FOREWORD

Welcome to the 32nd issue of the Jour nal of East Asian Numismatics . A highlight of this issue is the correspondence between Bowker and Eduard Kann from January to April 1950, which presents some of their exchanges in the course of purchasing rare Chinese coins. The letters are annotated by our Senior Editor, Bruce Smith. One of the featured articles in this issue is 27 Years in Asian Numismatics which summarizes how the Asian numismatic community has changed over the past almost three decades. Our friend Ron Guth contributes another featured article The Experience of National Salvation Bonds from Singapore and Malaysia written by our good friend Stephen Tai. The article tells the story of how the patriotic overseas Chinese leader, Tan Kah Kee, and others led the overseas Chinese in Singapore and Malaysia to raise national salvation bonds and avoid the stamp duty imposed by the local government. It embodies the deep affection of the overseas Chinese who had their hearts set on China in the background of that time. This issue continues with the second part of Eduard Kann's The Minting History of China . This part introduces the operation of the Central Mint and related regulations. In addition, we have reprinted a review of the work of the Jia Xu Stamp Society in the past three years and the outlook for the future. The article was written by famous philatelist Zhao Shanchang and from the 1937 Jia Xu Philatelic Journal from the Bowker Collection. There has been quite a lot of shows recently. Our Chinese Editorin-Chief, Yuan Shui-Qing, wrote an article on the Silk Road Coin Symposium held in Chengdu at the 2nd Numismatic Culture Festival (Chengdu). Zhang Ansheng reviews the development of Chinese paper notes as a preview for the coming paper money show in Macau. Our American correspondent, J. Matthew Brotherton, reviewed the ANA World's Fair of Money in Pittsburgh. The Series II of the Coin Celebrating the 55th Anniversary of the Issue of the Legend of Chu Liu Xiang was just launched in Hong Kong, and we have shared the story in this issue. In addition, Ge Zukang, a senior collector who attended the coin's first striking ceremony, and Deng Weibin, Head of WPIC in the Asia Pacrfic Region, both wrote articles to share their feelings. Issue 32 also contains articles by our good friend David Vagi, Ancient Coin Collecting for Beginners , and Jeff Garrett, the Impact

of Rising Interest Rates on the Rare Coin Market , which was reprinted with permission from NGC. The 1985 One-Yuan Proof Panda Commemorative Copper Coin appreciated about 250,000 times and realized $30,000 at the December 2022 Heritage auction after 37 years of its issuance. King Chan, NGC's Senior Advisor, wrote the article to explore its origin based on his tracking and research of this coin over the past 20 years. Zhou Bian analyzed the influence of ancient Chinese cash coins on Indonesian coins in his article Chinese-Style Balinese Coins for Sacrifice Rituals Found in Indonesia . The book reviews for Zhang Jun's The Source of Coinage and Zhou Xiang's The Source of Chinese Coins appear in this issue. It is with regret that we learned of the passing of Lee Dodrill and Neil Shafer, which is mourned in this issue. Lee Dodrill has been a close friend and mentor ever since I met him in the early 1990's. We shared a booth at the Tokyo International Coin Convention for many years. It was also an annual event celebrating his birthday on May 1st during the show. We also visited and shared tables at shows in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Maastricht. He will be surely missed by his friends and colleagues. Neil Shafer a legend in the banknote collectable industry was a close friend and mentor. He introduced me to the 1991 American banknote archive sale of Chinese banknotes in New York and for many years was always a pleasure to see him and his son Joel at shows. I did many transactions of Japanese, Chinese, and Korean banknotes with him, as he always handed me an envelope of notes at the beginning of shows for me to look at and we always agreed on a fair price and completed the transaction. He was always willing to help new and old collectors in banknotes and other paper collectible areas and will be surely missed by all. This issue received a contribution from Zhang Shaolong. His article about Chinese and foreign fantasy coins introduces the background of the birth of Chinese and foreign fantasy coins and their interest. We hope that every reader will find an article of interest in this issue. We also look forward to seeing you all at the Champion 2023 Macau Auction on November 26th! Michael Chou Publisher & Editor-in-Chief

collect them, study them and pass them on, so that the culture of Chinese banknotes can be further promoted and glorified.

