered sugar container (front right), a creamer, and a waste bowl. It sits on a large tray which was made by Gorham. The set is similar to that of the famous Lincoln set purchased by Mary Todd Lincoln in New York City in 1860. Notice the large size of the sugar container, which is about the same size as the two tea pots.

La rge nu mbers of Af r ican slaves were broug ht to the Americas by Portuguese, Spanish, and English ships between 1500 and 1866 (when the last recorded illegal slave ship, the Clotilda, brought 110 slaves to the Americas). In all, Europeans took nearly 12.5 million slaves from Africa, but about two million died during the journey. Of the slaves that were brought to Cuba, the majority were sold at auction in the coastal city of Havana.

included large sugar containers.

Cane sugar from Cuba soon became the favorite of the upper class in the New World, and the use of slaves, steam engines, and handcars (railroad cars powered by people) transformed Cuba into the kingdom of sugar (the development of the sugar industry in Taiwan under the governance of the Japanese in 1930s saw the use of similar handcars). At this time, the majority of the slaves in Cuba were from Africa and a small number were South American Indians. Slaves made up the majority of the population in Cuba, and Havana also became a large city. More than one third of the world's sugar in the midnineteenth century was exported from Cuba.

Following the United States' independence in 1776, trade took off between the U.S. and Cuba. In order to satisfy the growing demand for sugar during the 1800s, Cuban plantations expanded along with the number of slaves. By the nineteenth century, the upper class of the New World had incorporated tea drinking into daily life. The slightly muddy taste of beet sugar could not compete with cane sugar. The use of cane sugar became a symbol of wealth and social status. This could be observed in the expensive silver tea sets of the time, which

Importation of Slaves." This was followed by the passage of a similar British statute in the same year. Therefore, it became illegal to bring slaves from West Africa to the New World after 1808. Although this did not stop the illegal slave trade, by 1830, the number of slaves entering the Americas was greatly reduced. The American Civil War finally ended the illegal slave trade. To look for laborers for the sugar plantations, the slave ships moved to Asia. Coolies were born (The word “coolie” has Cantonese origins and refers to those who did labor on the plantations after the end of slavery).

The figure shows a cargo ship in Hong Kong harbor around 1850. Most cargo ships at that time were wooden-hulled with steam engines.

In the Spanish colonies, following the passage of 1807’s “American Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves," Spain had abolished slavery in all its colonies in 1811. However, the laws were not enforced in Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the West Indies. It was not until the “Constitution of 1845" of Spain during the reign of Queen Isabella the 2nd (1830-1904) from 1843 to 1868 and the issuing of a Royal Decree in 1854 that the laws were enforced.

Off the coast of China, there are two small islands on the west side of the Pearl River Estuary, Taipa and Coloane. These two small islands were like "double doors" to the coast. Based on this, the Chinese named the place “Aomen,” translated as “bay gate.” Today, these two islands are connected. They became Chinese territories in the early Qin Dynasty (221-227 BC). At the end of Song Dynasty, when Genghis Khan invaded southern China, many people escaped to these islands, and a famous article written by Wen Tian-Xiang ( 文 天 祥 過 零 丁 洋 記 ) in 1278 spoke of this place. Because it is along the "southern silk road, " people on the islands had been dealing with foreigners since ancient times. But, for the most part, the islands were quiet, with small fishing villages. They were called “Macau" after the small temple of "Mazu," or the Hokkien deity( 客家語 馬祖 ) Lin Moniang( 林默娘 ), who was the goddess of the sea. The Portuguese rented Macau for 500 reals (the Portugese unit of currency during the Age of Exploration) in 1557. However, it was only officially included on a Portuguese map after 1887. In 1999, it was returned to China, marking the end of colonization in the region.

In Japan, the beginning of the Meiji era and the end of feudalism led to modernization. The seas were still under the control of the British in the west, but the abolition movement and the industrialization of the cotton industry, among other factors, led to the American Civil War (1861-1865).

The Coolie Imports from 1847 to 1874 to Cuba

The Duke of Wen Xin( 文 信 公 )was a Chinese poet and politician in the last years of Southern Song Dynasty. His famous articles included "Zheng Qi Ge,"( 正 氣 歌 )meaning “positive song,”and“Crossing the Ling-Ding Ocean” ( 過零丁 洋). His most famous lines were from the Chinese version of this article written in 1278.

The official records of the Cuban government f rom 1847 to 1874 show the direct relationship between sugar produc t ion and the numbers of impor ted A f r ican slaves and Coolies. The slave trade ended in 1866 and the coolie trade ended in 1874.

The Portuguese established a navigation school during China's Ming Dynasty in the sixteenth century to teach missionaries and businessmen about the Chinese language and culture. Gradually, Macau became the connection between China and the western world. Today, the islands are connected by land and make up the world's largest gambling center. The mid and late nineteenth century was a very eventful time in China. The first Opium war lasted from 1840 to 1842 and the second from 1856 to 1860. The country was ruled by the

end to such trade. Yet, there was still a high demand for labor, so the British and the Spanish slave ships moved to the socalled coolie market in Southern China to look for laborers for the sugar plantations in Cuba. Since transferring slaves by sea was illegal, a “contract worker” system was created. The workers were indentured laborers who were exploited and treated poorly. As early as 1830, a small number of indentured laborers from China entered Southeast Asia and the Americas through this system. But amid the social unrest of China due to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the mid-to-late 1800s (when China was controlled by the Xianfeng Emperor and the Empress Dowager Cixi), a great number of Chinese workers were sold from Macau to Cuba, Peru, and Southeast Asia between 1852 and 1874.

large number of suicides of Chinese workers resulted from the abuse and breaches of contracts by plantation owners. Along with the queen's decree, the Carlist Wars of Spain, Cuban Independence, and the Ten Years’ War, the coolie trade was legally prohibited in 1873. However,historical documents revealed that the trade continued beyond this. From 1868 to 1878, the Ten Years' War was fought Cuba. This was the first of a series of liberation wars fought by Cuba that ultimately ended with independence after the SpanishAmerican War in 1898. Cuban employers sent their workers out to fight for their own interests. After the Ten Years’ War, some coolies who fought obtained freedom and became citizens. After the war, the amount of sugar exported by Cuba was greatly reduced as well. After gaining freedom, some former coolies were eager to return to China, but because of the high travel expenses, most stayed in Cuba and continued to work in the fields.

According to the official records of Cuban government, at least 250,000 Chinese workers, mostly from coastal areas like Guangdong, Fujian, Hong Kong. and Taiwan, were sent to Cuba. About half of these workers were sent to the sugar plantations of Cuba. Less than ten thousand survived life on the plantations and obtained official residence. Laborers faced cruel living environments from the moment they boarded the ships. They were chained together and given very little water and food. At least ten to fifteen percent died during the 130day journey. After their arrival in Havana, they were auctioned off, much like African slaves were. The majority died on the plantations as a result of the dangerous work, mistreatment, poor living conditions, lack of food, and diseases such as malaria, dysentery, and influenza. Many were forced to work beyond the years in their contract.

At the end of 19th century, the Spanish-American War began, and Cuba gained independence and became a U.S. protectorate and the Philippines became a U.S. territory. There are still

Although first 800 Chinese arrived Cuba in 1847 to serve the booming sugar industry and 571 worked on the plantations, the issuing of the decree in 1854 prohibiting the import of slaves played a role of the increasing number of coolies after 1858. Many coolies were treated similarly to the African slaves. The situation became so concerning that the imperial China sent investigators to Cuba in 1873 to examine the circumstances. A

Macau Document (front and reverse side)

The Document number 37 was issued on March 13, 1855 and signed by the Macau Council General in China, Nicasio Canetey Moral, the coolie recruiting agent, Ignacio Fernandez de Castro, and the employer B.de Pereda.

The Coolie contract was stamped and signed in Macau. It placed a man named Lin-Sun, 18 years of age, on a coolie ship to Cuba, and subsequently into servitude for eight long years. According to the official record of Cuba, Chinese first arrived in large groups to Cuba in 1847. The first documents issued were the Macau documents. These were typically started in China but completed in Cuba. As a result, they are written in both Chinese and Spanish, with Chinese on one side and Spanish on the other. Most of these contracts were issued in the 1840s and 1850s and surviving documents are quite rare. The documents outline the rations the Chinese individual was to receive (food, clothing, etc.) and describes the medical treatment that might be allowed. Note that the pay was extremely low for the time and they were only given minimal rations. Although some Chinese arrived expecting to work as regular laborers, many were treated like slaves, far worse than the terms in the contract.

However, we know that, in reality, workers were often given little or no medical care, worked around the clock and while ill, and were given very little food, clothing, or necessities. Oftentimes, workers were not paid and they were forced to work beyond the years in their contract.

