JEAN Summer 2017 News & Info #3 Bruce W. Smith (USA)

Tsitsihar Mint No modern coins from Heilungkiang were known until

July 1944 when a brass pattern Heilungkiang dragon half dollar was published in the Shanghai journal, Ch'uan Pi

(Quanbi). Then in 1985 the matching dollar in brass turned up in Germany. No further coins in this series were known,

and it was uncertain whether the dollar and half dollar were

genuine. Then in a June 2014 Kunker auction in Germany, the Heilungkiang 20 cents and 10 cents, both in brass, appeared.

Meanwhile, in a June 2012 Kunker sale, a group of more

than 40 dies for Chinese dragon coins and a Sinkiang cash

coin, was offered in a single lot. This lot was sold to Michael Tsitsihar Mint (front)

In the summer of 2017 an Ebay seller in Estonia offered

for sale an old picture postcard depicting two buildings.

According to the Russian inscription on the card, the buildings were the Russian church and the coin mint at Tsitsihar

(Chinese: Qiqihar), the capital of Heilungkiang Province. This is an amazing revelation since previously no mint was known to have ever operated in Heilungkiang - not even a cash coin

mint. Who built this mint, when it was built, and what coins if any it produced is unknown.

The northernmost of the three Manchurian provinces,

bordered by Russia, Heilungkiang was during the Qing

Dynasty an undeveloped preserve for Manchus. In late Qing times, Chinese and Russians began settling in the province, especially after a treaty was signed in 1896 allowing the

Russians to build what became the Chinese Eastern Railway across the province to Vladivostok, and south through Kirin and Fengtien to connect with Port Arthur and Dalien. The railroad was largely financed through the Russo-Chinese

Bank, whose charter allowed it to mint coins to pay railway

workers. In the summer of 1900, Boxer rebels tore up much

of the tracks which had already been laid. Russia sent troops to China, entering Manchuria by land from the north and by river from the south. The Russians occupied the arsenal at Tsitsihar, which had been in operation since the 1880's.

During the Russian military occupation (1900-1905),

work on the railroad was renewed at an excellerated rate, especially during 1901. The Russians also built the Holy

Apostles Peter and Paul church, which was consecrated in

November 1903 and is shown on the postcard. This tells us

that the photograph used for the postcard was taken in 1903 or later, though the mint buildings might have been there earlier.

Chou and in 2016 donated to the Moritzburg Art Museum in Halle (Saale), Germany through the efforts of Michael Chou and Kunker Auction. These dies were produced by the Otto Beh engraving firm on behalf of the L. Schuler machinery

company, which had secured contracts to outfit several mints in China. Among the Otto Beh dies were those for a full set of

five Heilungkiang dragon coins. Documents revealed that Beh had engraved this set of dies in 1899.

Chinese documents show that in 1896 the military

governor of Heilungkiang, En Tse, petitioned the national

government to allow the annual subsidy paid to his province be provided in the form of silver dollars and fractional silver coins of the type made in Kwangtung and Hupeh provinces

[rather than in sycee or cash coins] due to a shortage of coins there. As reported in the North China Herald 14 August

1896, the Board of Revenue ordered that such coins from the Wuchang Mint be sent to Heilungkiang. In 1898 the

province requested that the Kirin Mint make coins for its

use. Judging from this, it is possible that the government

officials in Heilungkiang wished to produce their own coins, ordered equipment and dies from Schuler, and constructed

buildings for the projected mint. These plans were apparently abandoned, perhaps due to the Boxer Uprising in 1900, and no coins were actually struck in Tsitsihar.

A second possibility is that the Heilungkiang coins were

ordered by the Russo-Chinese Bank, under the terms of the

railroad treaty, but for some reason, were never produced. We do know from statements by B. L. Putnam Weale 帕特南·威爾 (Manchu and Muscovite 滿人與俄國人 ; 1904) and Alexander Hosie 謝立山 (Manchuria: Its People, Resources and Recent History; 1902), 滿洲：歷史、人民、資源 both of whom

traveled widely in Manchuria at that time, that the Russo-

Chinese Bank did lease the Kirin Mint during 1901 to produce coinage to pay railroad workers. Interestingly, the center

copper and gold coins at Tsitsihar, inscribed Kirin so they

yin yang symbol during the years Russia occupied Manchuria A third possibility is that the Tsitsihar Mint was not

located in Tsitsihar City, but in the Russian town which grew

up around the railroad, which passed about 15 miles south of the old city, and was called Tsitsihar Station. That land - 14

miles on either side of the tracks - was owned by the railroad under terms of the treaty. According to Weale, who visited Tsitsihar in 1903, the Russians planned to build a Russian town, including an arsenal and powder mill. Perhaps the

Russians did build an arsenal with a small mint attached

during the expanded railroad construction in 1901. What coins would that mint have made? One possibility is the strange,

Russian style, Kirin copper coins with the English inscriptions

all crudely made. Perhaps the Russians planned to produce would be more widely accepted in circulation, but found

their engravers and equipment to be of too poor quality to

be accepted. They might then have asked the Kirin mint to

produce the silver half dollar with English inside banners. The 1901 Kirin copper coins - all extremely rare - are too poorly

made to have been products of the Kirin Mint. The 1901 Kirin half dollar, on the other hand, is too well made to have been

produced by the same mint which produced the copper coins.

Under this theory, the Russians tried to open their own mint in Tsitsihar in 1901, found their efforts unsuccessful, and

instead leased the Kirin Mint. Whatever the answer is to this mystery, the author was happy to purchase the postcard.

Inner Mongolia 70th Anniversary Coins

To commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Inner

Mongolia Autonomous Region, China has issued a set of

three precious metal coins. The obverse of each coin displays the state arms of China with the date below. The 100 Yuan

.999 fine gold coin, measuring 22mm and weighing 8 grams (mintage 10,000 pieces), features a horse running to the right, with inscription above in Chinese and Mongolian,

and denomination below. The 50 Yuan .999 fine silver coin, measuring 70mm and weighing 150 grams (mintage 5,000

pieces), depicts a group of dancers with banners, Chinese and Mongolian inscription above, and the denomination below.

The 10 Yuan .999 silver coin completing the set, measuring

40mm and weighing 30 grams (mintage 20,000 pieces), has a

complex design showing a horse head, a musical instrument, a long scarf, yurts, a wind farm and a highway. China previously issued coins in 1987 commemorating the 40th anniversary of Inner Mongolia.

South Korea To Stop Using Coins by 2020 According to stories in World Coin News, BBC Radio

and elsewhere, South Korea has begun an experiment aimed at eliminating all coins from active circulation by 2020. The

Bank of Korea announced in April 2017 that consumers could accept their change from cash purchases on debit cards at

specified stores. The only stores mentioned which currently

7-Eleven, E-Mart, Lotte Mart and Lotte Department stores.

South Korea's highest denomination coin in circulation, the 500 Won, is worth about U.S. 45 cents; the lowest

denomination note is the 1000 Won, worth about 90 cents.

Korean Coin Riot of 1978 Another story about South Korean coins was published

in the 28 May 2017 issue of the internet magazine, Esylum, published by the Numismatic Bibliomania Society (an organization of numismatic book collectors; see www. coinbooks.org):

The 1978 South Korean Commemorative Coin Riot

South Korean coin enthusiast Mark Lovmo of Minneapolis

writes:

I've written a new article about South Korea's 42nd World

Shooting Championships commemorative coins (KM #22

and #23), released in 1978. This was South Korea's second

domestically-minted commemorative issue and was made for the International Sport Shooting Federation's shooting event hosted in Seoul that year.

Due to some interesting local circumstances at the time in

Korea, the release of the silver commemorative caused a near riot. When was the last time that you've heard the sale of a

commemorative coin that attracted 20,000 people(!) to show up all at the same time?

The story behind the manufacture and release of

these two South Korean commemorative coins is a roller coaster ride of tight deadlines and inadequacies at the

Mint; all thrown in with a meddling big-shot friend of the president of the country. And if it had not been for a lastminute policyexception, the whole thing might not have

happened at all. Such instability surrounding South Korea’s commemorative coin production was apparently the modal

state of affairs in the late 1970s. Leading up to the 1978 release

of these coins, the Korean Mint was still quite new to advanced coin manufacturing processes involving the production of

What followed, from March to July 1977, were five months

of tedious back-and-forth consultations with Chairman Pak over the coin designs as the Bank of Korea and the Komsco

team got bogged down attempting to satisfy the Chairman’s

desires concerning the coins’ appearance down to the tiniest detail. Having a micromanaging third party inserting itself between the Komsco team and the Bank of Korea was an

unusual and frustrating experience that required an extra

effort on the part of the practitioners involved. Despite this

difficulty, the design team finalized work on two designs that ultimately met with Pak’s approval.

By July 25th, the proposed coins also had the approval of

high quality proof coins, and had particular problems in both

the most popular commemorative coins ever issued in South Korea.

As the planning and design phase for the new

commemoratives got underway, the Chairman for the shooting championships, Pak Jong-gyu, made an urgent request to the

junior designers, Ryu Taek-soo ( 류택수 ) and Lee Ye-soo ( 이 예수 ) co-designed the images on the 500 Won coin.

the Mint soon shifted the focus of its design work to preparing the shooting championships coins.

requested a change to the coins’ planned diameter sizes and

specifications, enlarging the silver coin’s diameter from 32mm to 35mm, and the value from 2,500 Won to 5,000 Won. The

denomination of the 500 Won coin remained unchanged but its diameter size was also increased, from 30mm to 32mm.

and finishes for both coins. The Mint determined that the cost per unit to mint the 5,000 Won silver coins was 3,849 won, 62 jeon each; and each of the 500 Won copper nickel coins cost 179 won, 10 jeon.

The minting of the Shooting Championships

commemoratives saw the strictest quality-control measures

applied to South Korean coins up to that time; and accounting for errors and damaged coins, 97.3% of the total coins of the

official mintage were actually issued. These commemoratives

rushed to the Bank of Korea building from various corners of the front doors, released by the lifting of the citywide curfew (one that was enforced from midnight to 4 a.m. nightly in

South Korean cities from September 1946 to January 1982).

The crowd had flocked to purchase one of the six thousand 5,000 Won silver coins that were to be sold from the Bank

building that day. The Bank’s remaining allotment of 12,000

silver coins, to be released the following day, were expected to attract an even larger crowd.

What would explain the public’s newfound interest in a

placed severe restrictions on precious metals imports, the

Korea’s first domestically-minted, and locally-released, silver were also the first South Korean coins to be minted in two

different proof finishes (proof and frosted proof), although

the 500 Won commemoratives, most of which were minted as business strikes, made up the majority of the total coins.

Officials at the Bank of Korea intentionally limited the

total mintage of both coins to 1.1 million; far fewer than the five million total coins minted for the South Korea’s first domestically-made commemorative coin, the 30th

Anniversary of Liberation 100 Won coin that was released in 1975. That experience had taught them that issuing millions

of commemorative coins in a country where citizens were not familiar with the concept of a “commemorative coin” was not exactly a recipe for success. In an effort to avoid repeating the mistake, currency planners had hoped to enhance the

commercial value of the Shooting Championships coins by

striking some of them in silver, and by keeping their numbers to a relatively smaller overall mintage while also striking a

small minority of both coins in different proof finishes. Other

promotional efforts included purposely marketing the coins to foreign visitors attending the shooting event, to other tourists visiting South Korea, and to collectors.