With the development of economy and finance and the advancement of science and technology, tens of thousands of notes of various types were produced. Especially at the end of the Qing dynasty, the western advanced business concepts and printing techniques were introduced to China, which led the notes to change from the traditional style to the modern banknotes. The provincial official money bureaus printed tael notes, cash notes, and copper coin notes, which were all widely used at the time, and many rarities are hard to find nowadays, which are also wonderfully presented in our exhibition. During the Republic of China period, the central government went through many ups and downs. Private banknotes were abolished, and national banks such as the Central Bank, the Bank of China, the Bank of Communications, and the Fig. 22 1909 Ta Ching Government Bank 100-dollar note

These banknotes played an irreplaceable and positive role in stabilizing the financial system, consolidating the political regime, developing the economy, and relieving the people's livelihoods. In the Northern Expeditionary War and the War of National Resistance, it also made great contributions and had a worldwide impact. The banknotes issued by the Bank of Communications and Bank of China, in particular, are beautifully designed and printed in a wide range of varieties, with many rare and wonderful items.

Remarks: This table is complete. The Mint ceased work in August 1937 owing to the outbreak of hostilities at Shanghai. All the mint bars were shipped abroad and sold there; the same remarks refer to the bulk of the silver dollars produced. Of the original design only $2,260,000 were struck (with three flying birds above the junk). Of these at least 2,200,000 were held back and melted up.

備註:上表數據完整。由于上海爆發日軍侵華戰爭,重要造幣廠于 1937 年 8 月停止運營。所有銀條被運到國外並出售,銀 元同樣如此。造幣廠最初只計劃生產價值為 2 260 000 元的硬幣,後來其中至少有 2 200 000 枚被留下並熔化。

The Experience of National Salvation Bonds from Singapore and Malaysia ◎ Stephen Tai〔 Taipei〕 The National Salvation Bond (Fig. 1) was the first large-scale debt issued to raise funds for the Second Sino-Japanese War by the Republic of China government after the outbreak of the War of Resistance. On September 1st, 1937, the bonds were officially issued, including six face values ranging from ten thousand dollars, one thousand dollars, one hundred dollars, fifty dollars, ten dollars to five dollars, totaling five hundred million dollars. The annual interest rate was 4 %, and the principal would be repaid once a year by drawing lots in the following 30 years from 1941.1

Rising Interest Rates and the Rare Coin Market ◎ Jeff Garrett〔USA〕

Higher interest-carrying costs are one the major factors suppressing bullion prices. The fight against inflation (by raising interest rates) seems to be working, and this further dampens demand. Our companies have been buying substantially more bullion from the public in the last few weeks. Even with greatly compressed premiums, retail buyers for gold and silver bullion have become scarce. It will probably take another headline event to rouse interest in bullion for the near term.

The Journal of East Asian Numismatics Bilingual (English-Chinese) Digital Quarterly

In 1994, The Journal of East Asian Numismatics (JEAN ) was founded by Michael Chou, the CEO of Champion Auction and Bruce Smith, a noted numismatist. It is a professional numismatic academic journal whose mission is to educate collectors and researchers on the subjects of Chinese numismatics, culture and history. Bruce Smith, the chief editor of JEAN , was born in 1951 in St. Louis, MO. He received his BA in history from the University of Missouri St. Louis; and his MA in China studies from Harvard University. In 19741977, he worked for Krause Publications as Editorial Assistant on World Coin News and as cataloger for Standard Catalog of World Coins and Standard Catalog of World Paper Money. He was a full time coin dealer 1977-1987. In 1988-1989, he studied in China as a student of China Studies in Chengchow (Zhengzhou) University, Henan province. In 19911993, Mr. Smith was a graduate student at Harvard University. In 19941998, he was the editor of The Journal of East Asian Numismatics (JEAN) . Bruce Smith has been a collector and researcher of Chinese coins for over 30 years. His published research in JEAN has added immensely to the body of knowledge for Chinese coins. The first issue of JEAN was released in July 1994, and the last issue (18th issue) in 1998. Most articles were written in English, and the remainder in Chinese. The journal was distributed in over 20 countries, and remained a mainstay on many important library shelves, including the Smithsonian Institution, the British Museum, the Harvard Yenching Librar y, Har vard University, Yale University, Columbia University, Stanford University, Cornell University, the ANS (American Numismatic Society), and the ANA (American Numismatic Association). The journal enjoyed great popularity and many important articles were published in JEAN, including Peking Coins of 1900 by James Sweeny, More on the Hsu Shih-Chang Pavillion Medals with engraved names and The true story of China’s 1936 and 1937 Silver Dollars by Bruce Smith, The Apparent