This rare document sheds some light on the coolie system. The document was purchased at auction. It includes six sheets, with a total of eight pages. The first sheet is printed on both sides and is an official contract. The first side is in Chinese and was done with hot lead typesetting. The back side was written in Spanish and included the signatures and seals of officials. The Chinese contract was dated February 15 of the fifth year of the reign of the Xianfeng Emperor. The worker was Lin-Sun, who was eighteen years old at the time and born in Songhua in Guangdong province. The agent who signed the contract and his employer are named. The contract stated that work would begin eight days after arrival in Havana and last for eight years. The type of work was up to the employer, according to Spanish Imperial Law signed on March 22, 1854. Those who required medical treatment should be treated until recovery, according to the contract. It also states that the salary should not be cut unless sick time lasted more than 15 days. Workers did not have to work on Sundays and during sick time. Workers would be given two meals a day including 8 ounces of salted meat and two and a half pounds of grains. The agent was supposed to give 8 yuan to each potential worker to shop for necessities.

The document shows how an illiterate 18-year-old man named Lin Sun completed the work in the contract after 8 years. He gained the trust of his employer and the pastor. He was able to continue to work and stay in the country with the given name Laureano. Based on an incomplete document from 1856 (number 87 document), two years after the Macau contract described in this article was signed, it appears that the most important purchaser of coolie labor was the Campbell family. The Campbells were one of the biggest plantation owners in Cuba, Puerto Rico, the West Indies, and Guyana. For centuries, the Campbells were a major clan in the Scottish Highlands.

of cargo ships in Hong Kong ranging in size from ten tons to 150 tons. These ships sailed around the world carrying spices, incense, tobacco, sugar, herring, tea, silk, and opium. They also traded slaves, coolies and glass beads (trade beads were used as decorations and money and they were given to Africans, Amerindians and Taiwanese aborigines in exchange for goods, slaves, and services). The ships also sold salted fish for food, making a fortune all over the world. After signing contracts, laborers would be transferred from Macau to Hong Kong and then shipped to Cuba. There was no Suez Canal at that time, so they could only reach the Atlantic via the South China Sea, Indian Ocean and the Cape of Good Hope, and then go north to Cuba and other islands in the Caribbean Sea. Slaves and coolies were often not treated like humans. If they passed away, they would be thrown into the sea and eaten by sharks. As for those who survived, they would be auctioned off.

The antique African trade beads

The Official Seal of the Spanish Council General in China

It is impor t ant to point out t hat t he of f icial seal was used throughout the document.

The stor y of Lin-Sun revealed in the contract and later documents suggests that he was luckier than most of the coolies that were transported to the Caribbean. The illiterate young man from China survived the eight years of hard labor on a farm and was able to gain the trust of his employer, church, and local government officials. The "Cedula" that was issued after his eight years of labor were completed gave him the right to stay and work in Cuba permanently.

Trade beads were used to purchase African resources by Europeans. These beads were made at a low temperature and t hey were decorat ive. They were used between t h e 16 t h a n d t h e 20 t h cent u r y a s t oken s t hat were exchanged for goods, slaves, and services.

Most of the coolies were not as lucky as Lin-Sun, as 90 percent of them died before they could complete the eight years of work. They faced inhumane conditions from the moment they boarded the ships, where they were treated as cargo, chained, and given very little food and water. History is full of stories like that of coolies, where systematic exploitation and abuse of an entire group of people occurs.

It is worth mentioning that around a century ago, the English merchant ships also bought many Chinese contract workers to Mauritius to work on the sugar plantations. The island lies northeast of Madagascar in the southwestern part of the Indian Ocean, slightly north of the Tropic of Capricorn. It has very similar weather to Cuba, which is also in the Southern Hemisphere. This happened during the 20th century, shortly after World War One, and Mauritius not a Spanish colony. These workers were treated much more humanely than the coolies in Cuba. Today, many of their descendants are successful government officials and business owners in Mauritius.

Note:

There are many stories about young men from China who did not have chance to be educated due to poverty. Another story about young men from Canton, China in the New World during the 19th century appeared in the 15th issue of this journal. That story looked at Charles Tung Sing and his friend Arsam, who worked on the Jeannette, a naval exploration vessel. Note that one of the reference letters for Lin-Sun mentions that he was illiterate and was referred to as "Chinaman Arsam" before he was given the Spanish name Loreano. lt appears that the name "Lin-Sun”simply means a person from the Lin family or "Mr. Lin." His nickname was likely Arsam. Although the word“ sam”means three in Chinese, the nickname Arsam is sometimes given to children who are not the third child in the family in the hopes that the child could grow and live to adulthood. In the Chinese Book of Chang,“sam”means to breed everything, so Cantonese used to name their child Arsam, wishing that their child would grow up in a happy environment.

64

Lin-Sun was fortunate as he finally got this cedula. He was lucky to be sold to an employer that let him get the reference letter. The cedula allowed him to live and work in Cuba. However, most coolies were not so fortunate, and over 90% of them failed to survive. After reading the story of the Campbells, we know that they made a great fortune off of slave and coolie labor and the properties and fame they accumulated at that time were enjoyed by many generations.

Finally, looking at Chinese history, we think that many of the events discussed in this article were partially caused by trade tensions related to the high cost of silk and tea. Unfortunately, similar dynamics exist today. We must learn from past experience and examine these issues carefully. Our international relations must be handled carefully, while developing the“ One Belt One Road”policy. The adoption of Confucius’ sDa-Ton World idea has benefits for mankind. At the same time, we need to continue to develop Hong Kong, Zhuhai, and Macau.

Finally, we would like to show our greatest appreciation to those who helped us understand this document. Especially to Mr. George Kaub and Pastor Dennis Bradshaw. It was their help that made it possible for us to understand this 170-yearold document and publish it. 1 8

在講述澳門文件之前,我們必須把眼光投向和澳門在同一

條北回歸線 (23.5° N)上,位於西半球的另一群島⸺ 古巴。 古巴這個坐落在加勒比海中的島嶼國,在15世紀哥倫布登

陸時,只有很少的土著人。一般人類學家相信它和南美洲 的土著是同屬於瑪雅人的一支,因為島上並沒有太多的礦

產,無金礦又無銀礦,所以並不十分受西班 牙人的重視。 但是到17世紀之後,北美洲的移民漸漸増多,因為需要大 量的人工開發。英國人和西班牙人在海上爭奪霸權之餘,把

古巴變成了黑奴買賣和轉運中心。如此也造就了一個大城市 叫哈瓦那,他們在這裡販賣人口。

的船 Clotilda 在1866年帶了110名非洲黑人到美國的阿拉 巴馬州。大約有1 250萬黑人先後由葡萄牙、西班牙還有英

國等歐洲國家被賣入古巴,拍賣後再運送到新大陸。至少 有200萬人死於運送路程中。

澳門文件(正反兩面) 第37號文件是由在澳門的西班牙公使在1855年3月13日發下來的,文件上有西班牙公使、代辦和雇主的簽名,文件上有當時 西班牙政府的官印。 文件在澳門簽署蓋章, 其中說明這個18歲的青年人林先將前往古巴, 在雇主處工作8年。 根據古巴官方的記錄, 中國人最 早在1847年就前往了古巴工作, 工作許可就是這種澳門文件, 這種文件在中國發出, 但是在古巴完成, 因此用中西雙語書 寫。 但是能夠完整存放至今的文件實在很少。 大多數的文件多是在1850年中間給予的, 文件中說明給這些中國勞工分發合 理的食物和工資醫療及假期。 值得一提的是, 當時的工資非常低, 並且只給予最少量的食物配給。 儘管一些中國人是希 望作為正常工人工作, 但是他們大都遭到了和奴隸一樣的對待, 待遇遠不如合同中描述的那樣。 我們知道勞動法在1854 年3月才頒發通過,而且我們也知道,給予他們的工資遠遠少於黑奴的工資。

Appreciation and Analysis of Shaanxi 2 Cent Copper Coins Counterfeited in the Soviet Area in Sichuan and Shaanxi Provinces During the Republican Period Wu Tao〔Shaanxi〕 coins, it also counterfeited some Shaanxi copper coins for the economic commune to purchase in Shaanxi Province.2

The style of Shaanxi copper coins minted during the Republican period is quite complicated, and there is not much historical material about this issue either. Therefore, before the Study on Shaanxi Copper Coins Minted During the Republican Period co-authored by Wu Tao and Zou Baohong was published, Shaanxi copper coins minted by the Hanzhong Mint were not clearly defined, those by the Zhenba Mint could not be correctly identified, and few collectors knew about Shaanxi 2 cent copper coins counterfeited in the Soviet Area in Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces during the Republican period.

