707.Great Xia Zhenxing (1/5)

Li Du didn't study cultural relics and antiques, but he couldn't disappoint his old classmates, so he released the little flying insect and said: "I'll take a look, but don't get too hopeful, I'm actually a half-ass." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

After the little flying insect appeared, it did not fly to the snuffbox, but flew towards Yao Zhibo, who was silently drinking tea.

To be precise, to fly to his neck.

Li Du was strange, the little flying insect flew to Yao Zhibo's neck and landed on his pendant, which was a copper coin with patina and pulp on it.

Seeing this, he stopped the little flying insect that was about to absorb the energy of time, and then said, "You wait for Ha Lao Xu, old demon, what's the matter with the copper coin around your neck?"

Yao Zhibo took it off casually and said, "Oh, wasn't I weak when I was a child? My parents asked me for a health insurance money from a doctor, and I have been wearing it for many years." ”

Li Du picked up the copper coin and looked at it, after years of sweat and friction, the handwriting on it was a little blurred, and there was a layer of pulp on the surface, which looked inconspicuous.

He asks the little flying insect to turn back time, and scenes about the coin appear.

In the first scene, the coin is already on display, indicating that it is at least three or four hundred years old.

The coin was originally in a box, but a Qing Dynasty man with a bare head in the front and a big braid in the back appeared in the back, wearing a blue robe.

It wasn't until the modern war that the coin was taken out of an old house that was on fire and lost, and it became displaced.

Judging by the old times he saw, the coin should have been precious, and several of its collectors held it in high esteem.

In the past, this ancient coin was well preserved, and the handwriting on it was clear, and Li Du distinguished it, it should be the four words 'Taixia Zhenxing'.

He rubbed the lubricated copper coin and said, "Do any of you know about this ancient coin of Taixia Zhenxing?"

The group shook their heads blankly, and Li Du made a lofty demeanor and said, "Then don't you check on the Internet?"

He didn't know what Daxia Zhenxing was, so he asked everyone to check it on the Internet, and if they found an introduction to this ancient coin on the Internet, he happened to get off the donkey down the slope.

If there was no information about this ancient coin on the Internet, he could have made up a story casually.

Everyone was intimidated by his demeanor and took out their mobile phones to inquire.

Zhang Xuening's mobile phone has the fastest Internet speed, and she was surprised after searching it: "No, belly, this ancient coin of the old demon is Taixia Zhenxing?"

Li Du nodded and said, "Yes, what did you find?"

"Taixia Zhenxing is the Sixteen Kingdoms period of the Great Xia Emperor Helian Bobo minted the ancient coin, the Eastern Jin Dynasty in 407 A.D. in Shaanxi to establish the country called Xia, 419 years after the occupation of Chang'an for the Zhenxing, this coin was minted at this time. ”

"On this ancient coin, Tai is also big, so another name of the ancient coin is called Daxia Zhenxing, of which Daxia is the country name, Zhenxing is the year name, the diameter is 2.35 cm, the diameter is 0.85 cm, and the weight is 3.03 grams, which is extremely precious and extremely precious!"

"How precious?" Du Hang asked anxiously.

Du Zhengnan, who was holding up his mobile phone, was surprised: ", in 2004, an ancient coin of this kind was auctioned for a high price of 1.657 million yuan in Kyoto!

Li Du was also surprised, this coin was so valuable? It was worth more than 1.65 million a few years ago?

The others were even more surprised, and shouted, "me, don't you, show me!" "It's really expensive, this money is very small!"

Yao Zhibo was stunned, he looked at Li Du in a daze, and could only say: "Don't joke, don't joke, don't joke with me!"

Li Du didn't care about pretending to be a master anymore, and took out his mobile phone to search for information.

As Zhang Xuening said, the minting of this copper coin was Helian Bobo, the founding emperor of the "Great Xia Kingdom" established by the Xiongnu during the Sixteen Kingdoms period.

Helian Bobo established Bactria in 407 AD, united with the Eastern Jin Dynasty to defeat the Later Qin, the largest country in the north at that time, and captured Guanzhong from the Eastern Jin Dynasty the following year, becoming the most terrifying hegemon in the northern military strength.

Due to the capture of Guanzhong, a lot of wealth and booty were obtained, so the "Great Xia Zhenxing" is exquisite in materials and exquisite casting, but this kind of money has been little known for a long time because it has survived too little.

Why is it so scarce? It turned out that Helian Bobo, who started by launching a rebellion, had built a deformed state that was militarily powerful and lagging behind in economic and administrative construction, and had no formed administrative divisions at all.

"Daxia Zhenxing" is a kind of "commemorative coin" to some extent, that is, Helian Bo vigorously shows off his wealth and status, because of this, its number will not be very large, let alone a large number of market circulation.

Helian Bobo died in the sixth year of Zhenxing, and two years later, the capital of Great Xia was broken by the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the collapsed Great Xia finally died in 431.

In this way, even if "Daxia Zhenxing" was cast in the first year of Zhenxing, the history of its "legal existence" is only 12 years, and naturally there is not much left.

The rarity and value of this coin are also reliable, and Liu Xihai mentioned this ancient coin in his annotation of Weng Shupei's "Ancient Spring Huikao" during the Daoguang period, saying that the Suzhou collector Gu Yuan had obtained one from a man named Chen Zhongxi, which was very valuable.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, a collector named Luo Zhenyu finally got one, which was cited as a strange item. Luo Zhenyu, who had seen the world, was overjoyed and named his residence "Helian Spring House", which means a house with coins from the Great Xia Kingdom.

More and more information was dug up by them, and they were amazed for a while.

The waiter thought something was wrong inside, so he quickly opened the door and asked, "Is there anything you need?"

Li Du waved his hand and said, "Don't serve food and wine first, we have something to discuss here." ”

He returned the coin to Yao Zhibo, and more than a dozen people went up to look at it together.

This coin is badly worn, and two of the four characters on the ancient coin are ambiguous, of which the words 'big' and 'xing' are quite clear, and the words 'xia' and 'zhen' are relatively vague.

However, careful recognition can still barely make out these two words.

"Is this genuine? Won't it be a counterfeit coin?" Du Hang asked.

Li Du patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, it's absolutely genuine, I dare to guarantee it." ”

Yao Zhibo looked at him blankly and said, "This is worth more than 1.6 million?"

"A few years ago, it's definitely more than that!" someone said.

Li Du shook his head: "This coin can't be sold for more than 1.6 million yuan, it's in average condition." ”

The news about the auction at that time included photographs of ancient coins, which were in good condition.

Yao Zhibo looked at him expectantly and said, "Then how much do you say this coin can be sold for?"

Li Du couldn't bear to disappoint him, so he had to force his composure and said, "Millions are no problem!"
