As soon as the brocade box was opened, Yu Yao was not polite, and directly took out the things from the inside.

"National treasure Jin Kui Zhiwan?"

Teng Kunwu nodded, "It's a rare thing." However, I wasn't really interested in it, and I was the fastest to do it. ”

Generally speaking, the national treasure gold is regarded as an ancient coin. However, Teng Kunwu said that the use is controversial, which is a serious statement. Because at that time, it was really uncertain whether it was used as currency or not.

In other words, even if it is used as currency, there must be other special uses.

The shape of the national treasure Jin Kui Naoman is also very special.

It is a product of Wang Mang's New Dynasty period. Originally, since Qin Shi Huang unified the currency and passed the "half tael", the round money square hole has become the mainstream, and there are few strange currencies such as knife coins and shell coins;

However, the national treasure is mainly composed of two parts. The upper part is a round square hole, similar to a normal copper coin, while the lower part is a square with two vertical edges. And the one that connects the round and the square is a "small short neck".

In the round square hole part, like ordinary copper coins, it surrounds the four-character seal script: National Treasure Jinkui.

On the square, it is a vertical two-character seal script: Zhiwan.

If it is regarded as an ancient coin, these seal characters can be explained simply and directly. The above "National Treasure Jinkui" is the same as a certain Tongbao and a certain ingot, which is the name of this currency, and "Zhiwan", the straight value, is a piece that can top 10,000 pieces.

Ancient coin collections are generally not included in bronze collections because they are special. To be honest, the artistic value is also relatively low.

However, the currency of the Wang Mang period of the New Dynasty is very distinctive, well-minted, beautiful fonts, and there are many special shapes.

For example, the famous "golden wrong knife", that is, "a knife flat five thousand", the whole is like a key, and on the round "key head", there are two words of "one knife" cast gold. The "Golden Wrong Knife" is also a treasure among ancient coins, and it has been auctioned for more than one million dollars.

"During the Wang Mang period, the coinage pattern was renovated, what "Daquan Fifty", "One Knife Flat Five Thousand", emerge in endlessly, and the artistry of the coins is indeed enhanced, but the common people are unlucky. Yu Yao looked at this national treasure and couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, in just over ten years, the new dynasty has actually had four currency reforms, each time replacing the small one with the big one, inflation, and public discontent. Teng Kunwu nodded at this national treasure Jin Kui Zhiwan, "However, this one is still relatively mysterious, and it is said that only sixty pieces were made." ”

"Like you said, there are only 60 coins, so it's hard to say whether it's just currency. ”

Yu Yao recalled the historical materials he had read, "During the currency reform during Wang Mang's period, there was a money system of 'gold goods and one product', and a pound of gold was worth 10,000 yuan; However, this 'gold goods' money has never been discovered. ”

"Do you suspect that 'gold goods and goods' is actually 'national treasure gold and gold'? But the former is another name, and the latter is the text on the surface of the coin?" Although Teng Kunwu is a master of bronze, he doesn't care much about ancient coins, and he hasn't thought about this issue specifically.

Yu Yao nodded, "It's not that it's impossible." For example, 'one knife flat five thousand' is the text on the face of the coin, isn't it also called 'golden wrong knife' in the collecting world today? The national treasure Jinkui may also have two titles, and there are only 60 pieces, so it may be a sample coin that has been tried to be minted. But this face value is too high! It may lead to no promotion and distribution after the trial casting, and it will be stranded. 'Gold and one product' is in name but not in reality, and 'national treasure gold and gold are all in a mystery'; in fact, they are two words for the same thing. ”

"You love to ponder!"

"I'm just thinking a little more. There are too many theories about the 'National Treasure Gold Treasure Treasure Treasure Gold Treasure Treasure Treasury ”

"I've heard all of this, that's why it's controversial to use. Teng Kunwu thought for a while, "However, your statement of hooking up to 'gold goods and one product' seems to be the most reliable." ”

"I can't really look into this anymore. But it's a rare thing! Otherwise, it wouldn't have been in the Vault!"

If it is said that only 60 pieces were minted at that time, it would have been 2,000 years ago, and it would have been a rarity, let alone now. Nowadays, even if it is sold at auction, it is more likely that it is basically an imitation of later generations, and it is difficult to be recognized as genuine.

Nowadays, the cultural relics in China are determined to be one of the Chinese History Museum, and this one must be recognized.

Associated with it, there is another one.

It is said that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, a farmer near Chang'an ploughed the land and dug out two national treasures, which he later sold. One of these two pieces finally blossomed in the Chinese History Museum, while the other is missing, and there are many theories, one of which is that it was bought by a European.

Yu Yao thought of this layer and couldn't help blurting out, "Old man, this one hidden by the Ghost Eye Gate can't be the one whose whereabouts are unknown during the Republic of China, right?"

Teng Kunwu shook his head, "This, my uncle didn't explain, at that time, he was nervous, he picked the key points." ”

Speaking of this, Teng Kunwu seemed to suddenly remember something, "By the way, my uncle said two words to me in the end, but I never figured out what it meant; There was no turning point that day, and the crane was driven. ”

"Oh, what did he say?"

"Let's go out and talk! This place is too cramped, don't you feel bad?"

The two then returned to the living room of the main house of the second courtyard, and Teng Kunwu also ordered tea.

Originally, after Yu Yao finished reading these four heavy weapons, he wanted to talk about He Wenguang. The knot between this Weng son-in-law is indeed not easy to unravel; but people cannot be resurrected after death, and He Wenguang's remorse and filial piety are also true; for Teng Kunwu, if the resentment has been incomprehensible, and finally brought into the coffin, it is actually not a good thing.

But at this time, Teng Kunwu suddenly said this situation again, and Yu Yao was inconvenient to interject abruptly for a while.

Yu Yao took a sip of tea, and saw Teng Kunwu holding the teacup and opening his mouth, "He grabbed my hand at the time and said two words, the first sentence was: 'The five elements wear gold, and the ghost eye wears gold', the two 'gold' are different." ”

Yu Yaoxin said, this first sentence is very easy to understand, the "gold" of the five elements of gold refers to copper coins, and the "gold" of ghost eyes refers to gold; one real and one virtual, of course, does not mean the same thing, it is different.

"What about the second sentence?"