Based on the study on Shaanxi copper coins, the history of Shaanxi copper coins minted by the Hanzhong Mint has been discovered; the specific series and format features of Shaanxi copper coins minted during the Republican period by the Hanzhong Mint were identified; the mixed usage of public and private minted coins was first found; the particular series and format features of Shaanxi copper coins minted during the Republican period by the Zhenba Mint were defined. Moreover, the series and format features of Shaanxi copper coins counterfeited in the Soviet area in Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces during the Republican period were discussed and concluded, which has enriched the information about the money issued in Sichuan and Shaanxi Revolutionary Base.3

The Fourth Army of the Red Army of Chinese Workers and Peasants advanced in Sichuan and built the Sichuan-Shaanxi Revolutionary Base in the middle of December 1932. The army stayed there for two years and four months, and they left in April 1935. In February 1933, the First Congress of Workers, Peasants, and Soldiers of Sichuan and Shaanxi Provinces was held in Tongjiang County, Sichuan Province, where the Democratic Government of Workers and Peasants of Sichuan and Shaanxi Provinces (or the Soviet Government of Sichuan and Shaanxi Provinces for short) was formally established. Once the Red Army entered Sichuan in 1932, Zheng Yizhai, the leader of the Management Department of the Fourth Army, started to gather printing and minting machines, recruit workers and prepare to set up minting and printing plants. From January to February 1933, these plants set out to produce Soviet coins and banknotes, which were officially issued in Sichuan and Shaanxi during March and April. On December 4th, 1933, the Worker and Peasant Bank of the Soviet Government of Sichuan and Shaanxi Provinces (or Sichuan and Shaanxi Worker and Peasant Bank for short) was inaugurated. Before the Red Army left the base in October 1935, these Soviet coins and banknotes played an important role in supporting the revolutionary war, as they guaranteed a supply of money for the local army and people, stabilized the market [and finance], and advanced local development. 1

The five-petaled flower series is the first series of Shaanxi 2 cents copper coins counterfeited in the Soviet area in Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces during the Republican period, and it covers two subseries, namely, the solid-flag series and hollowflag series. This is a well-known series from the Hanzhong region. In terms of its features, its upper flag poles are single, and the lower flag poles are double on each side; the tassel on the straw is a solid rectangle; the outer square of the Chinese

All these make them similar in appearance but different in spirit, so they are distinctly different.

The five-petaled flower series counterfeited in the Soviet Area in Sichuan and Shaanxi Province is characterized by simple and thick characters rather than an official calligraphic style. Hence, their styles are completely different.

The cases are characters “ 省 ”(province), “ 幣 ”(coin), and “ 圓 ”(yuan). The solid-ring series minted by the Hanzhong Mint is characterized by regular and elegant characters, and every stroke shows a strong sense of up and down. It follows the

As for the five-petaled flower series counterfeited by the Soviet Area in Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces, its pattern is simpler, and its outline is thicker. Its pattern style is unique, and its details are simplified. It can show the complicated design with the simplest lines.

In terms of the “wheat, leaves and knot” on the Shaanxi 2 cent copper coins, the pattern of the solid ring series minted by the Hanzhong Mint is more elegant, and its outline is more fluent, with a strong three-dimensional effect.

Shaanxi copper coins minted during the Republican period were mainly circulated in local areas, and were little known in other regions of China, so the collection and study by collectors has been limited. Since wars burst out during the Republican period, these areas lacked talented workers and good striking techniques to produce better coins.

Numismatist Du Weishan In My Mind Yuan Shuiqing〔Xi’an〕 In the early Spring of 2019, 87-year-old Du Weishan, in frail health at the time, completed his new work A Review on the Coins along the Maritime Silk Road: A Collection of Southeast Asian Coins in his study, Si Gu Lou (recalling the past). “I hope to finish the catalogue of ancient Vietnamese coins and Indian coins.” “Due to my illness, I could hardly fulfill all my will. I want to do a lot of things, but I don't have enough time.” 1 In July 2019, Shanghai Bookshop Publications published The Oral History From Du Weishan compiled by Dong Cunfa. However, God didn’t give him a life long enough to accomplish his task. Du had a sudden myocardial infarction due to asthma, and died on March 7th, 2020, at 11:16. Struggling against disease for over twenty years, Du put all his heart into numismatics and he was still modifying and polishing the book Thai Tokens in the moments before he slipped into a coma. This confirms his commitment to numismatics and his death is a great loss to domestic numismatic field. Many collectors are sorry to learn of his death, and I also cherish the memory of this great numismatist.

was delegated to the commanderies (jun) and principalities (guo)], chi ze wu zhu [ 赤仄五銖 , the wu zhu featuring a red edge], and san guan wu zhu [ 三官五銖 , the wu zhu produced by the Three Offices of Shang Lin]. Du assumed that, some commanderies and principalities in the Western Han Dynasty must have minted the mian si jue wu zhu [ 面 四 決 五 銖 , the wu zhu featuring four lines radiating outward from the four corners of the square center hole] from B. C. 115 to B. C. 113. Still, its relationship with the san guan wu zhu should be further discussed. (Fig. 1) On that night, Yang Huai, Xu Bo, and I did a two-hour interview with Du on behalf of the Shaanxi Numismatic Society and Collection magazine, and I was deeply impressed by his excellent memory and elegant manner. Du mentioned that he once explored the age of a wu zhu when

When I served as the editor-in-charge of the Western Finance: Numismatic Study and Collection magazine , I met Du for four time when he came from Shanghai to Xi’an for investigation and academic exchanges. When he first came to Xi’an from Nov. 14-15, 2008, the Shaanxi Numismatic Society organized the Chang’an Forum for the Study and Academic Exchanges of Chinese Coins for his arrival. 32 attendees shared their views on the age, feature, and variety of wu zhu [ 五銖 ] cash coins, such as jun guo wu zhu [ 郡國五 銖 , the minting

Jiaji of Taipei who introduced him to the field of numismatic study. Four to five years later, he decided to dedicate himself to collecting ancient Chinese coins. Du focused his collection and research on cash coins such as ban liang [ 半兩 ], wu zhu , and kai yuan tong bao [ 開元通寶 ], and the age of these coin is hard to be identified. Then, his interest turned to coins from ancient countries along the Silk Road.2 On the second day, we visited the Xianyang Numismatic Cultural Institute founded by Lin Wenjun with Du. He appreciated the ban liang from the State of Qin and purchased some coins from the early Warring States period. He also paid a visit to the Xianyang Museum of Shanhe Ancient Bridge Historic Site from the Qin and Han Dynasties. (Fig. 2) From May 3 to 7, 2009, Du visited Xi’an for the second time in ccompany of Li Hong from Macau. The academic visit was designed to collect materials and opinions for his Amended Catalogue of Wu Zhu . He called on numismatic celebrities in Shaanxi and went to the Baxian’an Cultural Relics Market. The Shaanxi Numismatic Society organized an academic forum around the dynastic research of wu zhu for him. (Fig. 3) Du came to Xi’an, “the hometown in his mind”, for the third time from May 13 to 16, 2010, and he was writing a monograph about the monies used along the Silk Road for the Shanghai Museum at that time. He looked thinner but he was still vigorous. The Shaanxi Numismatic Society invited some senior collectors from Shaanxi and Hena to attend a forum about ancient coins, and Du presented us with his new work, Catalogue of Wu Zhu , complete with his signature. With the book in my hand, I envision him rubbing 4129 pieces of wu zhu , and his work deserves my admiration and appreciation. When he heard that the Shaanxi History Museum was exhibiting coins of the Tang Dynasty unearthed from the cellar of the Hejia Village in Xi’an in 1970, he said it was a rare opportunity and he took the time to visit the show. On May 14th, Mr. Du visited the Xianyang Numismatic Cultural Institute again. He appreciated wu zhu and other coins along the Silk Road and purchased some mian si jue wu zhu and jun

guo wu zhu . On seeing the stone die of jun guo wu zhu (Fig. 5), Du was quite excited, and he even identified the type of the stone. We wondered how he knew it, and he told us that he once engaged in the related work. His last visit to Xi’an was April 13 to 14, 2011, and it was also my last time to see him. He invited Shi Gang, director of the China Numismatic Society, who has about 5,000 coins in his collection, from Xinjiang to make academic exchanges about coins along the Silk Road. On the first day, he attended a forum held by the Xi’an Administration of Cultural Relics, on which he put forward the idea of setting up a small gallery of coins from along the Silk Road in the Small Wild Goose Pagoda Museum. Then, he went to the museum for investigation together with the director of the administration. On the second day, he visited the Shaanxi Numismatic Society and held an appreciation banquet for the society, during which I communicated with him about the coins along the Silk Road. (Fig. 6) We had four more communications in four consecutive years. He had a clear goal and he kept moving forward toward it, which made him a giant figure in my mind. He never ceased exploring and he made outstanding achievements with great persistence. On June 6th, 1996, Wang Qingqing, the former director of the Shanghai Museum, appraised him as “an outstanding scholar with great accomplishments in the numismatic collection and academic study.” 3

