Yellow gold coins in the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty. Lin refers to Kirin; Horse name; That is, hoof characters. These two are called "foot casting gold" and "horseshoe". According to Records of Hanshu Shihuozhi, Liang Wudi made these two kinds of gold coins by imperial edict out of auspicious cooperation. The former is round cake-shaped, while the latter is oval, concave and hollow horseshoe-shaped. 196 1 year, five pieces of cake-shaped gold engraved with the words "Ganoderma lucidum" were unearthed in the Western Han Tomb of Taibao, Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, with a diameter of 5-6.4 cm and a weight of 2 15-250 grams, and 1974 gold unearthed in Fugou Ancient Town, Henan Province, with a weight of about 276 grams.
2 Jin Dynasty Chengan Baohuo Silver Ingot
Cheng 'an Baohuo silver ingot was cast in the second year of Jin Cheng 'an (AD 1 197). It's a round-headed plate ingot with a slightly concave surface, engraved with the inscriptions "Cheng 'an Baohuo is one and a half minutes" and "Ku □ Bu □", which is not very standard.
Cheng 'an Treasure is a kind of silver coin in the Jin Dynasty, because it was scarce at that time and had a short circulation time, and it had not been discovered before the 1980s. Therefore, the treasure of Cheng 'an is very rare and precious. Because it has not been known for a long time, many numismatics mistake it for the shape of a round square hole. It was not until the 1980 s that people's misunderstanding of Cheng Anbao's goods was clarified.
198 1 year, a semi-"Cheng 'an Treasure" was unearthed in Yangshu Township, Acheng County, Heilongjiang Province (near Huining House in Jindu); In the same year, when the People's Bank of Heilongjiang Province cleared its inventory, it found one and a half "Cheng 'an treasures". These two discoveries caused a great sensation in the field of numerology, and experts and scholars expressed their views one after another. The five pieces of "Cheng 'anbao Goods" found in these two times have the same shape, all of which are saddle-shaped, wide from top to bottom, with circular arcs at both ends, the longest being 4.5 cm, the waist width being 2. 1 cm, the thickness being 0.05 cm, and the weight being 48.8 g, and three water ripples are cast around them. The face writing is the same as charging, and the middle part of the surface is engraved with "Cheng 'an Treasure", "One and a half", "Ku □" and "Bu □" and the charging symbols unique to Jin people, which is not very standardized. Coincidentally, in 1986, the People's Bank of Liaoning Province also found two consignments of Anbao similar to those of Heilongjiang Province. June 1987, Xinghe County, Inner Mongolia, also found a two-and-a-half Cheng 'an treasure. The discovery of eight silver coins from Heilongjiang, Liaoning and Inner Mongolia is of great significance, which has solved the long-standing mystery about the commodities of Cheng 'anbao in the monetary history of China.
