Chapter 1511: Ancient Spring Golden Key
After lunch, Huo Sining suddenly remembered what Zhong Zifan said about their return to the magic capital this time in the ring warehouse, and asked casually: "Didn't you say that the return to the magic capital was to meet a friend and collect something, what is it?"
As soon as Liao Song heard this, he couldn't help but be happy: "Hey, I almost forgot, you are an expert in antique identification, it just so happens that you can also go with us to have a look, it is guaranteed to be a rare treasure!"
Huo Sining was suddenly curious when he heard this: "What is it, such a mysterious and mysterious thing, and it makes you fly back from Mincheng all the way?"
Liao Song and Zhong Zifan glanced at each other and said with a smile:
"Actually, we are both laymen, I don't know much about your antique line, I'm more interested in porcelain, but in the early years I knew some friends who were engaged in collecting, they more or less had some collections, this time we were going to find the friend, on the side of the antique street opened a shop, from time to time from the field to collect some goods.

As he spoke, Liao Song took a sip of tea and looked at Huo Sining: "Miss Huo, have you heard of the national treasure Jinkui?"
Huo Sining was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his face changed slightly, and after being silent for a few seconds, he said: "God enters the square hole Qiankun Jian, the long river is looking for the ancient spring, the flash in the pan is new and reckless, and the national treasure is worth ten thousand dollars." Brother Liao, are you referring to this national treasure Jin Kui Zhiwan?"
Liao Song nodded.
A look of surprise flashed in Huo Sining's eyes: "I've only seen this thing in books, and I know that there is one in the Huaxia History Museum, and it is said that there are only two and a half pieces in existence, which belongs to the collection of real national treasures." But I haven't seen what it looks like, and I don't know. Why, what your friend wants to show you, is that ......?"
Before Huo Sining's words were finished, Liao Song nodded and interrupted her.
He said that he had received a few of these things, but he was not sure if they were real, so he contacted a few old experts and planned to come to his shop today to help identify them. We hadn't seen anything before, and we heard it was precious, so we rushed back to open our eyes. ā
If it were other objects, Huo Sining might not be really interested, she was now more concerned about those cultural relics outside the country, and ordinary petty fights could no longer attract her.
But this national treasure is very rich, and Huo Sining has indeed heard of it for the first time in real life, which makes her unconsciously a little curious.
Huo Sining knew that the national treasure Jin Kui Zhiwan had missed a square hole coin at a time, but because she couldn't read the bronze characters on the coin, she went to check the information, and inadvertently turned over some obscure and remote knowledge about ancient coins.
The so-called national treasure Jin Kui Zhiwan is actually a coin minted during the Wang Mang period of the New Dynasty.
Wang Mang is an important member of the Wang family of the Western Han Dynasty, at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the government and the opposition were turbulent, Wang Mang built a new country on behalf of the Han Dynasty, established the founding of the country, and implemented a new policy.
The national treasure Jin Kui Zhiwan is one of the coins of Wang Mang's period.
The currency of the new dynasty has beautiful fonts, excellent casting, and unique shapes, among which such as Daquan 50, Yidaoping 50, etc., are relatively famous treasures, and are often expensive ancient coins with a starting price of one million at auction.
However, the most mysterious, but also the "National Treasure Jin Kui Zhi Wan", this coin has a unique shape, the upper part is in the form of a square hole round money, the face text is the "National Treasure Jin Kui" four words, with a hanging needle seal, the lower part is a square, there are two vertical edges inside, the middle straight book hanging needle seal "Zhi Wan" two words, the top has the word "Tianfu", the body is soft, and the top of the back has the word "Toad Palace".
"National Treasure Jin Kui Zhiwan" is one of the great honorary products in China's ancient coins, because its survival is only two and a half pieces so far, so it is also called one of the fifty treasures of ancient springs in China.
Guquan is another name for ancient Chinese money, because "National Treasure Jin Kui Zhiwan" is likely to be the exchange currency of gold, and the shape of this coin is very similar to a key, so in the fifty treasures of ancient Chinese money, there is also the reputation of "golden key".
The so-called "national treasure Jinkui" is actually the name of the coin, just like the ancient coin circulation stamp, and "Zhiwan" refers to the denomination of the coin, and the meaning of Zhiwan is worth tens of thousands, that is, the meaning of a coin worth ten thousand gold.
This is a special coin, according to legend in the new dynasty Wang Mang period, there was a "gold goods" money system, stipulating that a pound of gold is worth 10,000 yuan, by the government to collect private gold, and then implement the gold state system, and the national treasure gold is 10,000, that is, the government issued to the gold to hand over the gold exchange voucher, with this coin, can be exchanged for the same amount of gold.
However, this statement only belongs to the speculation of later generations, and has not been fully confirmed, because the national treasure Jinkui is not a circulating currency, and the new dynasty is one of the short-lived dynasties in Chinese history, but it has existed for 16 years, so the national treasure Jinkui has not officially entered the circulation field, and has died.
Officially, because of this, the coins themselves are minted in very small quantities, and after 2,000 years, the number of surviving in the world is even smaller.
According to historical records, in the 27th year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, a farmer in Xi'an accidentally found two such coins in the crop field, and these two coins, one was purchased by domestic ancient coin collectors, and the other was bought by the English and flowed directly out of the country. Later, after many rounds of travel, this domestic one was included in the Chinese History Museum by the government.
Since then, more than half of the ancient tombs have been unearthed in the mining and excavation work in China, but only the upper part of the square hole of the "National Treasure Jinkui" is left in this coin, and the lower part of the "Zhiwan" rectangle is missing.
Because the number of minted and surviving is too small, for a long time, the ancient numismatic community has not speculated and disputed about the "national treasure gold scarcity and ten thousand".
It is precisely for this reason that Huo Sining is very suspicious of the "national treasure Jin Kui Zhiwan" in the hands of this friend in Liao Song's mouth.
On the one hand, she didn't believe that there was such a thing on the market, if this "National Treasure Golden Treasure" was really such an easy thing to receive, then what kind of golden key was this thing in the ancient springs?
But on the other hand, Huo Sining still has some expectations, antiques are very mysterious, after all, after such a long historical migration, no one dares to say that there is absolutely none, in the antique world, the legend has long been lost things suddenly pop up, it is not uncommon.
So, in the spirit of hearing and seeing is believing, she had to see it with her own eyes before she could determine whether the coin was real or fake. (To be continued.) )