kai yuan tong bao , and ban liang . Around 1977, he moved to Hong Kong to do business where he knew some coin dealers and scholars and saw many ban liang coins. Together with those purchased in the mainland, he had 10,000-plus pieces of ban liang in his collection, and his collection has great value. He donated over 2,000 pieces of coins from ancient countries along the Silk Road in his collection. Such donation was second to none in domestic numismatics, and all of the gold and silver coins he donated are quite rare. (Fig. 7 & 8) Du gave some suggestions for the collection. ● Collectors should learn more about history and archaeology

to lay a good foundation for building a systematic collection. ● Collectors should be persistent in pursuing great and rare

coins. Du even mortgaged his house to the bank to purchase a ban liang coin. Moreover, he said that “I once spent three years in purchasing a Genghis Khan gold coin exhibited in the Shanghai Museum. The coin originally belonged to a well-known ancient coin researcher and collector, and he was reluctant to sell it for its great rarity and value. He lived in America while I lived in Canada. I connected with him for a long time, calling him a few times a week. Finally, he agreed to sell the coin to me, and I flew to take the coin immediately.” 4 As for those rare ancient coins along the Silk Road, it may take 5 to 6 years for one of them to appear on the market. ● The collection should be systematic, as it allows collectors to

Du Weishan, born in Pudong, Shanghai on December 16th, 1933, left his hometown in 1947 and then came to engage in ancient coin collecting and study in his spare time for over 50 years after he served at a geological department in Taiwan in 1966. His remarkable numismatic achievements are highlighted in the following three aspects.

First is his abundant collection. Du is a famous coin collector with a high reputation at home and abroad. He told us that he had collected coins in Taiwan for ten years, but he didn’t see any ban liang in good condition there. However, Du kept looking for coins of this kind. He mainly purchased wu zhu ,

[ 冥 錢 , coins burned for the dead], and some circumstantial evidence. With abundant materials and fresh opinions, the book will definitely blow readers away.” In May 2006, the Catalogue of Ban Liang Coin from the Warring State Period Collected in Si Gu Lou was published, and it shares some views from the Study on Ban Liang Coin with amendments. It makes a discussion of the features of ban liang in early, middle, and late Warring State period, and it assumes that the ban liang from the middle Warring State period must have been put into circulation in the economic reform by the government. His Catalogue of Wu Zhu (Volume 1 & 2) was published in December 2009, and it makes a dynastic study on wu zhu based on unearthed material and coin dies and learns from the experience of experts from Xi’an. His Coins from Kushan Empire , published in 2012, makes a collation and study of the monetary issues of the ancient Kushan Empire in mid and west Asia, and it plays an essential role in the survey of the cultural exchanges between the central plains and the western region in the Qin and Han dynasties. His Review on the Coins along the Maritime Silk Road: A Collection of Southeast Asian

● The newcomer should work to develop their ability to

distinguish real coins from counterfeit ones rather than focusing on rare coins. “Rare coins cannot provide systematic information, and they are much more expensive. If you are told what you have bought is counterfeit, you will be discouraged, and the emotion will pose a negative influence on your ensuing collection. Therefore, when collecting ancient coins, whether ancient Chinese coins or coins along the Silk Road, the ability to identify the coins is of the utmost importance.” 5

Moreover, I am also impressed by Du’s profound study results. He has made a great accomplishment of research on ban liang , wu zhu qian, and other coins from ancient countries along the Silk Road. Persistence is the most important quality for study.6 Du kept making a study on coins, and he collected for studying his coins and donating instead of making money. He published the Oral History from Du Weishan before his death, and had compiled, co-authored, and dictated a total of eight numismatic works since 1992. His works contain sufficient information, abundant photos, and rigorous textual research, and all these can broaden the readers’ horizons. As a result, Du is highly regarded by collectors and scholars. His Coins from Ancient Countries along the Silk Road (published in 1992) ushered in a new level for the domestic study on coins of this kind. Li Hong remarked that “Du’s study on coins from ancient countries along the Silk Road takes the coin as the main body, and it also makes a careful analysis from comprehensive aspects, such as the emperor’s reign, the type of coin, the statue, etc. All these help to extend the monetary study from China to the world.”7 His Chronological Catalogue of Kai Yuan Tong Bao (published in October 1996), is based on the abundant collection of Gu Xiaokun, and Du rubbed the coins in person. He made full use of unearthed materials and archeological results to make scientific collation and analysis. In April 2000, he released two volumes of a Study on Ban Liang , and the book covers nearly 1200 rubbings. It proposed the idea that ban liang were put into circulation earlier than B.C. 378 as previously recorded. Wang Qingzheng indicated in the foreword of the book, “Du lived in Vancouver and led a secluded life. He dedicated himself to the study on ban liang . Dependent on his rich collection and unearthed material, he collated and grouped ban liang from the Warring State period and Qin Dynasty. The book also involves ban liang from the Han Dynasty, min qian

Du produced both monographs and articles, and I once read and compiled his Study on Tai Pin Bai Qian, Discussion on Monetary Standard Issue by Shang Yang: Patterns of Ban Liang Coin in Middle Warring State Period , etc. All these papers feature fresh opinions, precise demonstration, and clean manuscript. (Fig. 10)

Coins was published in March 2018. Du wrote in the foreword, “the catalog covers coins from ancient countries along the maritime Silk Road, including Pyu, Siam, Laos, Angkor, Malaysia, Jameson and Indonesia, and all those countries and regions once engaged in maritime trade. They were influenced by Chinese and Indian culture to a certain extent and minted various coins with their characteristics.” The study on coins

Du is also a generous donor. As the collector who owned the largest number of coins from ancient countries along the Silk Road in China, he donated over 2000 pieces of coins and over 200 foreign books to the Shanghai Museum in seven installments since 1991.8 He explained his motivation for donating, “I would like more people to appreciate these coins, and it is my wish to donate these coins from the ancient countries along the Silk Road to the Shanghai Museum.” These coins in good condition are of great value. The Shanghai Government even presented their “Magnolia Award” to him, and the museum set up a gallery for the Silk Road coins donated by Du Weishan and Tan Duanyan (Fig. 11); the

museum published the Shanghai Museum Collection of Coins from Ancient Countries along the Silk Road and held the first Silk Road Coins and Silk Road Cultural Forum which had a profound international influence in 2006; the Kushan Coin Exhibition was held in 2014. I do admire Du’s generous donations. In terms of the significance of his contributions, Chen Xiejun, the director of the Shanghai Museum, remarked, “Du donated a large number of coins from ancient countries along the Silk Road, and the donation has built a world of ancient foreign coins for us.” “Collecting and study were the happiest things for him, and he passed that happiness to us through his donations.”

我心目中的錢幣學家杜維善 袁水清〔西安〕 中國農曆己亥(2019 年)孟春太簇之月,87歲的杜維善抱

研究的耆 宿,至病發昏迷前一刻,還在為《泰國籌 碼錢 》 一書修改潤色,足見他對錢幣學的執著。杜老的離世,是 中國錢幣界的一個重大損失,使瞭解他的無數泉友沉浸在 無限哀思之中,而我則更加懷念他。

Newly-Founded 1988 1oz China Platinum Panda Pattern Ge Zukang〔Hangzhou〕 Due to its great rarity, oxidation resistance and favorable ductility gold has been a natural currency and a symbol of wealth since its discovery. The panda, a unique and rare living fossil from China, has been sent to many countries as a national gift, popular among people all over the world. It is even used as the logo of the World Wildlife Fund. In 1982, the People's Bank of China issued the first set of mint state gold coins with the giant panda pattern on its reverse, which became the ‘panda’ coin for short. Since then, China’s precious metal panda coin has been independently graded and certified, coveted by collectors worldwide. The 1983 mint state China gold and silver panda coins won the “Best Gold” and the “Best Silver” awards of the 1985 Coin of the Year Award [COTY], respectively. Since the mint state gold panda coin has won numerous awards at home and abroad, it has become the most popular among the six major gold investment coins in the world.

Panda

Since the success of gold panda coin, China has been one of the few countries that issue gold coins that trade across the world.

150 mm, and weigh from 1 gram to 5,000 grams. These gold and silver commemorative panda coins as well as proof coin sets have been coveted by coin collectors since their first issue.

Since its first issue, the People’s Bank of China has issued panda coins with various patterns, scales, and materials. There are platinum coins, palladium coins, copper coins, bi-metallic coins, colored coins, etc. Their diameters range from 10 mm to

According to the issuing process, a pattern of the coin should be submitted for approval. Then, it will be put into production after approval or be approved after revising; some projects may be rejected and fail to pass the approval for various reasons.

