Chapter 235: The Emperor Appreciates Himself
Kono Ping did not refuse, and smiled and handed the Big Five Emperor Money in his hand to Tang Yi.
Judging from the material alone, these five emperor coins are all bronze coins. Before Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, copper coins were basically bronze coins, and then gradually switched to brass.
The small five emperor coins are brass, and the big five emperor coins are all bronze. Of course, this is the case on the big picture, and what kind of white copper, red copper, or even silver is used for individual layouts, that is another matter.
Bronze is a copper-tin alloy and brass is a copper-zinc alloy, and bronze rusts more easily than brass. Moreover, the history span of the Big Five Emperor Coins is large, and the time is too long, so the Big Five Emperor Coins will basically have a rust color, unlike the Little Five Emperor Coins, which are not difficult to make a whole set of yellow and bright ones.
Konodaira's string of big five emperor coins is not rusty. In other words, they have never been in the soil, they have been passed down from generation to generation, and they have been going through human hands, so there is only a thick warm pulp.
This point itself is already very difficult, it is not a matter of a few hundred yuan to get together such a set of big five emperor money, and it is worth tens of thousands of yuan to make it up, which has to be in the case of good luck. Yongle Tongbao is good to say that the coins of the Qin, Han, Tang and Song dynasties are too rare, and they have gathered a lot of popularity, and the effect of the so-called town house, evil dissipation, good luck, and prosperity will be much greater.
Of course, if it is just a heirloom without rust color, although it is rare, it still does not surprise Tang Yi. Tang Yi was shocked because he had caught a glimpse of the back of the Great Five Emperor's Qian before.
The text on the front of the copper coin is called the face text, and the text on the back is called the back text. The small five emperor coins all have back texts, or Manchu, or Chinese, or Manchu and Chinese characters, one left and one right.
For example, in the prosperous era of Kangxi, casting Kangxi Tongbao, in addition to the Baoquan Bureau of the Ministry of Households, the back text of the Baoyuan Bureau of the Ministry of Industry is Manchu, and there are more than 20 bureaus around the casting of Kangxi Tongbao's back, the left side is Manchu, the right side is Chinese, which refers to the Foundry Bureau, such as the back text is "same", that is the Datong Bureau, and the back text is Fu, which is the Fuzhou Bureau.
Those who play ancient coins also make up a limerick poem for the common Chinese of the 20th Bureau of Kangxi: Tongfu Lin Dongjiang, Xuanyuan Su Jichang, Nanhe, Ningguang, Zhejiang, Taigui, Shaanxi, Yunzhang.
However, the money of the Big Five Emperors has always been only written in face, and there is no backwriting. In other words, the back is a light board.
Tang Yi took a closer look and found that these five coins all had backing...
Among them, Qin Banliangqian is not strictly speaking, it is not a back text, and it is a circular protrusion on it, a crescent-like protrusion, forming the trend of the sun and the moon. This is often called the back moon and the back star on ancient coins, which are generally formed by casting errors, flowing copper or missing molds. But the sun and moon on this Qin half tael coin seem to be deliberate, with large protrusions and very clear.
The back text of the five-baht coin is the word "Han" with a small seal. The back text of Kaiyuan Tongbao is the word "Tang" in a book. Song and Yuan Tongbao back text, similar to Xingshu, is a "Zhao" character. The back text of Yongle Tongbao is two words, regular script "Daming".
If you let Quanyou, who collects ancient coins, see such a set of Five Emperor Coins, he will definitely shout "a fake". Because of these ancient coins, there has never been a situation of backlogging.
But Tang Yi saw the white treasure light that emerged.
"When the money is opened, it is made alone, and it is destroyed after casting, and the emperor appreciates himself. The number is unknown, but it will not be more than the number of Big Nine. ”
According to the intuition generated in the brain, these coins were kept by the emperor for his own enjoyment when they were first minted, so after they were cast, the mold was destroyed. The amount of such money is unknown, but it will not be more than nine.
"Can you still find such a thing in porcelain?" Tang Yi was a little reluctant to return a string of copper coins to Konohira.
"This Yongle Tongbao is what my father has been collecting... Eternal happiness, eternal happiness, he gave it to me, and I always wear it with me. As a result, in the porcelain capital, I actually found four other coins at once, if I didn't have Yongle Tongbao, I wouldn't believe that there would be such ancient coins. Kono raised his eyebrows, "That's why I bought it at the price of a craft." ”
Tang Yi secretly shouted, no wonder, if it weren't for the Yongle Tongbao with the text in his hand, I am afraid that he would also treat the other four ancient coins as handicrafts. It's just that it is extremely difficult to have four at once.
In the early years, collectors were probably anxious that they did not receive the Yongle Tongbao with the back text, but they didn't want to be sold as a handicraft after a few tosses...
"Looks like the guy who sold it to you was a mallet?" Tang Yi also wanted to know how Kono Ping got it.
Previously, Konohira was in the porcelain capital, and he had never seen the Yuan blue and white character pot, so he had a lot of free time, and in a place like the porcelain capital, he naturally had an informant, and he also had a few pieces of porcelain, but he didn't like it. As a result, the informant once brought two pieces of porcelain along with a round flat wooden box with five small square wooden stakes, four of which were inserted into the four ancient coins.
The ancient coin is round on the outside and square on the inside, and this wooden box is obviously deliberately made. The informant didn't believe that it was genuine, so he said that it was rare to have handicrafts made so exquisitely, and it was also fun to find someone to refine a Yongle Tongbao and make up the money of the Great Five Emperors.
For Konoping, who carries the "Daming" Yongle Tongbao with him, where is this fun? My heart is popping out of my chest... He suppressed his excitement and asked for the price. As a result, these four "handicrafts" are not as valuable as the box, because the box looks like an object from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, or red sandalwood.
In the end, Kono Ping took the box with money and won it for 10,000 yuan.
Kono Taira was quite complacent about the process, and added: "He's not a mallet, as an informant, he has made a lot of money from me, and now it's time to give back." ”
"Damn, this guy's luck is really good, I took down a flower pot made of Le Shoutang for 10,000 yuan and picked up the leak, which is worse than his leak..."
"I've been carrying it with me for the past few days, rubbing it, hoping to bring me good luck." After chatting with Tang Yi for a while, Konohira's mood seemed to be much better.
But Tang Yi's mood deteriorated significantly, "Mr. Kono, I do have something to do, I have to leave early, or do you go around by yourself?" ”
Konohira invited Tang Yi to go shopping together, just to see acquaintances, to make a temporary move, and to relax at the same time. And the reason why Tang Yi agreed to go shopping with Konoping was just to talk a little, but Konoping kept pretending to be confused and didn't say anything, and showed off. Who has time to play with you...
Konodaira also understood, and couldn't help but smile, "Okay, see you later." ”
"See you later." Tang Yi finished speaking and left. Just walked out of ten steps, but suddenly heard Kono Ping scream "sigh" from behind him.