Coin Melee

It is hard to believe that the sale of a commemorative coin

in South Korea could have had people lining up all along the street and around the corner. The release of the 42nd World Shooting Championships 5,000 Won silver commemorative coin did just that.

little about them just a couple of years before? As South Korea coin’s silver content probably had something to do with it, and that fact probably played into another phenomenon that was taking place at the time.

In 1978, many Koreans were benefitting from an improved

economy, and some households were flush with cash from massive remittances sent home by Korean construction

workers in Persian Gulf states, which had contracted Korean

businesses to develop their infrastructure. Back in Korea, legal restrictions did not allow people many choices for investing

any of this new money. Hard assets, such as land, were almost the only options. Indeed, the latter part of the 1970s was

characterized by a real estate boom south of the Han River in

Seoul in which farmers were becoming millionaires overnight by selling their once-inexpensive farmland to developers.

The environment was ripe for the country to experience a

“speculation craze.” Real estate was not the only area where

this speculation fever existed. Precious metals were another.

The coins became an instant magnet for investors when

reports surfaced on June 12th about those lucky few who had

purchased one of the new silver coins and then quickly sold it within minutes for a hefty profit.

So when the 4 a.m. curfew lifted the following morning,

all hell broke loose at the Bank of Korea.

TAMS Journal on Chinese Tokens and Medals The July-August 2017 issue of Token and Medal Society (TAMS) Journal

contains three articles of interest to Asian collectors. The first is a long article, "Chinese-American Tokens Sampler No. 3" by Jerry F. Schimmel. This is the third part of a series begun in the September-October 2016 issue, offering a

randomsampling of tokens issued by Chinese-Americans, mostly in California.

Schimmel is the author of "Chinese-American Tokens from the Pacific Coast" (2009 & 2014), the most comprehensive catalog of such tokens.

The second is an article by Ronald J. Benice on two medals awarded to

Chinese-American Lue Gim Gong (1858-1925) for his prize oranges. Born in a village near Canton, he arrived in the United States in May 1871, living first in Massachusetts. In 1886 he moved to DeLand, Florida where he managed an

orchard. Over the years he developed different varieties of oranges, eventually

selling the rights to one of his oranges to Glen St. Mary Nurseries, which is still

in business today. He was awarded the Marshall P. Wilder Medal in 1911 for the development of one of his oranges. The article describes the two medals and their background.

Finally there is a full page review by James Contursi of the new book,

"Taiwan's Tokens" by Yuan Ming-ta. This 207 page, full color book is the first catalog of Taiwan tokens. See review elsewhere in JEAN .

MegaRed Adds Appendix on Chopmarks The most popular and authoritative catalog of American

coins is "Guide Book of United States Coins" by Richard

Yeoman. Known affectionately as the "Red Book" it has been published annually since 1947. In recent years an expanded and much larger version of the book has been published,

known as "MegaRed". The third edition, released in 2017,

contains among its many appendices, a ten page section with 30 photos on Chopmarks. This section was contributed by

Colin Gullberg, author of "Chopmarked Coins - A History" published in 2014, and editor of the journal "Chopmark News."

Chopmarked Coin Collection In Stacks Bowers Sale Session 6 of the Stacks Bowers auction at Baltimore 31

March 2017 offered 70 lots of chopmarked coins. Most of the

host coins were U.S. Trade Dollars but a number of Chinese dollars were also in the unnamed collection.

Taiwan 1954 Five Chiao Commemorative The first coins for the Republic of China on Taiwan,

minted during 1949-1955, all feature a profile of Sun Yat Sen on the obverse and a map of Taiwan on the reverse. These

coins are all listed in western catalogs as ordinary circulating coins. One of them, however, is different. The aluminum-

bronze 5 chiao (50 cents) dated 43rd year (1954) also has a date below the bust: 5th month 20th day (May 20th). In a

letter of 15 December 1954, Howard Bowker thanks Edward Kann for sending him an example of the coin and asks what it commemorates. On the 19th of December Kann writes

東 亞 泉 志

THE JOURNAL OF EAST ASIAN NUMISMATICS

Departments 部門 Three years later, in the December 1957 Numismatist

article "Coinage of the Chinese Emigre Government", a

supplement to his catalog, compiled with David Graham (a U.S. government official serving in Taiwan), Kann records the coin and mentions its commemorative purpose. The

coin is recorded today by the old Yeoman number, Y535, in the Krause Standard Catalog of World Coins, but not as a

commemorative. According to Kann, the coin was designed

(or perhaps he means engraved) by Mae Pao-koo (Mai Pao-

ku; pinyin Mai Baogu). Oscar Dodson's article on the Taiwan

Mint, "Mint In Exile" (CoinAge Magazine, August 1966), calls

him Mak Po Kuk. I have confirmed that President Chiang was indeed sworn in as president on 20 May 1954. In addition,

the Bank of Taiwan was indeed reorganized on 20 May 1946, so this coin could also have celebrated the 8th anniversary of the bank. The coin did not stay in circulation for very long.

Inflation in Taiwan eventually made the copper in the coin more valuable than the coin itself.

Vietnam Hand Engraved Gold Bar in Hong Kong Sale Silver and gold bars from the kingdom of Annam

(Vietnam) are often seen in coin auctions, but the Stacks Bowers Hong Kong Sale of 14-16 August 2017 offered

something different. Lot 61005 is a one Lang gold bar

weighing 36.2 grams (43x12x5mm in size) inscribed in

Vietnamese: "Tu Duc Nien Tao" (Chinese: Si De Nian Zao)

obverse, and "Hoang Kim Nhat Tien" (Chinese: Huang Jin Yi Qian) on the reverse. What is unusual about this bar is that

it is entirely hand engraved, obverse and reverse. According

to the description, the edge is decorated with a vine or floral design. This piece looked suspicious, but a check of the old standard work, "Annam - Etudes Numismatique" (1905)

by Albert Schroeder (condensed version "Albert Schoeder's Gold and Silver Coins of Annam" (1968) edited by Bernard

J. Palmer and John A. Novak), reveals two series of hand

engraved gold bars. The first (Schroeder 194 and 196) are

undated but attributed to the Ming Mang reign (1820-1840).

The second (Schroeder 396) is inscribed as being from the Tu Duc reign (1848-1883) but in a weight of 10 Lang. The one

Tien bar in the Stacks Bowers sale is from this series. The only other sale of a hand engraved gold bar from Annam recorded

in my files, was sold in a Glendening (London) sale of 30 June 1965. That bar, Lot 26, was a 5 Tien bar. It is unclear why

most of the Annam gold bars are finely made and decorated, while these two series are crudely hand engraved. Perhaps

the engraved bars were privately made or made for private

transactions, while the fancy bars were officially made for tax purposes.

Fred Knust (1944-2017) Cash coin collector and part-time dealer, Fred Knust of

Mason, Michigan passed away on June 20th at the age of 73.

Fred attended Yamato High School on Tachikawa Air Force

Base in Japan. He served 25 years in the United States Navy, including four years in Vietnam, retiring as a Lieutenant

Commander. He received a BA degree in Far Eastern Studies

from the University of Michigan, and an MA degree in

Political Science from Michigan State University. He worked

as a statistician for the state of Michigan until his retirement in 1989. He was active in YMCA, Rotary Club and the Boy Scouts of America. Modest and likable, he was a welcome sight at coin shows in the midwest. He will be missed.

James Oliver Sweeny (1917-2012) Another passing in recent years was that of James

more than 20 years researching this subject, publishing his definitive work on the coins in 1995. Sweeny knew in the

early 1970's that the Howard Bowker collection contained

some of the Peking coins. Ward Smith informed him that the

collection had been willed to the Smithsonian Institution, but they had failed to take possession of it. Sweeny contacted the

Smithsonian several times over the following years about the

Bowker collection but never received a serious response. They finally told him in 1982 that they believed the collection had

been sold to a coin dealer in Taiwan, and Sweeny quit looking for it. Now we know that the Bowker collection had been

Book Review

By Bruce W. Smith (USA) Collecting and Investing in Struck [Chinese] Copper Coins Unlike Duan's earlier works, this is not a catalog of struck

Chinese copper coins, but a guide to collecting them. The

book is divided into three sections. The first is a brief history of struck copper coins and an introduction to the literature

on the subject, beginning with the English language works by

Ramsden, Ros and Woodward during the first half of the 20th century, and continuing to the numerous Chinese language works published in China and Taiwan since the 1970's. The second section, the main part of the book, introduces the

types and varieties of Chinese struck copper coins, arranged by province. The last section, on collecting and investing in

struck copper coins, contains enlarged photos of rosettes and other decorations to help identify varieties; notes on grading,

cleaning and fake coins; tips on housing and caring for copper coins; and information on coin auctions and numismatic websites.

This work is part of a series of books "Collecting and

Investing in ....." which includes: Struck Silver Coins by

Tang Zhongping (2009) ISBN 9787801785923; Folk Coins

China Financial Bonds

By Liu Bo, Hong Kong, 2013, 183 pages, color photos. Chinese text. ISBN 9789624504439 soft cover This book covers an unusual subject, Chinese commercial

(investment) bonds, but the bonds are actively collected in China. The bonds listed here are bearer bonds in the size

and shape of ordinary currency, issued between 1985 and

1992 (except for one 1993 issue), mostly in values from 50 to 1000 yuan. Though some of the bonds were issued by local investment companies and local banks, most were issued by various national banks and their branches, including

the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC), the

Agricultural Bank of China, the Peoples Construction Bank, the Bank of China, and the Bank of Communications. More than 150 bonds are illustrated, front and back, in full color, with charts summarizing the details. Most of the bonds

illustrated are specimens, though others have been issued and cancelled. I suspect all of these bonds are now obsolete and valueless, as China has gone to non-paper digital bonds.

By Niv Horesh, Yale University Press, 2009, 240 pages, not illustrated. English text. ISBN 9780300143560 This is a scholarly study of notes issued by British banks

in China, primarily the Chartered Bank and the Hong Kong

and Shanghai Bank. The flyleaf states "Drawing on recently

declassified archival materials, Niv Horesh revises previous assumptions about China's prewar economy, including the extent of foreign banknote circulation, and the economic

significance of the May 30th Movement of 1925". Invoices from the London printer of notes for the Hong Kong &

Shanghai Bank show that the bank was planning to increase its note issue in China in 1925, but as a result of the strike, actually reduced its circulation. Niv Horesh is Lecturer

in Chinese Studies at the University of New South Wales, Australia, and the author of several books and articles on paper money issued by foreign banks in China.

A History of Foreign Banks in Modern China This is more of a technical study than a history of specific

banks. Filled with statistics and tables, with footnotes from more than 170 works. The book concludes with a chart of

over 150 foreign banks which have operated in China (most of

which did not issue currency there), showing their nationality, date of organization, date opened in China, name changes and branches in China.

Jiang Jianqing was born in Shanghai in 1953. He

graduated from Shanghai University of Finance & Economics in 1984 and later received M.A. and PhD degrees from

Shanghai Jiao Tong University. In 1986 he joined the staff of

the Industrial & Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) as a teller.