China Gold Coin Inc., founded in 1987, introduced a pattern bidding system in 2000 where the winning pattern would be finally put into production and the corresponding mint would have the rights of production.

were also melted according to Document 20 issued by the People’s Bank of China. Therefore, all inventory patterns which had not been put into production before 2012 were melted after being confirmed by China Gold Coin Inc.

On October 13th, 2005, the company rolled out the pattern management policy based on the original pattern management approach, and it strengthened the management of the inventory patterns by introducing a dual-management system. In addition, the company started to check inventory patterns at the end of the year (including patterns produced after the year 2000).

The only exception is those patterns of the coins produced for overseas sales in the first twenty years of panda coin production, as these coins required the approval of international distributors. Hence, their patterns were sent overseas for the opinion of major foreign distributors, and the patterns which have not been returned are now in the overseas market.

On October 20th, 1995, China Gold Coin Inc. decided to melt all precious metal patterns which had not been approved for production. In 2002, those unissued silver and gold patterns

Because there are so many patterns of coins selling overseas, few distributors focus on such patterns except for a few dealer such as Martin Weiss of Panda America and Lin Wenhu from

patterns produced in early times were not recovered, some of which were sold on the market. The cases are the 1983 19 gram silver panda pattern sold to Lin Wenhu of Singapore and the 1984 gold panda pattern to Martin Weiss of Panda America. Three examples of the 1985 gold patterns issued for the 10th anniversary of Women’s Day of the United Nations were sold at the 1994 Beijing auction jointly held by Singapore's Taixingge and Quanyouzhai and two shops of Quanyouzhai at Beijing and Shanghai. Moreover, there were examples of the 1991 2 ounce dragon and horse gold and silver patterns, the 1992 5 ounce Macro Polo gold and silver patterns, 1984 1/3 ounce Qin Shi Huang gold and silver patterns of China outstanding historical figure series, the 1986 Binyin Year of the Tiger 15 gram 5 yuan silver coin, the 1986 World Cup 1/2 ounce mint state silver panda pattern and the 1982 Renxu Year of the Dog 250 yuan gold patterns found overseas. Maybe there are many other precious metal patterns reserved at the gallery and the warehouse of China Gold Coin Inc, but managers have not noticed that these are patterns. Hence, their photos appear in the catalogs of issued coins from time to time.

Singapore. Therefore, most panda patterns are in the hand of foreign collectors. At present, a dozen rare patterns in the collection of Chinese modern precious metal coin collectors are from the international market except for some copper patterns. Recently, an oversea collector shared a photo of the 1988 China 1oz platinum panda pattern, and he purchased this pattern at a price much higher than its initial price from Robert Mish, a famous dealer engaged in the China modern precious metal business in America. On seeing the photo, I congratulated him on obtaining such a rare China platinum panda pattern. When I wrote China Modern Precious Coin Patterns in 2009, I made a careful study on this platinum pattern. According to a CD from China Gold Coin Inc. and many other sources, the 1988 China 1oz platinum panda pattern by the Shenyang Mint has proven to be an extremely rare one. On May 18th, 2002, I was invited to the forum for the 2nd anniversary of the founding of China Gold Coin magazine organized by the Promotion and Information Department of China Gold Coin Inc. After the forum, I suggested Meng Qingzhou, the director of the department, that the company should build a photo gallery for the precious metal coins it has issued and issue a CD for a complete set of China gold coins, so as to promote the development of China modern precious metal coins.

As the department in charge has no idea about patterns of precious metal coins issued before 2000, it is an indisputable fact that these precious metal patterns have circulated in the market, traded among dealers, and exchanged among collectors for many years. Some photos of patterns were mistaken for issued coins in the Catalogue for the 35th Anniversary of China Panda Gold Coins and Catalogue of China Panda Gold Coins by China Gold Coin Inc. in 2018. Shining 10 Years, published by the company even put photos of the 1988 panda gold coin and 1989 panda gold coin in the wrong order. All these indicate that the compiler does not have enough knowledge about these coins.

My suggestion was adopted. They collected a variety of China’s modern precious metal coins and finally produced a CD through years of effort. Meng said that they only made 3 CDs and the CD would not be released to the public, but he sent one of them to me. I compared photos in the CD with coins in kind and referred to pictures of precious metal panda coins which I have taken and the books and materials published by China Gold Coin Inc. I found that the CD covers some unissued patterns, including the 1988 1oz China platinum panda pattern produced by the Shenyang Mint.

In the history of the numismatic collection, the rarest and most precious collections are not those founded or identified by manufacturers or government authorities but those by professional numismatists. Up to now, there has not been any patterns of Chinese modern precious metal coins confirmed by issuers.

I have not seen this pattern in Beijing, Shanghai, or the Guangzhou numismatic markets or in any auction catalogs. According to books issued by China Gold Coin Inc., all 1988 China panda 1oz platinum patterns share the same obverse pattern of the Temple of Heaven designed by the Shanghai Mint, except that the Catalogue of Precious Metal Commemorative Coins of the People’s Republic of China issued by Southwestern University of Finance and Economics Press in 2006 replaces the obverse with the pattern of the platinum pattern. Hence, I came up with an idea of making a study on China's modern precious metal patterns and publishing a reference book.

Now, let's talk about the 1988 1 oz platinum panda pattern by the Shenyang Mint. It is commonly known that the Shanghai Mint produced the first set of mint state gold panda coins in 1982. Its obverse features the Temple of Heaven designed and engraved by Sun Qilin from the Shanghai Mint, and the pattern is known as the Temple of Heaven with three gates and four columns. The reverse was designed and engraved by designer Chen Jian. The Shanghai Mint designed and produced mint state gold panda coins from 1982 to 1984. As the China Gold Coin Inc. wanted to balance the production between the Shanghai Mint and the Shenyang Mint, the 1985 mint state gold panda coin

Due to the incomplete information and imperfect system, some

set was co-designed and co-produced by two mints. Its obverse still used the Temple of Heaven pattern designed by Sun Qilin, while its reverse was designed and engraved by designer Wang Fudi from the Shenyang Mint.

Temple of Heaven pattern with four gates and one column as the obverse. As the pattern of the Shenyang Mint was not put into production, there were only a few patterns kept in the warehouse of China Gold Coin Inc.

The 1986 mint state and proof gold panda coin sets were designed by the Shenyang Mint and co-produced with the Shanghai Mint. They share the same obverse pattern, namely the Temple of Heaven pattern designed and engraved by Li Xiaochuan and Shen Xianzhang from the Shenyang Mint. This pattern is known as the Temple of Heaven pattern with four gates and one column. The reverse is the panda designed and engraved by Yan Jingkui.

Most panda coin collectors focus more on patterns on the reverse, so they may have not noticed the change of obverse patterns. Therefore, it took a long time to find this extremely rare 1988 platinum panda pattern with four-gate and onecolumn Temple of Heaven pattern on the obverse. I have paid attention to this platinum pattern for a long time, inquiring both domestic and foreign panda coin collectors and referring to a lot of materials. However, I have not found any relevant report. Even the most famous Chinese and American panda coin collectors do not have this pattern in their collections, which proves its great rarity.

As for the 1987 version, both obverses of the mint state gold panda coin set and the first platinum panda coin took the use of the Temple of Heaven pattern with three gates and four columns designed by Sun Qilin from the Shanghai Mint.

It has been ten years since this rare platinum panda pattern has been found in America. It is another extremely rare platinum pattern in addition to the 1983 19 gram silver panda pattern, the 1984 mint state gold panda pattern set, and the unissued 1997 5 ounce bi-metallic panda coin.

The 1988 mint state and proof panda gold coin sets were mainly designed and minted by the Shenyang Mint, and the Shanghai Mint helped to produce the mint state one. Therefore, the Temple of Heaven pattern with four gates and one column was taken as the obverse. The second example of the 1 oz platinum panda coin was also issued this year. It was thought that the Shenyang Mint would produce the platinum coin, so the Shenyang Mint submitted the pattern with four-gate and one-column Temple of Heaven pattern on the obverse to the China Gold Coin Inc. However, the project was finally given to the Shanghai Mint, so the Shanghai Mint used the

The Attribution of Sino-Kharosthi Coins Zhou Ti〔Urumqi〕 The Sino-Kharosthi coin, or Khotan horse coin, is the most famous coin among all Sinkiang coins, and is popular with collectors. Khotan horse coins fall into seven groups, and these groups are distinguished by the shape or structure of the Chinese character inscription on the reverse. There is also a camel coin that features a camel on the obverse. Fig. 1

Part Ⅰ Distinguished by the shape of the Chinese character inscription. According to the shape of the character inscription, the coins are classified as 1. the xue zi liu coin(its Chinese character inscription liu [ 六 ]has a similar shape as the Chinese character xue [ 穴 ], 2. the yuan zi liu coin (liu has a similar shape as yuan [ 元 ] and 3. the da zi liu coin (liu has a similar shape as da [ 大 ].

Fig. 2

Part Ⅱ With a camel pattern on the obverse. 4. The ‘Camel’ coin.

Part Ⅲ Distinguished by the structure of the Chinese character inscription. As for those distinguished by the structure of the Chinese character inscription, they are grouped into: 5. the ping zi liu coin (the liu has a flat structure), 6. the zhong zi da qian coin (the Chinese character zhong is relatively large) and 7. the xiao zi liu coin (the liu character is relatively small).

was simplified from four points to two points. (Fig. 1 & 2) 2. The Yuan zi liu coin

Part Ⅰ

Its Chinese character liu looks like yuan, and it is composed of a point, a horizontal line, a left-downward sloping line, and a right-downward sloping line. Besides, its inscription, zhu, is also special, as its sloping line on the top left is downward sloping to the left. (Fig. 3)

1. The Xue zi liu coin

The character liu , which means six, on the reverse looks like the Chinese character xue, and its style is closest to the lesser seal calligraphic style. Moreover, the Chinese character zhu [ 銖 ], which refers to the unit of currency, also has the same calligraphy style as that on Chinese wu zhu qian coin.

3. The Da zi liu coin

Its Chinese character liu looks like da , and the character is composed of three strokes, a horizontal line, a left-downward sloping line, and a right-downward sloping line, all clean and straightforward.

The xue liu zi coin has two different varieties in calligraphic styles of the characters qian zhu [ 錢 銖 ], especially the character zhu . The right part of zhu was simplified from zhu [ 朱 ]to wei [ 未 ], and the right part of qian was simplified from jian [ 戔 ] to ge [ 戈 ]. Also, the left part of these two characters

6. The Zhong zi da qian coin The zhong zi da qian coin is inscribed with six Chinese characters zhong nian si zhu tong qian [ 廿 四 銖 銅 錢 ], which means the copper coin weighs 24 zhu. It can be regarded as a special variety. Among the six characters, only the character zhong is in the correct direction regardless of the starting direction. Distinguished by features of the inscription, this coin falls into several varieties, namely an anti-clockwise inscription starting at 5, 8, or 12 o'clock, a clockwise inscription starting at 6 o'clock, a clockwise inscription and starting at 2 o'clock, and a clockwise inscription starting at 12 o'clock. In addition, it has a symbol on the reverse. Some hold that it is the western clan insignia, and some hold that it is the Chinese decoration pattern. Considering the currency function of the horse coin, we tend to agree with the second opinion. (Fig. 6-7)

Fig. 4

which is relatively smaller, is on the upper half of the coin. The Chinese character zhu qian features a small top and big bottom, elongated vertically. Most overstruck horse coins are of this group. (Fig. 4)

Part Ⅱ 4. The Camel coin. This coin has two sizes. Since I do not have a camel coin in good condition, the figures below are from two published books (the cover of A Monetary History of Sinkiang by Wang Yongsheng, and a sketch from The Sino-Kharosthi Coins of Khotan written by Joseph Cribb of England and translated by Yao Shuomin). As for the symbol in the middle of its reverse, there has not been a reliable interpretation. Some hold that it is a clan insignia, while some believe that it is the Chinese character yu [ 於 ]. We assume that it is derived from ‘maha ’ in Kharosthi script. Maha originally meant ‘sublime’ and ‘respect’ in Kharosthi, and it may refer to da, which means big in Chinese, of the da zi liu coin.

Fig. 6

Part Ⅲ 5. The Ping liu zi coin

7.“Xiao Liu Zi”

Its character liu features a long horizontal line parallel to two short horizontal lines, and its shape is a flat square. Ping liu zi coins are exquisite, and most horse coins in good condition are of this variety. (Fig. 5)

The style of liu [ 六 ] is the same as that of modern handwriting style. Since the size of the Chinese character liu is much smaller than the other two characters, it is named xiao liu zi , or small ‘6’. (Fig. 8)

Now, let’s talk about Kharosthi, the other script on the Khotan horse coin.

Tiesheng, the Kharosthi letters on the horse coin can be clearly identified. The alphabet is attached at the end of this article.

The first word is maharaja in Kharosthi script, and it means “great king.” The word is composed of four letters or syllables, and it is the easiest word to be identified from the horse coin.

As for the second word, there are some differences in the first letter of the word. Since it is either in the shape of “ + ” or the shape of an umbrella, its transliteration can be ‘tha’ or ‘sha’. In most cases, it is transliterated as ‘sha’. The transliteration of the second letter is ‘di’ or ‘ti’, and we tend to take it as ‘ti’. Therefore, the second word should be ‘shatiraja’. (Fig. 9)

According to the Kharosthi alphabet on page 333 of the Coinage of India (6th Century B. C. – 19th Century A. D.) by Mr. Li

Fig. 9

liu zhu is the core of the horse coin, as it is the keyword which can identify its function as money.

Shati may refers to the state of Shache, so these two words mean the great king of Shache. The language used in the west of China at that time had disappeared, while the words on the horse coin reserve some information about this ancient language. The related Chinese record serves as an important tool for us to understand the language used there.

The horse coin follows a Chinese coin style, but it also makes some innovations based on imitation. The inscription liu zhu [ 六銖 ] in Chinese characters was used to identify its currency function and value of the horse coin, and it reminds us of the wu zhu qian coin from the Han dynasty.

The third word is composed of two letters, and they look alike. These two letters are relatively complicated among all letters inscribed on the horse coin, and their English transliteration is ‘gugra’ or ‘gurga’. Because both ‘gra’ and ‘rga’ are polysyllabic, they cannot be found in the alphabet directly and we can only use the transliteration by western researchers. As for these two transliterations, we tend to adopt ‘gurga’.

On the whole, ‘maharaja’ and ‘gurga’ in Kharosthi script are the keywords of the inscription on the coin, and the importance of these two words can also be ref lected from the design of the coin, as they can always be easily identified regardless of the variety. The following two Kharosthi words are more complicated, as they are diverse in different varieties. Based on the research, they have similarities as well as differences. First, let’s compare the xue zi liu coin and the xiao liu zi coin.

Westerns scholars hold that ‘gurga’ is the family name of the royal family, and most west scholars agree with this opinion. However, what’s the actual meaning of the word? Gurga may refer to liu zhu [ 六 銖 ] in Chinese, which is the denomination of the coin. The syllable ‘gu’ may be the transliteration of Chinese character zhu [ 銖 ], and ‘rga’ may be the ancient pronunciation of liu. Since there is no corresponding phoneme in Kharosthi, the polysyllabic word is used to express accurate pronunciation.

Both western and Chinese scholars agree that the xue zi liu coin was issued earlier, and we may take it as the original variety. As for the xiao liu zi coin, it should have been issued at a later period according to its writing style. The xue zi liu coin has a suffix, while xiao liu zi does not. Both two varieties use ‘sa’ as the end of the word. Since we do not agree with the western scholars that ‘gurga’ is the family name of the royal

In addition to the words which mean the great king of shache,

family, what is the meaning of ‘dama’ in Kharosthi script after ‘gurga’ on the xue zi liu coin?

(2) maharaja

The writing style of the inscription on large horse coin zhong zi da qian is similar to the small coin ping liu zi , so it is presumed that the large horse coin was struck in the later period. The characters on large coins are much smaller than that on small coins on the whole. Besides, the large coins have some new features. For instance, their inscriptions are either clockwise or anti-clockwise, and most of them have a decorative symbol in the center of the coin.

The other four varieties were minted in either earlier or later periods. The Yuan zi liu and da zi liu were minted earlier, and the inscription after ‘gurga’ is ‘moa’ in Kharosthi script; the ping liu zi was minted in the later period. As for the ping liu zi, zhong zi da qian and xiao liu zi coins, the inscription after ‘gurga’ is ‘moya’ in Kharosthi script. The pronunciations of moa and moya are similar. It is speculated that the manufacturer of the horse coin replaces the concept of qian [ 錢 ] (coin) in Chinese with the classifier mei [ 枚 ] (piece) or wen [ 文 ] (cent) as the unit of the currency. Hence, there is a difference between moa and moya.

The Kharosthi script on the large horse coin which starts at 11 o’clock can be transliterated as maharaja rajatiraja shatiraja gurga moya. Though western and Chinese scholars hold different opinions on the meaning of the second word, which might mean “king of kings,” there is no problem in identifying these words.