In 1993 he was appointed vice-president of the Shanghai

branch of the bank. Two years later he became president of the Bank of Shanghai, and in 1997 became president of the ICBC Shanghai branch. In 1999 he was promoted to vice-

president of the entire bank, and during 2000-2005 served as president of the bank. Since the bank's restructuring in

2005, he has been the chairman of the board of the bank and Communist Party chief. The ICBC is the world's largest bank

library of Ma Dingxiang which were donated to the Zhejiang

Provincial Museum in Hangzhou. Among the items are books,

periodicals, correspondence, photographs, rubbings and seals.

As one of the founding members of the Shanghai Numismatic Society and its secretary, Ma knew many famous collectors

and was able to make rubbings of their most important coins.

Among the more unusual items in the donation is a set of

the magazine "Quanbi Zhi You" (Friends of Numismatics), published by Ma Dingxiang during 1983-1984. Only nine

issues were published. Another surprise in Ma's donation is a set of photographic plates of machine struck silver coins

from the Eduard Kann collection taken in 1949 before Kann left Shanghai for the United States. The plates are inscribed

in Chinese and English "Photographs of Chinese Rare Coins

Authenticated by T. S. Ma" (that is, Ma Ting-hsiang). Fourteen plates are illustrated (pages 114-115) but there must be more,

as each plate shows only one side of each coin -- one of which is the blank reverse of a dollar.

The Fourth National Numismatic Collection Exhibition Held in Wuhan Yuan Fang (Xi'an)

Pic.1-1 A group photo of all the participants by Wuhan Fortune Film on July 22, 2017 On July 22 and 23, 2017, the Fourth National Numismatic

Collection Exhibition (Pic.1) was held at the Governor's House of Bashan Night Rain Hotel in Wuhan. It was jointly hosted by the China Collectors Society, the Numismatic Collection

Committee, and the presidium of the National Numismatic Collection Exhibition, and organized by the Coin Branch of

the Hubei Collectors Society. More than 400 visitors from all

around the country braved the intense summer heat to gather for this large-scale numismatic exhibition. All sorts of coins

were on display this time, and the majority were ancient coins.

Luo Bojian, the president of the China Collectors Society,

attended the exhibition and delivered a speech at the opening ceremony.

A brief speech was delivered by the president Luo Bojian

(Pic.3), in which he said, "The numismatic culture of China has a long history. In the course of coin protection and

propagandizing, the State-owned collection has always played a dominant role, while the private collection emerging as a

powerful force in Chinese coin collecting has been developing continually. After the reform and opening up, it's the best

time for the private collection to develop. The community of

Chinese coin collectors has been rapidly growing. We are very much at the beginning of the coin collecting, so we should seize this opportunity. Everyone in this room has a great

passion for coin collecting and holds high expectations for the exhibition. I hope that everyone comes full of expectations, and leaves with the best of your favorite coins." Then we

started discussion. The exhibition ended on the afternoon of July 23.

were exchanged actively. Around 2,000 people per day traded coins, which caused the hall to be very crowded (Pic.5). The

merchants who had not booked booths had to set up stalls in

open spaces inside the exhibition hall. No foreign coin lovers or dealers participated, but foreign banknotes were seen on the bourse floor.

Champion Auction and its publication The Journal of East

Coins and Nanjing Shang Ding displayed a large variety of

their coins. Companies such as Shanghai En Jie, Shanghai Coin Identification, and Sichuan Golden Shield provided advice. A number of companies offered coin grading and

authentication services. Companies such as Beijing Gong Bo

coin collector, visited the booth and exchanged views on the prospects of modern gold and silver coins and the casting

defects of coins as well as the auction item solicitation with Michael Chou, the president of Champion Auction (Pic.6).

the 2017 Champion Summer Hong Kong

Numismatics (JEAN) is sent to around 10,000 mailboxes. A large number of

collectors came to the booth to register

their contact details hoping that they could soon see the only professional numismatic bilingual (English-Chinese) digital journal in Asia, which has exerted more and more influence.

Pic. 9 Chen Huanlong and his purchased copper coins (15.2 g, 51.3 mm)

The editors of The Journal of East Asian Numismatics

(JEAN) are very concerned about new academic achievements.

They communicated with dealers and several authors of books such as The Illustrated Handbook of Versions of Qing Dynasty

Coins , Classic Chinese Charms , Random Talks on Chinese Copper Coins , and Chinese Modern History of Headgear

Tushuo (Pic. 7). In addition, the Fourth National Numismatic Collection Exhibition commemorative medal issued by the

hosts, with a limited mintage of 300 and a weight of 35g, was sold at price of 280 RMB. It was very popular (Pic. 8).

Many different currencies exhibited at 150 booths

covered 4,000 years of history. Among these currencies, ancient coins accounted for nearly half, machine-made

coins and modern currencies separately accounted for two

tenths and three tenths of all the coins. This reflects that the collecting of ancient coins has been a mainstream collecting

area all the time, the number of machine-made coin collectors remains stable, while the community of modern currency

collectors has rapidly grown. The visitors were mostly young and middle-aged people; what they talked about reflects the general trends of the coin market. On the whole, no matter what kind of currency, coins and banknotes in high grades

are very popular and priced very high, which indicates that condition is the key. A visitor said humorously," A coin in

high grade, like a girl who is pretty attractive, has a high price naturally."

In terms of the classification of coins, the ancient coins

mostly got no rating, and little attention was paid to even

high-class ancient coins. Compared with the same period of 2016, the price of Qing dynasty coins has doubled, the price of Chinese Charms has generally been increased, especially

Chinese hanging Charms. Take the Qian Long Tong Bao coin

was priced at 5 RMB, a coin 25 to 26 millimeters in diameter was priced at 15 RMB, while a 27 to 28 millimeter diameter

coin was priced at around 500 RMB. A collector from Wuhan bought 30 Yong Zheng Tong Bao coins at a price of 7,100

RMB. The Yong Zheng Bao Nan coin was priced at 10,000

design of both felicity and longevity on the reverse, was sold for 1,500 RMB, which had a price of 300 RMB in 2016.

A discriminating collector is lucky to get good coins

done much research on pattern money over the past ten years, was very excited to spend 1,500 RMB on a Ji Xiang house

in sixth avenue fan-shaped copper coin, with the inscription

"rui yuan auspiciousness" on the reverse, issued by the bank in the early period of the Republic of China. He said, "It's

Departments 部門 the first time I have seen this coin; it is the only one at the exhibition."(Pic. 9)

The market of machine-made coins showed a trend of

stable increase, the 1914 Yuan Shih-kai portrait plain coin was priced at 680 RMB. The shiny and silvery replica silver coins with natural patina and rust color were exhibited in bulk,

and entry-level collectors could hardly distinguish between a

genuine coin and a replica (Pic. 10). The prices of these replica coins are listed as follows: the 1914 Yuan Shih-kai portrait

replica coin was priced at 150 RMB, the 1920 Yuan Shih-kai

portrait replica coin was priced at 200 RMB, the Yuan Shih-

kai portrait in hat and uniform replica coin was priced at 800 RMB. It can be seen that there is a long way to go to crack down on fake goods.

The price of banknote has rebounded, especially

banknotes of the Republic of China. The top modern

banknotes were expensive, the 1953 ten yuan note (the

RMB. A 30 year old collector with the surname of Lyu who has collected coins for five years, spent 64,000 RMB on

two examples of the 1962 one dime banknote with green

watermark on the reverse issued by the PBOC. He said, "If

like it , it hardly matters if the price is a little bit higher." The youth was particularly keen on the certified currencies, he

told the author that he only collected the currencies certified

by American certification companies like PCGS and NGC,

for some reasons the grading of the domestic certification

companies tended to be inauthentic. Although what he said is an isolated comment, it is worth a thought.

The exhibition was so rewarding. According to Cao

Wang Haiyan’s Tibetan Coin Collecting and Research

By Yuan Shuiqing (Xi’an) The numismatic history of Tibet has been deeply

influenced by the monetary culture of bordering Nepal. Local money in the form of silver coins had circulated for a long

time in Tibet before being replaced by the renminbi (RMB)

in 1959. To learn more about the monetary history of Tibet,

I interviewed Wang Haiyan, a well-known expert of Tibetan money.

I had two interviews with Wang Haiyan. We first had

a short talk during the Third National Coin Exhibition on

September 9, 2016, in Zhengzhou (Pic 1). He won the “First

Chinese Top Ten Chinese Collectors” during that exhibition (Pic 2). We had another series of conversations by phone

Pic. 1 The first interview between the author and Wang Haiyan (right). This photo was taken in Zhengzhou on September 9, 2016

on May 8 and May 9. I have summarized the two interviews below.

Wang Haiyan, born in Changchun City, Jilin Province in

1957, and worked in Tibet for 10 years after graduating from Changchun Teachers College in 1982. During that time, he first taught in Lhasa Normal Junior School for three years

and then worked in the archaeological team of the Tibetan

Council of Antiques for seven years. In 1991, Wang Haiyan

was transferred to the Changchun Council of Antiques and

then to the Changchun Museum of Antiques as an associate

researcher in 2000. His rich working experience and a longtime of collecting and researching has made Wang Haiyan a well-known Tibetan coin collector and expert in Tibetan currency history.

1. Mr. Wang, we know you once taught history in Lhasa Normal Junior School from 1982 to 1985. Can you tell us how you became interested in Tibetan coins?

Pic. 2 Wang Shihong (left) gave the“First Chinese Top Ten Chinese Collectors” award to Wang Haiyan on the night of September 10, 2016

Wang Haiyan: I took a flight with my colleagues from

Chengdu to Tibet and registered in the Education Department of the Tibetan Autonomous Region on October 10, 1982. I went to Barkhor Street with my friends on our first day in

Tibet. There, I saw a Tibetan silver coin with a single circle on both sides and bought it for 80 cents. Strangely, I went there

with double circles in the center on both sides; the second

and the third version with a circle on both sides (circles are of different sizes)”. Such coins are very rare. No wonder I

didn’t encounter another piece later. From then on, I started to collect Tibetan coins and notes. The precious silver coin I bought is 26.40 mm in diameter, 5.18 grams in weight and

was donated to the China Numismatic Museum in 1997 (Pic 3).

Features 專題 2. Where do you get your coins? Do you have any rare coins or patterns?

Wang Haiyan: I used to knock around the market

looking for coins. In these years, I visited every corner of

Barkhor Street and knew all the dealers there. If you want to collect coins, you must be persistent, learn about the

numismatic history of Tibet and know which kinds of coins were produced by which mints. For this reason, I have

searched through a large amount of materials and never

Pic. 4 The copper pattern of a 50 tael silver coin, 34.8mm in diameter

stopped collecting Tibetan coins.

My salary was 105 yuan a month when I first went to

Tibet. To save money for coins, I lived very economically

and usually bought “San Qi”cigarettes which cost only 37

cents. The price of Tibetan coins was very cheap at that time.

Collectors could spend 10 cents to buy a copper coin or buy a silver coin for [the price of] three yuan. I spent almost all

Pic. 5 The “24 dots” silver coin (the 61th year of Qianlong)

my money in Barkhor Street buying various Tibetan coins.