Inscriptions on the small horse coin are as follows:

Early period: shatiraja

gurga

dama

shatiraja

gurga

From the view of numismatics, it may be the material or the appellation of the coin. This word doesn’t inf luence its function as currency. Therefore, we suppose that dama is the transliteration of tong [ 銅 ], or copper, in its Chinese character.

如何識別漢佉二體錢(和田馬錢) 周 倜〔烏魯木齊〕 和田馬錢作為新疆古錢幣中的名譽品,喜愛它的人自然不在 少數。

Taiwan was first discovered in the Sui dynasty. It didn’t begin to open up virgin land for farming until the end of the Ming dynasty, and before that, it was the place where Fujian fishermen fished. It is said that native inhabitants of the Gaoshan tribe used beads as currency for trade, but there are no records to prove this.

My View on

At the end of the Ming dynasty, people started to immigrate f rom t he m ai n la nd t o Taiwa n. Soon af t e r, t he D ut ch and Spanish introduced their goods to Taiwan. With the introduction of currencies of different countries, a wide range of coins circulated in the market, which made the currency circulation a mess. At the end of the Qing dynasty, during the reign of the Guangxu Emperor, the Sino-Japanese War of 18941895 took place. After Japan won the war and occupied Taiwan, a new coin system was introduced, which brought Taiwan to a systematic “age of coin.”

Taiwan

There is almost no information about the currency in circulation before Taiwan was occupied by Japan from 1895. At that time, silver ingots, foreign silver dollars, Taiwan silver dollars, and copper coins all circulated in Taiwan. Without clear exchange rates all these currencies were exchanged according to the unstrict “scale system” rather than by their denominations.

Chou Chienfu〔Taipei〕

During the Qing dynasty, Taiwan was far left behind the mainland economically, and its living standard and prices were much lower. Since it was more convenient to use silver coins with the small denomination of 20 cents rather than one dollar coins, the 20 cent coins were used foremost. As for the 50 tael ingot, people hardly used it except for bulk purchases. Hence, foreign silver coins became the most commonly used currency in people’s daily lives.

the silver ingots in its Treasury. The so-called “six-eight silver dollar” refers to the silver dollar which weighs 6 mace and 8 candareens. However, in the Taiwan Record writer Lian Yatang once mentioned that it was inconvenient to carry hundreds of thousands of ingots in the Treasury, so these ingots were struck into coins. However, these coins were not minted to pay the military. The government struck these coins for the public which used [to use] silver coins such as the old man silver

In 1851, the Taiping Rebellion started in mainland China, but Taiwan was also in chaos. The authorities purposed to pay for military services by minting the “six-eight silver dollar” with

7 mace and 2 candareens, and the latter coins of one 7 mace and 2 candareens and 3 mace and 6 candareens. When Taiwan was ceded to Japan after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Japanese currency became the major currency in use.

dollar, paint brush silver dollar, and lotus silver dollar, and these coins still appear on the auction today. It is said that the old man dollar was minted officially during Daoguang’s reign when a rebellion had burst out in Taiwan. Its obverse features the Chinese God of Longevity with a walking stick in his hand, inscribed with its denomination (7 mace and 2 candareens), year (in Daoguang’s reign) and the Chinese characters “ 足 文 銀 餅 ” (fine silver cake coin). Its reverse is inscribed with Manchu characters to indicate that it is minted in Taiwan, and there is a treasure bowl at the center. It is stamped with an official chop of “ 訟 .” The paint brush dollar was minted by the government when Dai Chunchao was leading the rebellion. On the obverse, two paint brushes cross each other. The coin weighs 6 mace and 2 candareens. Its reverse features a cornucopia and Chinese characters “ 軍 餉 ” (military pay) and “ 足紋通行 ” (universal fine silver coin), with an official chop of “ 糧 .” As for the lotus silver coin, it is said to be minted during the Fengshan Rebellion. There is a pair of lotuses and the Chinese characters “ 足紋通行 ” on the obverse, and a cornucopia and the Chinese characters “ 府庫 軍 餉 ” on the reverse. Such coins have chops of “ 平升 ” and “ 六 .” These official chops are the critical mark to identify these coins.

There was a large number of silver coins minted in Taiwan, but there are few Taiwan silver coins now. It is a consequence of Gresham’s Law, or “bad money drives out good”. The silver content of the “six-eight silver cake coin” and “Taiwan silver dragon” was as high as 98%. As for foreign dollars, their silver content was around 90%. If we melt these coins to get pure silver, we can get 6.664 maces of silver from a Taiwan silver coin which weighs 6 mace and 8 candareens, while 6.48 maces of silver from a foreign silver coin which weighs 7 mace and 2 candareens. Therefore, many merchants melted Taiwanese silver coins to get more profit. In addition to the coins melted, the small silver dragon coin minted in Taiwan was just issued for two to three years, and it was no longer issued after the Sino-Japanese War. After Taiwan was ceded to Japan, all currencies in the market were replaced by Japanese ones. Most small silver dragon coins left were made into buttons or hairpins. Moreover, local people used to identify silver coins according to the chop, so most existing small silver dragon coins are in bad condition, and very few are in good condition.

In 1890, Guangdong province minted a silver coin with a dragon pattern which is now known as a Chinese silver dragon coin. Such coins were also used in Taiwan. From 1892 to 1893, the Taipei Mint struck silver dragon coins inscribed with “ 臺 省製 造 ” and “ 臺灣 製 造 ” (“minted in Taiwan”). The former had the two denominations of 1 mace and 4 candareens and

Minting and Appreciation of the First Large Irregular Brass Medal in Modern China Zhang Jun〔Shanghai〕

The Obverse of the Large Irregular Brass Medal to commemorate the 2nd Congress of the Association for Science and Technology of the Shanghai Mint Co., Ltd.

The Reverse of the Large Irregular Brass Medal to commemorate the 2nd Congress of the Association for Science and Technology of the Shanghai Mint Co., Ltd.

The Association for Science and Technology of the Shanghai Mint Co., Ltd. was founded on July 18th, 2003. It is a large organization of scientific and technological professionals as well as a people’s group under the guidance of the party committee of the mint. Moreover, it also serves as a bridge that links the party committee and the management department with the engineering technicians, and acts as an important source of technological support for the development of minting technology in the Shanghai Mint. In December 2009, the second Congress of the Association for Science and Technology of the Shanghai Mint was held and the second commission of the association was elected. The association struck a medal, which is the first irregular large brass medal in China, to commemorate the congress.

characteristics. However, limited by the processing facilities and technologies, large brass medals used to be round, with a small number of square medals. The large brass medal to commemorate the second Congress of the Association for Science and Technology of the Shanghai Mint Co., Ltd. was designed with an irregular shape, breaking the traditional concept of large brass medals. The medal is partially hollowed out and 1/3 ounce of silver is inserted on one side. The silver makes use of pad printing technology, which is commonly used to strike gold and silver commemorative coins, and the emblem of the China Association for Science and Technology is color printed, which highlights the theme of this medal. With all these efforts, this large brass medal is simple, unsophisticated, and innovative, leaving a deep impression on those who have seen it with their own eyes.

Large brass medals are a favorite item for collectors. In past decades, commemorative medals have been popular among collectors due to the wide variety of themes, which include history, Chinese characters, cultural relics, drama, art, zodiac animals, architecture, scenery, and plants.

As this 160 mm x 70 mm medal is much larger than round brass medals whose diameters are commonly no larger than 80 mm, its minting process was quite difficult. To strike the large

Each large brass medal is packed in am imitation padauk box which can display the medal from an oblique angle. In addition, a certificate with a serial number is included in the box.

They kept adjusting the processing techniques through several attempts. First, after annealing, they re-printed for the medal’s color part times until they achieved the ideal effect. After the pattern was successfully printed on the medal, the medal went through a series of processing approaches such as punching, line cutting, sulfur coloring, pad printing, and inserting. After all these processes, the medal was finally completed.

The reverse features the Gold and Silver Commemorative Coin Building of the Shanghai Mint. The obverse is engraved with the Chinese and English legend, “To Commemorate the 2nd Congress of the Shanghai Mint Co., Ltd. Association for Science and Technology”, and decorated with a pattern derived from the shape of a ball, with a 1/3 ounce silver medal inserted in the top middle on the reverse. The composition of the 20 mm inserted medal is 99.9% silver, on which the emblem of the China Association for Science and Technology is color printed, with a chip built in to read and identify information (including security information).

INVASION NOTES Jan Olav Aamlid 〔Thailand〕

One of the currency notes, which stands out from the other series, is the 1-Baht note, which was announced June 3, 1946. The note was produced by Thomas de da Rue & Company Limited, London (TdlR) and ordered by St. Luke’s Printing Works (Bank of England) on behalf of the War Office.