Almost all Tibetan coins were/could only be used in Lhasa,

that’s why I could buy so many coins there. Only some copper coins which had been issued in large numbers and silver coins circulated in other regions. After ten years of effort, I have

got almost every version of each Tibetan coin and also bought two dies of coins. Among these coins, there are a dozen of

rare pieces, like one of the two Kangxi 59th year 5 cents silver coins known to exist; two pieces of the Qianlong 61th year silver patterns (only several dozens are known to exist); a

1951 copper pattern of a 50 tael silver coin. Only two 1951

copper patterns have been found and the other one is owned

by the Tibet Numismatic Society. My piece appeared in China

Numismatics in 1992 (Pic 4). I donated all these precious coins to the China Numismatic Museum in 1997.

3. The Qing government never produced any coins in Tibet before the reign of Qianlong (r. 1711-1796). The government officially promulgated the Authorized Regulations of Tibetan Problems in 1793 and ordered the set up of the Bao Zang Bureau to produce “Qian Long Bao Zang” silver coins in Tibet according to specimens issued by the central government. This was the first time that a Chinese authority imitated foreign coins. Are there any Bu Ban coins produced in the 61th year of Qianlong?

Wang Haiyan: Those two pieces of Qianlong 61th year

Pic. 6 The “36 dots” silver coin（the 61th year of Qianlong) dots, Qian Long Bao Zang” As there are 24 dots on the edge of

its obverse, this type of coin is also known as “24 dots” (Pic 5).

The “36 dots” was produced after the “large character, large pattern”, the “large character, small pattern” and the “small character, small pattern” versions of “24 dots” (61th year of

Qianlong) silver coins. There are 36 small and compact dots on both sides of this coin. Characters on it are regular and tight (Pic 6).

The Bao Zang Bureau got 1 mace and 5 cents Bu Ban

patterns of the “1st year, Jia Qing Yuan Bao” in 1796. The production of the 61th year of Qianlong silver coins then ceased.

4. Are there any fake Tibetan coins or notes on the market? What are the features of these forgeries?

Wang Haiyan: Yes, fake Tibetan coins and notes have

After being affixed with the seal of the Prince Regent, real

high denomination of 100 tam in 1937. All Tibetan notes were withdrawn from circulation from July 15, 1959. Collectors

should be very careful in buying notes issued in these years.

5. Tibet was peacefully liberated on May 23, 1951.

Afterwards, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army brought a large number of 1914 Yuan Shikai silver dollars which were trusted by the Tibetan people to buy materials the Army needed. It is said that the Central Government authorized the Shenyang Mint to forge a number of 1914 silver coins when real ones were used up. What are features of these fake coins?

Wang Haiyan: The value of Tibetan currency had

sharply declined before the People’s Liberation Army entered Tibet. At first, people could buy a cow for 100 tael, then they could only buy a small bag of tsamba (a form of porridge) or 20 pieces of cake for the same price. In addition, the quality of silver coins was becoming worse and worse. To make up the deficit, the Central Government ordered the People’s

Liberation Army to bring a large amount of 1914 Yuan Shikai silver dollars to purchase, do charity, pay for service, issue loans and subsidies when Tibetan people had no reliable

money to use. According to statistics, over 1,380,000 silver

coins had been issued as low-interest and interest-free loans for the agriculture, stockbreeding and handicraft industries.

The State Council gave the Tibetan government a subsidy of 4,000,000 silver dollars, including 900,000 pieces of well-

Characteristics of the fake coins produced by the

Shenyang Mint are: the trianglar-shaped “Yuan”; a thinner

than normal wheat ear; and a long wheat awn, but not the “0” version (Pic 8).

6. You have written two books, Chinese Tibetan Coins and Local Currency of Tibet either by yourself or with others. Can you introduce the brief history of Tibetan currency and the direction of your further research?

Wang Haiyan: To make achievements, collectors must

study the history of currency first. This is my experience.

Chinese Tibetan Coins was edited by the Tibetan Autonomous Region Numismatic Society. Zhu Jinzhong, an invaluable expert of Tibetan currency in China was the chief editor

and I was his associate editor. The book was published by

China Book Company in 2002, and is a comprehensive book about Tibetan money (Pic 9). This book won the National

Book Award and the “Jin Quan” Award, the highest prize of numismatic research.

into several stages, which are Nepal coins; coins minted

by Tibetan government ( three times); coins minted by the

Bao Zang Bureau, silver coins produced by the Tibetan local government. Various types of coins or versions in different denominations were produced by a lot of mints in Tibet.

Speaking of my further research, I want to finish editing

Encyclopedia of Tibetan Currency first, and then spend three years publishing another book, History of Tibetan Currency .

7. Can you introduce the present situation of Tibetan coin collecting?

Wang Haiyan: Generally speaking, the research and

collecting of Tibetan coins still remains at the initial stage.

There are about 50 or 60 collectors specializing in Tibetan

currency in China, including over ten scholars in Tibet. Only two of these collectors are real “expert”. There are some

foreign Tibetan coin collectors, such as Nicholas Rhodes (died 2011), the treasurer of British Royal Numismatic Society, and Dr. Volwoods from Germany. Nicolas Roth mainly collects

coins of East Asia including Tibetan coins. Doctor Volwoods

The discovery of some rare gambling coins of emperor Wu Thomas Uhlmann (Germany) The collection Richard Schlösser at the Museum August Kestner, Hannover. One of the most important European collections of Asian coins.

Prof. Dr. Richard Schlösser (Pic. 1) (1879 - April 1,

1962) worked in his home town at the “Kunstgewerbeschule

Hannover” as a professor of art. His artistic work can still be admired today at the town hall Hannover in the plaster and gold mosaic arches.

In addition to his profession, he was interested in the

coinage of China and its neighboring countries. During the first decades of the 20th century, he amassed one of the

largest collections of Asian coins. He published several essays

on this subject in various magazines. His most comprehensive work, "China's Coins", published in 1935, is the description of the coin collection of the Franciscan Monastery Museum in Dorsten, Germany. The book also describes pieces from his own collection.

His collection was already organized and identified by

him in 1937. During his lifetime, the Stadtparkasse Hannover museum purchased the collection in 1959 for 36,000 DM

(Deutsch Marks). The collection was immediately handed over to the August Kestner Museum. From the 30th of

Pic. 1 RichardSchloesser1959 2nd form left

October until the 31st of December in 1959 the collection was presented to public under the title "Four Thousand Years of Chinese Money" at the cash office of the Sparkasse.

On July 14, 1959 the Hamburger Abendblatt newspaper

reported:

"The city of Hannover has acquired the largest and most valuable collection of Chinese coins in Europe for its Kestner Museum. The collection, which had been ammassed by the now 84-year-old Richard Schlösser, consists of more than 5.000 coins from the period of about 2.000 BC to the present day. In the professional numismatic world the collection is well-known."

The newspaper description of the collection as the largest

special collection in Europe only referred to private collections because an even larger collection of Asian coins was already known to be located in the British Museum. However, it is

one of the most extensive collections in this field with a broad range across the history of Chinese coinage. The pieces range from the origins of the cowry shells, their replicas in stone,

As part of a review and an investigation of the stock of the

August Kestner Museum in Hannover, I had the opportunity to classify, examine and partly re-identify this collection.

Pic. 3 Mingsu Qian relation to his own description of his collection of 4,600 coins which can be found in the preface of the book China’s Coins , the collection had increased by another 2,000 coins by 1959 despite the Second World War.

The collection consists of coins from the following

countries: 5,560 Chinese coins, 312 Korean coins, 265

Japanese coins, 169 coins from Annam, 85 coins from Hong

Kong, 11 coins from French Indochina, 5 coins from Mongolia, 2 German-Kiatschou coins, 1 Dutch India coin, 1 medal of the German Empire, 1 medal of the French Republic, 34 undefined Asian pieces and 127 Roman coins.

My special interest was aroused by 8 coins, which

according to the old description, represent very early round coins. In the western literature these pieces can only be

found in the description of the catalogue of Chinese coins of

the British Museum by Albert Étienne Jean Baptiste Terrien de Lacouperie. Although the descriptions there are not very

extensive, Richard Schlösser and Horst Hubert jointly made this interpretation.

With the help and information from Prof. Sven

Günther and Prof. Fu of the Institute for History of Ancient Civilizations, Northeast Normal University, Changchun (China), it was possible for me to identify these pieces correctly.

Similar coins with the Chinese character ' 第 ' were found

at an excavation at grave II in Mancheng, Hebei Province. Due to the archaeological information, the period of origin can be assigned to Emperor Wu of the Han dynasty (141-87 BC).

Emperor Wu is also called the last great emperor of the

Han Dynasty. Under his reign the imperial empire expanded

further into the northern part of today’s Vietnam and in the east into the territory of today's North Korea.

He also strengthened the empire in its internal

and external political position. Besides that he raised

Confucianism to become the philosophical and political guideline of the state.

During his reign, the coinage changed from the originally

denominated ban-liang coin to the smaller wu-zhu coin. The pieces of the Schlösser Collection are too heavy compared to

the common currency of that time and with a diameter of 33 to 48 millimeters they are also too big. The typeface differs

from the mass and size, clearly from other known coins of this epoch.

In fact these coins never had a real money function.

According to the results of the archaeological evaluation,

these kinds of coins were used to play drinking games, also

called mingsu qian ( 民俗錢 ) (Pic. 3). Two comparable pieces

were part of the exhibition “China's Money” at the Moritzburg

Halle, in Germany in September 2016. These two coins belong to the collection of Joachim Krüger, and Howard Franklin Bowker, and are now part of the coin collection of Halle.

In conclusion, the collection of Richard Schlösser offers

a comprehensive insight into the development of coinage in

East Asia due its large number of early coins, amulets and the variety of the countries of origin.

Hopefully the collection will be published via an online

database or in a museum catalog.

Such a publication would be helpful for everybody who is

interested in Chinese numismatics.

About the authors I am working for the coin cabinet of the Leipzig university and the state cabinet of Sachsen-Anhalt in Halle as an numismatic volunteer..

I have to work on all numismatic fields in Leipzig, because this collection has to be reidentified after the World War Ⅱ . It is done only by numismatic volunteers since 1968. I am the only one since 2010.

In Halle I have the opportunity to work with the collection of Howard Franklin Bowker and I feel very honoured to do this.

Since the early times of my numismatic interest I have been dealing with Chinese and East Asian coins. The Chinese coin Collection of Prof. Dr. Conrady in the Leipzig was the first bigger Chinese Collection I had worked with.

In 2012 we organised a Chinese coin exhibition with the Konfuzius Institute in Leipzig. After that I found my way to the Collection of Richard Schlösser in Hannover.

Numismatic Trench Art Fred Schwan (USA) Soldiers have taken coins as souvenirs as long as there

have been coins. Jump forward a few thousand years and

soldiers (sailors and airmen too) still take home coins and notes as souvenirs of their experiences.

In between, innovators began altering (usually by

engraving) coins or incorporating them into larger souvenirs.

These alterations move the coins into the realm of trench art.

Some coin engraving was done during the Civil War and even earlier but World War I saw an explosion in the popularity

of what came to be known as trench art in general and coin

trench art in particular. Additionally, that war generated the name for the art form.