30 million pcs

The face value for all the planned notes printed amounted to Baht 1,108,500,000. - (Over 1 Billion Baht). These quoted numbers are validated by of a letter dated January 16, 1946 written by St. Luke’s Printing Works to Thomas de da Rue & Company Limited. Though photographic gravure for all the denominations (except for 50 satang) were produced and approved by the British War Office, as far as I know the original artwork was produced for the 1 Baht and 100 Baht note only.

This plan was kept secret from the Siamese Government, as they did not want their invasion strategy leaked to the Japanese.

During that period the Japanese Imperial Army controlled the economy in Siam which also included the circulation of banknotes. So, in 1945 the Allied Forces set a plan in motion to print new 1-Baht notes which would look very different to the ones in use. They would then circulate these new banknotes in those areas that they seized back from the Japanese as a symbol of liberation.

the plan was put on hold.

On August 10, 1945 St. Luke’s Printing Works (Bank of England)gave instructions to Thomas de da Rue& Company Limited, London (TdlR) to print 10 million 1-Baht notes.

After the war, the Siamese Government was in urgent need of banknotes, but TdlR was unable to print any notes for Siam at that time. Sadly, during the war, their building in London, where the printing press was located, was heavily damaged by aerial bombardment, incapacitating their production capabilities immensely. Another reason was, they had a prior commitment to fulfil a very large order from China.

The other denominations were never printed. Thus the 1-Baht note is the only note that was actually printed. On January 24, 1946 TdlR presented a quotation for the printing of 1, 5, 10, 20 & 100 baht notes, but apparently because the war had ended, there was no more need for the Invasion Notes, so

The Siamese Government learned that there were already 10 million 1-Baht Invasion Notes printed. They requested the British War Office to give them the notes, which were put into circulation on June 3, 1946.

But before the notes were put into circulation, a small change was made. The words, ‘Thai Government ’ were superimposed over the words ‘Issued in Siam ’. Below that, the words ‘This note is legal tender in accordance with the law ’ were embossed.

The Japanese Dating Systems for Coinage Jay Turner 〔USA〕

(1903) M36 1Yen JNDA 01-10A, Japan, PCGS MS68. For the machine-struck coinage of Japan (1870 to date), the dating of the coinage has been for the most part based off the reigning year of the emperor. Beginning with the coinage of 1870, the date that was stamped on the coins was the Japanese character combination for Meiji (enlightened peace), denoting Emperor Mutsuhito. Emperor Mutsuhito began his reign in 1868 and the first machine-struck coinage started in 1870 with year

three appearing on the coin, signifying the commencement of the Mutsuhito reign. When Mutsuhito passed in 1912 it was the 45th year of his reign, thus ending the Meiji coinage. The dating then returned to year one with the character for Taisho (great righteousness) appearing upon commencement of the reign

of Emperor Yoshihito.

Emperor Yoshihito year one equates to 1912, as it was the first year of his reign, and that dating system continued until 1926. After Yoshihito, coinage dates were reset again with

Common Era calendar.

For the Japanese Occupation Coinage of World War II, a different dating system and dates appear on the coinage. The Japanese Shinto Dynastic Calendar starts with the year zero, equating to 660 BCE – this is the year Japan is believed to have been founded. For the coinage struck by the Osaka Mint for use in the East Indies under Japanese occupation, the dates 2603 and 2604 were used and equate to 1943 and 1944 in the

PRESS RELEASE:

Artist Yu Min was given the Lifetime Achievement Award by Krause Publication Coin of the Year Award Committee

Editor of World Coin News David C. Harper (L.) and Chinese Embassy Culture Department Secretary Dr. Li Gang

Shanghai Mint Co., Ltd. senior designer Yu Min is watching CCTV News live

A Lifetime Achievement Award in Coin Design was given to Yu Min of the Shanghai Mint Co., Ltd., Feb. 4 at the Coin of the Year Award ceremony at the World Money Fair in Berlin, Germany.

He began designing and engraving coins in 1980 and participated in the entire development process of gold and silver Pandas as a designer and engraver since the first gold panda coin was issued in 1982.

The trophy was accepted by Dr. Li Gang, Secretary of the Culture Department of Embassy of People’s Republic of China to the Federal Republic of Germany. Yu Min is the first Asian Designer to win the award, the previous three edition of the award went to Herbert Wähner of Austria, Maria Carmela Colaneri of Italy, and Heinz Hoyer and Sneschana Russewa-Hoyer of Germany. Giving the award was David C. Harper, editor of World Coin News, founding sponsor of the award. The award is also sponsored by the World Money Fair. The publisher of the Journal of East Asian Numismatics, Michael Chou, introduced Dr. Li. His publication is the third sponsor of the Coin of the Year Awards and it prepared a biography of Yu Min. Yu Min graduated from Shanghai Arts and Crafts School in August 1980 and entered the Shanghai Mint (now known as the Shanghai Mint Co., Ltd.) to design and to engrave coins in the design and pattern shop at the same year. From February to June 1996 he went to Russia and studied in the Sculpture Department of Repin Academy of Fine Arts. He was enrolled as a member of the China Sculpture Institute in July 2004.

His 1983 silver Panda won the Best Silver Coin award in the 1985 Coin of the Year competition. He has designed and engraved over 200 Modern Chinese coins including over 40 commemorative Panda coins, including the 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012 and 2013 gold and silver commemorative Panda coins, over the years. Mr. Yu Min may hold the world record for the number of coins designed/engraved by a artist for a modern mint. The 2009 Panda coin designed by Yu Min was named the Best Commemorative Coin by a German magazine. Among commemorative coins, he designed and engraved the portrait of Chairman Mao on the circulating coin to mark the 100th birthday of Mao Tse-tung. It was very difficult to engrave a raised image of the chairman to be struck on a very hard nickelclad steel coin. Yu Min accomplished this after repeated trials. In the selection process of the 2008 Beijing Olympic coins, Yu Min’s design was one of the finalists and his four joint engraving designs (the fencing, pentathlon, archery and soccer coins) were adopted by the head office of Bank of China.

In June 2010, Top Chinese Coins Vol. 1 was published by iAsure Group and the The Journal of East Asian Numismatics (JEAN). Top Chinese Coins Vol. 1 offers an in-depth summary of the final results from the Top Chinese Coins Survey, a landmark event held in winter 2009 to search for the 10 most valuable Chinese struck coins. Coins submitted for review were judged by their rarity, historical importance, artistic appeal, condition, market value and group identity. The deluxe bound book offered details on the Top Chinese Coins Survey as well as high-quality pictures, price trends, degrees of rarity and historical context of the 60 top Modern Chinese Coins.

Top Chinese Coins , Vol. 1 had a limited print run of 1000, leaving many numismatists and enthusiasts unable to purchase a copy of their own. In response to high demand, iAsure has made certain that the second volume which released in June 2011 will be available to a much wider audience. While Top Chinese Coins Vol. 1 included gold, silver and copper coins, the second volume highlights the great range of silver coins. It will also add summaries from auction sales that list pricing, degree of rarity, pedigree and grades.

The Journal of East Asian Numismatics Bilingual (English-Chinese) Digital Quarterly In 1994, The Journal of East Asian Numismatics (JEAN) was founded by Michael Chou, the CEO of Champion Auction and Bruce Smith, a noted numismatist. It is a professional numismatic academic journal whose mission is to educate collectors and researchers on the subjects of Chinese numismatics, culture and history. Bruce Smith, the chief editor of JEAN, was born in 1951 in St. Louis, MO. He received his BA in history from the University of Missouri St. Louis; and his MA in China studies from Harvard University. In 19741977, he worked for Krause Publications as Editorial Assistant on World Coin News and as cataloger for Standard Catalog of World Coins and Standard Catalog of World Paper Money. He was a full time coin dealer 1977-1987. In 1988-1989, he studied in China as a student of China Studies in Chengchow (Zhengzhou) University, Henan province. In 1991-1993, Mr. Smith was a graduate student at Harvard University. In 1994-1998, he was the editor of The Journal of East Asian Numismatics (JEAN). Bruce Smith has been a collector and researcher of Chinese coins for over 30 years. His published research in JEAN has added immensely to the body of knowledge for Chinese coins. The first issue of JEAN was released in July 1994, and the last issue (18th issue) in 1998. Most articles were written in English, the remainder in Chinese. The journal was distributed in over 20 countries, and remained a mainstay on many important library shelves, including the Smithsonian Institution, the British Museum, the Harvard Yenching Library, Harvard University, Yale University, Columbia University, Stanford University, Cornell University, the ANS (American Numismatic Society), and the ANA (American Numismatic Association). The journal enjoyed great popularity and many important articles were published in JEAN, including “Peking Coins of 1900” by James Sweeny, “More on the Hsu Shih-chang Medals with engraved names” and “The true story of China’s 1936 and 1937 Silver Dollars” by Bruce Smith, “The Apparent Relationship