Since World War I souvenirs created from the residue of a

conflict are called trench art and such items made using coins are coin trench art (I made that up, but it feels right). All of

this is in spite of the fact that the item probably was not made in a trench and that some of the items might not be art in the eyes of some beholders.

I carefully call these items coin trench art rather than

numismatic trench art. Souvenir notes called short snorters

(Pic. 1) are reasonably well known and they qualify as trench art and together with the coins are numismatic trench art. I

believe that this classification of short snorters as trench art

constitutes a new way to look at them. Of course I also collect

the notes, but today I want to limit our discussion to the coins.

The very term "trench art" conjures up visions of soldiers

carving or engraving coins in a fox hole. Not so. Mostly, trench art-and especially engraved coins--were created by skilled

Australian coins constitute a very special case. They are the

the quality of the workmanship. I call the lower quality items made." This approach is not meant to disrespect the soldiermade items. Indeed, overall they are scarcer and they have a

special charm. You could limit your collection to the soldiermade items. I, of course, collect both kinds.

There are many additional ways to think about (and, of

course, collect) coin trench art. An important way to group

coin trench art is between those items where the coin or coins are the dominant elements of the item (think bracelets). Of

course then the other category is where the coins are only a small or incidental part of the final item (think ash trays).

Coins are ideal hosts for engraving. They are abundant,

inexpensive, malleable, and often charming or attractive

in their own right. The popularity of making love tokens in the nineteenth century and collecting them in the twenty first century attest to this. Souvenir hunters and creators

recognized this in World War II and produced an amazing array of coin trench art.

Soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, and coast guardsman

of all ranks wanted engraved coins from many countries in

every theater of operation. Usually they wanted local coins, but sometimes they wanted coins from home but wanted

them engraved with a local theme or message. As but one

example, I have seen Egyptian pyramids engraved on coins from several countries. One of those is on a United States

Liberty Walkinghalf dollar. Ken Barr owns this coin. When

he said that the only way that I could buy it was to buy it from

his estate, I made him write a note on the holder that upon his death it should be sold to me.

Coins made ideal bracelets. The simplest bracelets

had seven or eight coins linked together with a clasp. The

country and dates of the coins were sufficient for a message.

Alternatively, custom engraved messages were added to a

center coin or, rarely, to all of the coins. Such bracelets are

actually quite common although since each is unique a large number have found their way into my collection.

Souveiring as it was called was a major activity in World

War II. Soldiers, sailors, and airmen collected just about

everything and there are contemporary reports of collecting (souveniring) activity. It was such a major activity that it

may have contributed to coin shortages in many areas. The

shortages then resulted in emergency issues (usually notes) thus creating more things for us to collect today. In spite of

good cause. World War II trench art coins produced from most commonly-found engraved trench art coins. This is

obviously because of the very large number of Americans

who assembled and trained in Australia before fighting in

the Philippines, New Guinea, Netherlands East Indies and

countless other places in the Pacific. There is a wonderful twist to this. When the coins were to loved ones--as most trench art

coins were--they were going home. Most of the coins had been struck in the United States! This fact was probably not known to the makers and buyers of the items, but adds greatly to my interest in the items today.

Terrible battles were fought on the Island of New Guinea

and surrounding islands 1942-1945. This island that was

little known before World War II was in the headlines around the world during this period. Probably because rather than in spite of this New Guinea coin trench art is actually fairly common. Bracelets, charms, lockets, and other items must

have been created in great quantity because they are not only available today, more importantly they are available and in great variety. Not only could you make a specialty of coin

trench art bracelets, you could make one out of New Guinea trench art bracelets. This are almost always made from the Australian US-minted coins. It is rare to find them from

the coins of New Guinea or other countries. Of course the

mix of common items with rare varieties makes for an ideal collecting speciality.

Rings'n'Things

Rings were often crafted from silver coins. Many coin

collectors are vaguely aware that this can be done, but few

have seen such coin rings. If you are patient, you can tap the

edge of a coin causing it to mushroom over. Then you can drill out the center and have a ring as souvenir of your journey.

When done skillfully, enough of the original coin and even the date will be visible inside the ring! Of course the finished ring can then also be engraved.

Identification coins differ only slightly from other trench

art coins that we have discussed. On these items personal

information is engraved. Usually it is on a coin with one side planed as is usually done with a love token. Alternatively,

the information could also be placed in the fields of a coin.

Identification coins tend to be soldier made rather than craftsman made.

A few years ago I found one of the Australian coins

戰壕裏的錢幣藝術 弗雷德·施萬（美國） 自硬幣誕生以來，士兵們就有將其作為紀念品的傳統。幾 千年前後，陸軍戰士（也有海軍和空軍）還會把硬幣和紙幣作 為戰場上的紀念品帶回家。 期間，有人開始將錢幣進行改製（通常是在錢幣上雕刻） 或者拣幾枚錢幣組合成一個稍大的紀念品。這種改製就將錢幣 納入到了戰壕藝術的領域。在錢幣上進行雕刻的做法在美國內 戰或更早的時候就已經出現，一戰期間，所謂的戰壕藝術達到 井噴，其中戰壕硬幣藝術尤為興盛。而這種藝術形式的名稱就 是源於這次戰爭。 自一戰開始，戰爭後殘存的紀念品就被称為“戰壕藝術”品， 其中使用硬幣製作的紀念品就被叫做“戰壕硬幣藝術”。儘管 如此，但其中有的紀念品並不是戰壕裏製作出來的，而有的紀 念品在一些旁觀者眼裏甚至都算不上是“藝術”。 謹慎起見，我將這些紀念品稱為“戰壕硬幣藝術”而不是“戰 壕錢幣藝術”。因為除了硬幣紀念品以外還有另一種知名戰壕 錢幣藝術品——Short Snorters（圖 1），這兩種 ( 紙幣和硬幣 ) 紀念品統稱為戰壕錢幣藝術。雖然我也收藏紙幣，但今天我們 只討論硬幣紀念品這一個種類。

"Munich Panda", this special product honoring the GermanChinese friendship, is celebrating a surprising rebirth. On

March 4, 2017, the latest Panda medal was presented at the 50th Annual “Numismata” fair (alternatively dubbed the

“Munich International Coin Fair”) in Munich. It is the first

senior designer Yu Min, the winner of the Krause "coin of

the year" lifetime achievement award this year in Berlin. Yu Min has designed or engraved over 200 Modern Chinese

Coins - including over 40 Panda coins. There were huge lines of collectors at the ANA show who wanted to purchase the

show panda. All of Champion's show pandas for Macau, ANA and Berlin were designed by Yu Min. The Shanghai Mint is a National mint under China Banknote Printing and Minting (CBPM) which is in charge of commemorative gold and

silver coins and also produces the regular Chinese circulation

coinage such as the 1 yuan, 5 chao and 1 chao coins. Shenzhen Guobao, where the Munich Panda was struck, is a mint under supervision of China Gold Inc. and only produces gold and

silver commemorative coins and medals. Of the nine COTY award winners, eight designers and engravers come from a CBPM mint such as Shanghai or Shenyang.

In 2012, the same year of the return of the Panda

show medals to the market, Künker auction house offered

various embossing tools and sample coins from the archive of the Esslingen based company “Otto Beh”, which are

regarded as important documents of the history of Chinese money. Following the donation, the idea arose to design a

commemorative medal and sell it during the World Money

During the Numismata in Munich, however, the collectors had refrained from extensive advertising measures, only a

single poster drew attention to the places where the medals were sold. And so, unlike the Panda editions of the 1990s,

there were no queues before the two sales stands. Many trade fair visitors had learned about the special Panda edition on

the day of the fair, and none of the big numismatic societies

or wholesale dealers in Germany were involved. Many buyers complained about dents and other damages on the medals’

surface, leaving the medals unappealing for grading purposes.

And apparently, the mintage number also played a role in the

restrained reaction of the Munich audience. With 2,017 pieces for a trade fair which is usually visited by about 4,000 people,

the coin was not as scarce as the Berlin Pandas with only 1,000 pieces for a fair with 15,000 visitors. This critical feedback from Germany serves as a strong backup for Champion’s

project developing strategy: Champion chooses to work with

numismatic societies such as the Macau Numismatic Society, American Numismatic Association and leading companies

such as Künker Auctions at the World Money Fair to build

demand and interest. Champion works closely with the mint's designer and production team to produce show Pandas with extremely high quality of design and minting methods. This

strategy, combined with strict control of the mintage, has lead to strong aftermarket demand of Champion's show Pandas internationally.

to make a copper mold. Then machine profilingis done which is followed by a directly-engraved mold. This is followed by the manufacture of an incuse mold and then a secondary

mold. Finally a working mold is produced. This was the main manufacturing steps before 2005. Since 2005, the copper

mold and machine profiling were substituted with electronic engraving. From the directly-engraved mold to the working

mold (used for engraving coins) a die needs to be repeatedly pressed, shaped, heat treated, electroplated, sandblasted

and polished. Due to different production conditions and

techniques, the surface of the mold might change a little in

the later stages of mold production. Thus coins made by these molds might show differences in quality.

only focus on some official versions of Chinese modern coins. later articles.

According to official reports, official versions of Chinese

modern coins include: “S” and “Y” versions of the 1987 prooflike gold panda; domestic and international versions of the

2001 proof-like silver panda; “S”, “Y” and “Z” versions of the 29th Olympic Games coins minted and issued in 2006 and 2008.

1. “S” and “Y” versions of the 1987 proof-like gold panda Chinese gold coins were mainly sold on the international

market at the end of the 1980s as the demand was great at that time. Sales of the 1988 proof-like gold panda reached

479,700 ounces, which is still the record for annual sales for

a gold panda issue. To meet market demand, proof-like gold pandas were mainly produced by Shanghai and Shenyang

Mints. Due to different minting conditions and techniques,

there were small variations in the pandas produced by these two mints. The difference of quality was reflected in the

international market. For this reason, the 1987 proof-like gold pandas were struck with marks to track the quality of coins

according to the market feedback. Thus, there are “S” and “Y” versions of the 1987 gold panda; “S” refers to the Shanghai

Mint and “Y” stands for the Shenyang Mint. Strucking marks was proved to be a good way to monitor the quality of coins, but new problems, like an uneven supply and a shortage of

some versions produced at certain periods, appeared. These

problems further tightened the market. To balance supply and demand, the practice of using different marks was adopted

for only one year. From 1988, the old design standard of not using producers’ marks was reestablished.

Two versions of the 1987 1 oz. gold proof-like panda are

shown in Picture 1. Marks of 1/2 oz., 1/4 oz., 1/10 oz. and 1/20 oz. are in the location on the 1 oz. panda shown below.

(4) Unqualified products: Very few unqualified coins will

enter the market. These defective coins can not be classified as a version.

(5) Fantasy issues: Different from the conditions

mentioned above, a fantasy refers to coins made by

individuals for ulterior motives. These coins are not products of any mint but just private fantasy issues.

2. International versions of the 2001 proof-like silver panda The focus of Chinese gold coin sales was transferred

to the domestic market from the early 21st century. But

problems such as the backflow of overseas products and

domestic sales of export goods became prominent due to

the different prices in domestic and international markets.

To monitor the situation, proof-like gold and silver pandas

became the first coins to be divided into a domestic version

and an international version. Each domestic proof-like panda

Pic. 2 The domestic “D” version and the international version of the 2001 1 oz. gold proof-like panda

was engraved with a “D”, while international pandas had no such marks. Due to complicated reasons, this method

can only reflect the backflow at a certain level but could not

fundamentally solve the problem. At the same time, engraving marks on coins also increased the difficulty of production,

management and balanced supply. Thus, producing domestic and international versions of pandas was only adopted for a year.

Two versions of the 2001 1 oz. gold proof-like panda are

Column 專欄 4. Other versions There are other versions on the market which are worth

being studied and identified.

(1) The 1987 proof gold panda 1 oz., 1/2 oz., 1/4 oz., 1/10 oz. and 1/20 oz. proof gold

pandas were issued from 1986 to 1990. Four versions of

proof gold panda (1/2 oz., 1/4 oz., 1/10 oz. and 1/20 oz.)

Pic. 14 The 1987 1 oz. gold proof panda (with “P”).

were produced in 1993 and 1994. These proof pandas have

the same design as that of the proof-like pandas. Differences between proof-like and proof pandas are not obvious as the

production standard of the proof-like panda was rather high.

To distinguish these coins a “P” mark was engraved on the

proof coins. The reverse of the 1987 1 oz. proof gold panda is shown in Picture 14.

Unlike some people, I do not think it is appropriate to

Pic. 15 The 1987 1/10 oz proof-like gold panda (without mark)

call this type of proof panda the “P” version panda. Proof and proof-like pandas should be seen as two completely different types of coins not two different versions of the same kind of

coin although these coins share the same design, weight and size.

(2) The 1987 1/10 oz. gold proof-like panda (without

mark)

A kind of so-called “1987 1/10 oz. gold panda (without

mark)” has been circulating on the market for some time. The

Pic. 16 The 2001 small “D” 1 oz. silver proof-like panda

reverse of this coin is shown in Picture 15.

This is an odd coin. First, it meets the quality standard of

proof-like coins and has no obvious differences with the 1/10 oz. gold proof-like coin (with mark) after being compared, but I did not find any production records of this coin after researching. This is contrary to the general knowledge of

production management. It cannot be a pattern either. The number of these coins does not conform to the number of

pandas. Thus these small “D” coins should be considered fantasies forged by someone with ulterior motives.

5. Summary and conclusion Through the above analysis, we can conclude: (1) Collectors and investors usually classify the same

patterns. Thus we should use a more scientific approach or

type of coins with different features into “large versions” and

an easy conclusion. Therefore, this coin should be the called

to compare coins, collectors and investors should be very

look for more evidence to identify this coin, instead of making the “doubtful version”.

(3) The 2001 small “D”1 oz. silver proof-like panda In recent years, small numbers of 2001 small “D” 1 oz.

silver proof-like pandas have started to appear on the market.

The reverse of this coin is shown in Pic 16.

This is another strange coin. A certain number of 2001

small “D” silver coins appeared at the same time. Such an unusual phenomenon has raised suspicions among

administrators and many collectors. After visiting many mints and interviewing a lot of mold producers and administrators, I have come to the conclusion that only one set of molds

was used to produce the “D” version of the 1 oz. silver prooflike panda and there should not be any small “D”1 oz. silver

“small versions”. Although it is a straightforward approach

careful in numismatic research as different features of these versions are caused by different reasons and are of differing significance.

(2) “S” and “Y” versions of the 1987 proof-like gold

panda; international versions of the 2001 proof-like silver

panda; “S”, “Y” and “Z” versions of the 29th Olympic Games commemorative coins issued from 2006 to 2008 are all

official versions and very important types of modern Chinese coins. It is not hard for investors and collectors to find

relevant official documents and to identify these coins. It is

the right time to collect some less popular versions, especially the “S”, “Y” and “Z” versions of the 29th Olympic Games

coins, as their prices are the same in foreign and domestic markets.

Column 專欄 (3) The 1987 1 oz. gold “P” proof panda is not the same

type of coin as other 1987 proof-like pandas and should not be classified as a variety. This often happens to other coins too.

(4) It should be noted that for some similar versions,

like the 1987 1/20 oz. gold panda (without mark), are in

circulation with other official versions right now. Actually, there are a large number of similar “versions” of modern

coins. The existence of these coins is contrary to the general

rule of modern coin production. Their authenticity also cannot be proved due to a lack of evidence. Thus, these coins should be called “doubtful versions” and need to be further studied and identified.

(5) Some versions on the market, like the 2001 small “D”

1 oz. silver proof-like panda, have been proved as fantasies or forgeries. These deceptive versions are minted or reproduced using advanced techniques. Collectors and investors should be careful when identifying these coins.

(6) As different versions are of different investmen value,

it is a complicated and confusing to study coin versions.

Collectors and investors should keep a clear mind, think

independently and avoid paying too much attention to profit.

Only by understanding techniques of coin production and the definition of variety, studying reasons of variance and

looking for evidence, can a numismatic scholar or collector

keep making contributions to the research of coin varieties.

techniques, some forgeries are very convincing and can be

hard to be distinguished from real ones. Driven by ulterior

motives, some people deliberately cheat customers by making up stories and selling or making fake coins. There are also

a few media professionals who abandon their professional

ethnic and speak for forgers and their fake coins. Under such

circumstances, collectors and investors should be very careful and try not to fall into the trap of “a lie repeated 1000 times becomes truth”.

(7) The study of numismatic varieties is one of the hottest

areas of numismatics. The positive force of exploration and market chaos exist at the same time. There have been 280 types of official varieties which have appeared in auctions

or been reported by the media that can be clearly identified while many other unofficial varieties that are too difficult to be distinguished by collectors and investors. Chinese

commemorative coins have a history of only 38 years. Many original production materials still exist and many people

who participated in production can still be interviewed. I

think executives should organize expert groups to study and

distinguish varieties of coins, especially private versions, and to provide clear guidance to numerous collectors through

studying the background of the emergence of these coins.

深入研究和甄別這些現代貴金屬幣的版別及所謂的版別， 大致可分為以下幾種情況：

從官方公佈的資料看，目前我國現代貴金屬幣的“官方版 別”主要有 1987 年鑄造發行的普製熊描金幣的 S 版和 Y 版， 2001 年鑄造發行的普製熊貓金銀幣的國內版和國際版，2006

Column 專欄 四 關於其他所謂版別的甄別 在以上所述的現代貴金屬幣品種中，目前市場還流傳着一 些其他所謂的版別，值得厘清、研究和甄別。 （一）1987 年熊貓精製金幣 在 1986 年 至 1992 年 期 間， 每 年 還 鑄 有 1 盎 司、1/2 盎 司、1/4 盎司、1/10 盎司和 1/20 盎司的五種精製熊貓金幣。 在 1993 年和 1994 年兩年中，每年還鑄有 1/2 盎司、1/4 盎司、

The William Ewart Gladstone Medallion

By H. F. Bowker (USA)

The American Numismatic Society has in its Museum a

small gold Medallion which seems not to have been previously published, having a distinct East Asian historical and

numismatic connotation. The in¬scriptions on this medalet, only 16.5 millimeters in diameter, are as follows:

Obverse: Crown/This Gold/Discovered in/Sycee Silver/

The Prize of British/Arms, in China/was Extracted/at H. M. Mint/March/1842

government in settlement of the "ransom” of the city of Canton amounting to six million Mexican dollars, as stipulated in the notification dated 20 January 1841 of Captain Charles Elliot

commemorate the increment in value which accrued to the British government from the unanticipated presence of the

substantial amount of gold which was found to be present in the Chinese silver.

J. C. Herries (1778-1855) had been Master of the Royal

Mint from 1828 to 1830, and the date "1829" on this piece is that when the mint instituted a new process for the recovery of gold from silver.

Several biographies of the British Prime Minister, William

Ewart Gladstone (1809-1898) were consulted but no mention was found that he had ever been Master of the Mint during his earlier days. It remained for a numismatic publication, The Numismatic Chronicle, to identify the "W. Gladstone"

of the medallion as the famous Prime Minister. Under date to2 2 February, 1844, the following note was found in this publication:

sentence was commuted and he was banished to the Amur

front¬ier. Later after the Treaty of Nanking, which was more onerous to the Chinese than the Convention, he was sent to

Lhasa as Chinese Resident to Tibet, and later was said by Huc and Gabet to have been Viceroy in Szechuan. Elliot estimated that the silver sycee obtained for the "ransom" of Canton

had amounted to 150 tons, and this medalet was struck to

I should like to obtain some information as to the J.C. Herries, and the date 1829 which appear on its reverse. I have sufficient information relative to the rest of its inscriptions, but the great disparity in the dates “1842” and“1829” appearing on the obverse and reverse is indeed puzzling. If Herries was a government official, I should like to know in what capacity he served.

William Gladstone, the famous politician, was Master of the Mint l841-1845. In March 1829 the Mint started recovering gold from silver. In 1842 Gladstone insisted on correcting or exchanging many weights throughout the country. No doubt your little medalet refers to such things.

An Apparent Relationship Between The 1897 Chehkiang 5-Cents Pattern And The 1899 Anwei 5-Cents Circulation Strike

By Thomas W. Keener (USA)

China-Chehkiang 1897 (Year 23) 5 cents pattern in silver, not in Kann, unique in silver The purpose of this article is to offer evidence that

The Chehkiang year 23 pattern series is incredibly rare,

produced a single silver coin in Kuang Hsu year 25 (1899), any other coins in the series has never been explored or

explained, but this subject can be addressed by someone else.

One of the premier authorities in the Chinese silver coin

series, Eduard Kann, avoided the subject of the single Anhwei silver coin in 1899 in hisIllustrated Catalog of Chinese Coins.

Kann wrote only that "there is a ... 25th year of Kuang Hsu (coin for Anhwei Province)... but same consists of a lonely 5-cents piece only.” He also noted that, "while records

of production are incomplete or scarce with most of the

provinces, the coinoutput of silver pieces from the Anking mint is missing altogether.” The issuanceof a single coin

was simply accepted, and the lack of mint records was good reason to avoid questioning how that came to be.

Just over 50 years have passed since Kann published his

book on Chinese coins. In that time, the changing relationship between China and the rest of the world has resulted in much greater access to, and interest in, the rich variety of coins

used in China over its history. An incredible number of major finds have come to light, some of which have changed our

understanding of the nature of coins in China. Among these are two previously unrecorded Kuang Hsu year 23 pattern series of dragon silver coins for Chehkiang Province and

for Anhwei Province. These may offer some insight into the origin of the year 25-dated Anhwei 5-cent silver coin.

listed as kann 119i through 123i. Based on recent auction denomination (Dollar, 50-cents, 20-cents, 10-cents, and 5-cents) was struck in silver. The dollar and 50-cents

coins were sold as lots 207 and 208 in the 1991 Superior

auction 苏佩瑞欧 of the Goodman collection. The 20-cents coin was misidentified as year 25 and sold as lot 141 in the

1994Taisei-Baldwin-Gillio Hong Kong auction of the Ng Yin Booncollection. The 10-cents coin was sold as lot 474 in the 1994 Taisei-Baldwin-Gillio Singapore auction. Finally, the

coin which initially called attention to the year 23 Chehkiang silver series, the 5-cents, sold as lot 548 in the 1988 Money Company Hong Kong auction.

In addition to the Chehkiang series above, there is now

evidence a similar series was struck for Anhwei Province in year 23. Thus far, only the Anhwei silver dollar, 50-cents,

and 20-cents Kuang Hsu year 23 coins have been identified

in auction. The silver dollar and 50-cents were sold as lot 794 in the 1986 Money Company Hong Kong International Coin

Exposition. A gold plated silver dollar coin was sold as lot 424 in the 1983 Money Company Hong Kong International Coin

Exposition, and reference was made in the text to yet another gilt silver coin. Finally, the 20-cents coin was sold as lot 685

in the 1991 Scott Semans auction of the Dan Ching collection

陈丹尼 . In the accompanying text, reference was made to one other known to exist.

Column 專欄 A comparison of the auction catalog

photographs for the Chehkiang and

Anhwei series shows the following: the calligraphy style of the obverse of the

dollar coins and the 50-cents coins for

the two provinces is virtually identical.

The Anhwei dies differ because they

have the letters ASTC in the field while

the Chehkiang dies do not. The obverse dies for the 20-cents coins for the two provinces, however, are completely

different. The most immediate visible difference in the dies for the 20-cents

coins is the small diameter of the beaded inner circle of the Anhwei obverse when compared to the Chehkiang obverse.

Taken together, the above suggests that

there is a very strong likelihood some of the obverse dies for the two provinces

year 23 patterns were created by the same company, or individual.

With this as a background, your

attention is called to the two enlarged photographs. Unless looked at with

care, one might easily think they are

two photographs of the obverse of the same coin. They are not. Enlarged 30X, the photograph on the top is the obverse of the rare Chehkiang 5-cents year 23 pattern (figure 1).

The photograph at the bottom is the obverse of the relatively common

Anhwei 5-cents year 25 circulating coin (figure 2). What does not show clearly on these two photographs is that each

shares the following characteristics: the second stroke in the character SHENG

however, that suggests what may have been done to create the Anhwei year 25 5-cents silver coin.

It is suggested that the following may have happened.

The mint bureaus of the adjoining provinces of Chehkiang and Anhwci contracted with the same company to have

pattern obverse dies made for a series of year 23 dragon

silver coinage,and with different companies or individuals

to have the reverse dies made (they are all different in many major respects). The Chehkiang dies were used to strike

probably one set of silver coins and one set of brass coins (the brass 5-cents and 20-cents are known) in preparation for

Chehkiang's Hangchow mint going into production. According to Kann, the Hangchow mint was closed in 1898 shortly after opening and the machinery shipped to Peking. Kann says

two more mints were opened in Hangchow, one in 1903 and

one in 1905. It is possible the reverse dies were subsequently

used to strike the circulation coins over the next several years,

striking using the reverse dies is supported in the case of the of both the pattern coin and the later circulation issue.

The Anhwei mint reportedly started production in 1897

and halted production in 1899. While there may be more

year 23 Anhwei patterns to be discovered, it would appear there was a problem with the 20-cents die that had to be

corrected by preparing a new die. Afterwards, a number of different obverse designs, dated and undated, were used during the short 2-year period the Anking mint was in

operation. It is therefore suggested that obverse dies for the year 23 5-cents pattern had been prepared, perhaps used to strike a trial issue, and then recut for use two years later as

year 25 dies. The character for 3 was recut to become a 5. The

similarity between the Chehkiang and Anhwei obverses of the 5-cent coins would support this. Why this was not done with the other dies cannot be answered.

The shape of the coin was based on Chinese symbolism, with the outer

circular rim representing the Dome of Heaven, while the square center hole represented the Earth. They are also indicative of the internal rectitude

of government personnel, with their

number of coins along a central stem,

or what Western collectors call a “Coin 14

Tree” (Pic. 5). lt's interesting to note

that the traditional Korean name for

cast coinage is “Yopchon”, literally “1eaf Money”.15

The coins with their traditional

round shame and square center holes

were removed from the tree. The main truck of the tree was returned to the

crucible, while the coins were mounted on a square iron bar through their

center hole in a long row. These iron

bars were placed in a grooved wooden frame set horizontally about 2 feet

above the ground so that the edges (with the separation lines from the mold) could be filed smooth.

The coins were then removed from

the bars and placed in baths of fine

sand and water. Here they were moved around by the employees feet in an effort to polish them.

The polished coins were strung on

straw ropes in bundles of up t0 1000 pieces, with a knot separating each

As can be seen, there was no

instrument for measuring the weight and sizes of the coins. In fact, it was

found that the size of the coins could be encroached upon with impunity, and, in time, the size of the larger

denomination coins made late in the dynasty were nearly the same size as lower denomination coins produced in the earlier years of the dynasty.

Eventually, no differentiation was made between the different denominations in the open market.16 In Aug. 1894, the Korean government formally

declared the value 5 coins equal to the value 1 coins.17 Since no special skills were involved, almost anyone could be employed in the trade, and, as a

result, illegal coin-making was rampant during the declining days of the Yi

Dynasty. Even with the introduction of modern coinage in 1888, casting was

the primary means for counterfeiting

A Set of Counterfeit “Da Hei Shi” Second Series RMB Notes Lu Boxiong (Changsha)

The Second Series of RMB “Da Hei Shi” (obverse)

I am the deputy director of the Judicial Identification

Center of the Hunan Collectors Association and appraiser of

stamps and banknotes for the Hunan Higher People’s Court.

In April 2017, I conducted a judicial authentication for a batch

of banknotes with my colleagues. This authentication included 62 well-preserved second series RMB 10 yuan notes (known as “Da Hei Shi”, meaning the “big black 10 cash”). After

careful observation, we concluded that none of these notes were genuine. The counterfeits were all well printed with

clear images and characters and felt like real notes. Collectors

unfamiliar with the second RMB series might well be deceived

by these convincing fake notes.

These fake “Da Hei Shi” notes had no differences in

appearance with each other. To make it easier for readers to identify them, I have divided them into A, B and C versions

according to different printing institutions in which they were produced.

The A version, with a ‘shining’ watermark (Pic

This is an overprinted note printed with uncoated paper,

with clearly-printed colorful images and characters on both sides. This version feels and looks like real notes under

natural light, but if observed against light, one can easily find the national emblem watermark was printed over the note

with white ink on the fake note. Both the shining emblem and the date “1953” under it are fake watermarks.

The B version has a fluorescent watermark on the

age of 60 regard this RMB set as a symbol of wealth. Whoever has a bunch of “Da Hei Shi” (about 100 pieces) would be

considered a wealthy man, both in the past and at present.

The value of one “Da Hei Shi” note equaled the living costs of a family of three for half a month or the payment of a rural

labor for half a year. The middle-aged, that is anyone under the age of 60, may have heard of these notes but never had the chance to use this money. Collectors born in the 1970’s and 1980’s are eager to get an example pf a high-value “Da Hei Shi” note. The “Da Hei Shi” notes are very rare so it is

not surprising to see their prices have climbed in the past few years.

Speaking of this, I have to introduce the well-known “Su San”

These three versions have some shared characteristics:

first, they were made of special uncoated paper which is

usually now used to make certificates; second, all these fake notes have shining watermarks giving a fluorescent effect.

Actually, the watermark of the national emblem on a real

“Da Hei Shi” is made by changing the density of paper fibers

during the papermaking procedure. The watermark does not shine nor has it a fluorescent effect. In addition, there is no “1953” printed under the watermark.

The “Da Hei Shi” (the second series of RMB) is very rare

and very popular among collectors. Those who are over the

notes (three types of notes printed in the Soviet Union). There are three series of “Su San” notes, including the 1953 10 yuan, 5 yuan and 3 yuan, all printed in Soviet Union. The “Su San” 10 yuan is the so-called “Da Hei Shi”. The first set of high

denomination RMB notes had many varieties and could easily be counterfeited at the beginning of the founding of the PRC. When designing the second set of RMB to replace the first

ones and to solve the problem of fake notes, leaders of China decided to authorize the Soviet Union government to print

the second set of RMB because of our technology limitations.

After the deterioration of Sino-Soviet relations, the printing

of the “Da Hei Shi” and two other types of notes were stopped in the Soviet Union. Although one 10 yuan note is not worth much today, it was worth a lot in those days when China

was a poor country and people lived at a very low standard.

Column 專欄 According to The History of Currency Releases in New China , most withdrawn “Su San” notes were transported by military forces to paper mills to be destroyed on the orders of the

central government. Against such a backdrop, only a few “Da Hei Shi” survived. Thus these collectable notes become the

target of counterfeiters. Since the 1990s, various types of real and fake notes have appeared on the market.

It is difficult to identify “Da Hei Shi” notes. There are

many varieties of fake “Da Hei Shi” notes in the market,

Pic 4-A

some are imitations made by our enemy states, some are

produced by domestic counterfeiters. Only people equipped with professional knowledge of the features and printing

techniques of the “Da Hei Shi”, can an appraiser tell fake notes from real ones. Early counterfeits are difficult to

identify as these notes were expertly printed with advanced techniques by enemy states with the purpose of disrupting the economic order of China. But there are still some

differences between real notes and fake ones. For example,

Pic 4-B

the counterfeit shown in picture 4-1 cannot be called as a

“Da Hei Shi” (big black note) as it was printed in blue. Some notes, like picture 4-2, were printed in black like real ones

but have unusual watermarks of the national emblem with

some political meanings. Fake notes in the early and middle

periods were not well-produced and can be easily identified at sight by looking at the watermarks (Pic 5). These plain-paper

notes were produced through techniques of color copying and offset printing. Anyone with even a little knowledge of the

Pic. 4-C Another fake watermark

“Da Hei Shi” notes can easily identify them. With the wide

application of high technology in the printing industry, ways

of making fake notes have been improving. Fake “Da Hei Shi” notes produced with advanced CNC devices and by electronic technology look exactly like real notes. Many fake notes

can be found in the market, but most of these counterfeits are not clearly printed and have a dark background. The

designs of these notes are different with those on real notes

and the watermarks are printed with colorless ink. Knowing these features, we can easily distinguish fake “Da Hei Shi”

notes (Pic 6). Nevertheless we still have to use sophisticated

equipment and professional methods to undertake scientific identification when encountering well-printed counterfeits.

To identify fake notes, we first need to know the three

main features of real “Da Hei Shi” notes.

First, to promote economic construction and to further

stabilize the financial order by reforming the currency system at the beginning of Chinese socialist period, the second series

of RMB notes showing distinctive features of Chinese socialist construction were issued. Portraits of a worker and a farmer

were printed on the 10 yuan note (the largest denomination).

The obverse depicts a male worker who is pointing forward

Pic 5-A Fake watermark

and a female farmer who is holding a bunch of rice stalks and looking in the direction to where the worker is pointing. This

image reflects the harmonious worker-peasant alliance as the Communist Party of China leads our people to promote the

development of industry and agriculture. The clear theme and the story behind these notes easily brings out memories of

people who have experienced that stage of China’s history.

Column 專欄 Second, the “Da Hei Shi” is one of the first sets of notes

printed with the advanced intaglio and wiring printing

technology of the Soviet Union. With images of figures, the national emblem, decorations and watermarks and three-

dimensional characters well printed on special paper, the set can really be regarded as one of the most exquisite series of Chinese notes.

Third, the “Da Hei Shi” is one of the first expanded

banknotes (210mm×85mm in size) issued in a large

denomination. This set was made using four-color offset and two-color emboss printing techniques and carries Chinese,

Mongolian, Uighur and Tibetan characters. It circulated for only nine years and was destroyed after being withdrawn.

These features may explain why the “Da Hei Shi” is so coveted Pic. 6-A A counterfeit with a dark background

by collectors.

Next, I will introduce three tips for identifying real notes.

First, real notes were made of cotton fiber paper which

was flexible and specially for printing money and will quickly recover their strength after absorbing water. They have clear and connected decorations at the bottom and will make a

tinkling sound after being shaken (Pic 8) while the sound of shaking fake ones is dull.

Second, figures printed with intaglio and wiring printing

techniques on real notes leave a three-dimensional effect (Pic 9) while fake notes printed with offset printing technology

Pic. 8-B The enlarged (30 times) portraits of the farmer and the worker on a real note

Column 專欄 have no such effect. For example, every single hair on the forehead of the female farmer on real notes is very clear while hairs on fake notes are very fuzzy. Portraits of the

peasant and the worker still appear very clear and have a

three-dimensional effect after being enlarged 30 times. If

you enlarge a counterfeit 20 times, you will find lines which comprise the portraits are comprised of blurry and flat (Pic 10).

Third, the national emblem watermark on real notes

is fixed and has a sense of depth with five translucent five-

pointed stars (Pic 11). Most counterfeits have poorly-made watermarks printed with translucent ink and only with

traces of an impression. Some fake notes do not even have

a watermark on the surface. The five-pointed stars on these

Pic. 11-A A real watermark (obverse) under natural light

imitations are black and have no sense of depth.

In conclusion, features of real “Da Hei Shi” notes include:

intaglio printing; clear images, continuous background lines; a translucent national emblem watermark and five-pointed

stars; a strong sense of depth and high transparency in a hard plastic cover under a light at night (Pic 12). Lines of images

on fake notes are not continuous, are unclear, have different thicknesses and diverge under a magnifying glass. Besides,

real notes were made through overprinting images on cotton

fiber money paper in the Soviet Union, have no special marks

but have an extended white edge. The decorations and images on the obverse feel raised to the touch (though this sensation

Pic. 11-A A real watermark (obverse) under natural light

lessens on older notes). Some specialists of “Da Hei Shi” serial numbers told me that there are mainly six groups of serial

numbers, each including six types (all consist of a three-letter prefix and a seven-digit number).

resumption of the production of Wu Zhu coins at the

suggestion of Ma Yuan. The stack -casting technology of the Xin Dynasty was improved to produce coins in the Eastern

Bozhao. This is a round-cornered rectangle master die, about 13.5cm in height, 8.3cm in width and 1.53cm in thickness.

There are four small dies on the top half and bottom half and a downsprue in the center. The small dies on are 2.6cm in

diameter with a 1cm wide square hole. Obverse dies are wider but lower than reverse ones. Raised inscriptions in seal script were engraved on these dies.

The Kao Gong officer recorded in the inscription which was under the leadership of Shao Fu in the Western Han Dynasty and Li Tai Pu (Editor’s Note: Shao Fu and Li Tai Pu are also titles of officials) in the Eastern Han Dynasty was mainly

Column 專欄 “Yuan” is the common title of adjutants at that time. The

title, “Tai Pu Jian Yuan” can hardly be found in historical books but are often mentioned in inscriptions of Eastern

Dynasty bronzes. For example, there is an inscription on the

bronze crossbow of the 5th year of Yan Xi which was recorded in Rong Geng’s Records of Inscriptions in Bronzes of Han Dynasty (Volume 6): In August, the 5th year of Yan Xi……, produced

under the supervision of Guo, the Liu Shi Ji；Li Bin the Gong; Han Zhong, the Shi; Zhang Si, the Yuan; Zhao He, the Cheng; Wu Chang, the Ling and another Guo, the Tai Pu Jian Yuan.

Thus the “Tai Pu Jian Yuan” should be an adjutant of Tai

Pu who was responsible for the production of Wu Zhu coin dies. “Cheng” and “Ling Shi” mentioned in the inscription

are assistants of Kao Gong Ling. The tradition of Wu Le Gong Ming (an approach of engraving the producer’s name on his production) was continued to ensure the quality of master

about the same event in Historical Records: the History of the Xia Dynasty are: “In the 10th year, Emperor Yu died on his eastern

tour in Kuaiji”. The number “seven” might be mistaken as “ten” in Historical Records.

contrary to the inscription which recorded that the Bing Shen day appeared in the March of that year. For this reason,

recording the date doesn’t refer to the 20th year. But if

we explain

sense. According to Biographic Sketches of Emperor Guangwu:

a solar eclipse appeared on the Yi Hai day of February in the

THE JOURNAL OF EAST ASIAN NUMISMATICS

Column 專欄 on the master die is the 21th day of March in the 17th year of

Jian Wu1. Luo Bozhao’s article was full of convincing evidence

and soon accepted by the numismatic world. Later studies on

master dies of Jian Wu Zhu coin were all based on this article.

Except for the arrangement of characters, inscriptions

are almost the same on every unearthed vessel of the 17th

year of Jian Wu. According to the arrangement of characters, master dies of the 17th year of Jian Wu can be classified

into three types: the first type has the largest number, with

the character “ 申 ” (Shen) in the first line and the character

“ 史 ” (Shi) in the second line locating above the horizontal

stiffener; the second type has the character “ 申 ” (Shen) below

the horizontal stiffener and the character “ 史 ” (Shi) above

the stiffener; the character “ 申 ” (Shen) and the character

“ 史 ” (Shi) on the third type of master die are all below the

horizontal stiffener. These three types are all standard official master dies with polishing scratches of the Eastern Han

Dynasty and reflect the level of workmanship at that time.

Molds made from the copper master die of the 17th year

of Jian Wu have many benefits: the rounded rectangle shape makes it easier for clay molds to be piled up; the symmetric

design avoids the mistake of producing coins with the same image of the obverse or the reverse side and the height

difference between the obverse die and the reverse die is

convenient for coins to be pulled off. Official Eastern Han

master dies that have been found are all products made in the 17th year of Jian Wu with the same shape and inscriptions.

Although all master dies were produced in March of the

17th year of Jian Wu, the differences in size, the character

arrangement and workmanship of these dies indicate they

were not made at the same time in the same place. There are

also other two kinds of master dies made in the 2nd year and the 16th year of Jian Wu. According to History of the Later

Han: Biography of Emperor Guang Wu, the order of making Wu Zhu coins was given on the Jia Chen day of December in the 16th year of Jian Wu. But it was not until March of the 17th year of Jian Wu that master dies were prepared by related departments and the production of coins was put on the

agenda. Therefore these master dies of the 2nd year and the 16th year of Jian Wu cannot be real.

The regulation and execution system of Wu Zhu coin

production in the Eastern Han Dynasty was different

from that of the Western Han Dynasty. The production

and regulation of currency were controlled by the central government and in charge of an officer titled Shang Lin

Pic. 3 The official master die with the crossed stiffener but no inscription on the reverse San Guan under the leadership of Shui Heng Du Wei in the

Western Han Dynasty. The regulatory agency and executive agency of coin production were independent in the Eastern

Han Dynasty. Jin Cao, the offier under Zhong Yang Tai Wei was responsible for the macro-regulation while the specific

power of making coins was delegated to local governments2.

Clay coin molds of the Eastern Han Dynasty were

made from axisymmetric master dies of bronze, ceramic or other materials. This technology was the stack-casting of

axisymmetric one-sided dies. There is a downsprue in the center of the line of symmetry and symmetrical designs,

grooves, tenon and mortise joints on the master die. Molds

made from such master dies were identical. A certain number of coins could be made just by stacking the combined molds.

To ensure the standardized shape and quality, the central

government uniformly produced bronze master dies, among

which the bronze master die of Wu Zhu coin in the 17th year of

Jian Wu is one the most representative and standard products produced by advanced techniques. It should be noted that

there would be a gap between the combined dies, which might left traces on the downsprue or grooves of the coin tree made from them3.

There are other master dies of the Eastern Han Dynasty

which are slightly different from the official versions

mentioned above. One is almost the same and delicate as the official ones with the crossed stiffener but no inscription on the reverse (Pic 3). The other has obverse and reverse dies

on each side of the downsprue but no stiffener on the reverse

PRESS RELEASE:

Artist Yu Min Was Given the Lifetime Achievement Award

by Krause Publication Coin of the Year Award Committee

Editor of World Coin News David C. Harper (L.) and Chinese Embassy Culture Department Secretary Dr. Li Gang

Shanghai Mint Co., Ltd senior designer Yu Min is watching CCTV News live

A Lifetime Achievement Award in Coin Design was given to Yu Min of the Shanghai Mint Co., Ltd., Feb. 4 at the Coin of the Year Award ceremony at the World Money Fair in Berlin, Germany.

He began designing and engraving coins in 1980 and participated in the entire development process of gold and silver Pandas as a designer and engraver since the frst gold panda coin was issued in 1982.

The trophy was accepted by Dr. Li Gang, Secretary of the Culture Department of Embassy of People’s Republic of China to the Federal Republic of Germany.

His 1983 silver Panda won the Best Silver Coin award in the 1985 Coin of the Year competition. He has designed and engraved over 200 Modern Chinese coins including over 40 commemorative Panda coins, including the 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012 and 2013 gold and silver commemorative Panda coins, over the years. Mr Yu Min may hold the world record for the number of coins designed/engraved by a artist for a modern mint.

Yu Min is the first Asian Designer to win the award , the previous three edition of the award went to Herbert Wahner of Austria, Maria Carmela Colaneri of Italy, and Heinz Hoyer and Sneschana Russewa-Hoyer of Germany.

Giving the award was David C. Harper, editor of World Coin News, founding sponsor of the award. The award is also sponsored by the World Money Fair.

The publisher of the Journal of East Asian Numismatics, Michael Chou, introduced Dr. Li. His publication is the third sponsor of the Coin of the Year Awards and it prepared a biography of Yu Min. Yu Min graduated from Shanghai Arts and Crafts School inAugust 1980 and entered the Shanghai Mint (now known as the Shanghai Mint Co., Ltd) to design and to engrave coins in the design and pattern shop at the same year.

From February to June 1996 he went to Russia and studied in the Sculpture Department of Repin Academy of Fine Arts. He was enrolled as a member of the China Sculpture Institute in July 2004.

The 2009 Panda coin designed by Yu Min was named the Best Commemorative Coin by a German magazine.

Among commemorative coins, he designed and engraved the portrait of Chairman Mao on the circulating coin to Mark the 100th birthday of Mao Tse-tung. It was very diffcult to engrave a raised image of the chairman to be struck on a very hard nickelclad steel coin. Yu Min accomplished this after repeated trials.

In the selection process of the 2008 Beijing Olympic coins, Yu Min’s design was one of the finalists and his four joint engraving designs (the fencing, pentathlon, archery and soccer coins) were adopted by the head offce of Bank of China.
