珍品鉴赏—四川铜币

四川铜币军是由四川铜元钱币演变过来的，早铜元清光绪二十八年(1902)，川督岑春煊始议铸造铜元。光绪二十九年(1903)六月，建设四川铜元局，其规模不大，仅就原购铸小制钱的废机修整使用.厂房是机械局的压铜厂和旧的铜钱厂，铸料是机械局的枪弹废壳边渣和宝川局余铜，圯炼净尽。按铜96%、铅0.1%及其他的比例配铸“当五”、“当十”铜元。所铸铜元悉用紫铜,量较好。以致四川铜元成为天下铜元特点之一。四川军刊行的钱币，目的在于筹措军饷，维持开支，同时也是知足保路运动的需要，以是“汉”字铜币具有军用钱币和民用钱币的属性。

Sichuan Copper Coin Army evolved from Sichuan Copper Yuan coins. In the early Copper Yuan and Qing Dynasty, Guangxu 28 years (1902), the governor of Sichuan, Cen Chunxuan, first proposed founding Copper Yuan. In June of 1903, the Sichuan Copper Yuan Bureau was built. Its scale was not large. It was only used for repairing the waste machines that had purchased and cast small amounts of money. The workshop was a copper press and an old copper coin factory of the Machinery Bureau. The casting materials were the margin slag of the bullet shell of the Machinery Bureau and the surplus copper of the Baochuan Bureau. "Dangwu" and "Dangshi" copper yuan are cast in 96% copper, 0.1% lead and other proportions. The cast copper is pure copper with good quantity. As a result, Sichuan Copper Yuan has become one of the characteristics of the world Copper Yuan. The purpose of the coins issued by Sichuan Military Journal is to raise military salaries and maintain expenditure. At the same time, it is also to meet the needs of the road protection movement. Therefore, the "Han" copper coins have the attributes of military coins and civilian coins.

军造四川铜币自1903年六月开铸，至1935年十一月法币先流通才逐渐退出流通领域。1900年，在广东开铸圆形无孔铜币（铜元）。次年，沿江沿海各省准许仿造。四川省在成都设四川铜元局，铸造当五、当十文面额铜币，七月增铸当二十文铜币。1912年4月废止大清铜币模板，改铸“汉”字铜元，有当10文、20文、50文三种面额。1913年，增铸当100文、200文的铜币。因铜币反面中央大圆圈内为一篆书“汉”字，“汉”字底有数十条横直纹，因而也称之为“汉”字铜元。

The military Sichuan copper coins were minted in June, 1903, and the French coins began to circulate in November, 1935 before gradually withdrawing from circulation. In 1900, a round porous copper coin (copper yuan) was coined in Guangdong. The following year, copying was permitted in coastal provinces along the Yangtze River. Sichuan Province has set up Sichuan Copper Yuan Bureau in Chengdu, casting five or ten denominations of copper coins, and adding twenty in July. In April 1912, the template of Daqing copper coin was abolished and the "Han" copper coin was recast. It has three denominations: 10, 20 and 50. In 1913, 100 and 200 coppers were added. Because the big circle on the opposite side of the coin is a seal book "Han" character, there are dozens of horizontal and straight lines on the bottom of the word "Han", so it is also called "Han" character copper yuan.

四川铜币由于刊行量较少，流通时间短，是珍藏家们眼中的热门币种。藏品铸工细腻绝伦，带有历史的熏陶，蕴含深刻的历史纪念意义，是价值很高的革命文物；同时，也是中国考古研究的重点工具。文中此枚即是精巧的“军造四川铜币”，如图，正面中央珠圈内镌“四川铜币”四个字，四个字中央镌一朵精巧的芙蓉花，标志蓉城成都。珠圈外上端镌“军造”四个字，下端镌币值“当制钱一百文”，左右双方各镌一个四瓣花星，银币反面中央圆圈内镌一个篆文“汉”字，代表了新“大汉”的意思，具有反清寄义。有横向底纹装修，旁围十八个小圆圈组成的圆圈，内镌纵向饰纹，标志着昔时呼应辛亥革命的十八个省。它带有辛亥革命那一时期鲜明的时代印记，见证了那一段波涛壮阔的革命历史。该藏品品相生涯较为完好，钱币字样清晰，图案雅观，同时因其自己具有的艺术浏览价值和历史研究意义，是一枚不行多得的钱币，值得珍藏。与孙小头和袁大头这些银币比起来，军造四川银币流通规模较窄，刊行量与存世量都相对来说较量少，收藏价值巨大。

Sichuan copper coin is a popular currency in collectors'eyes because of its small circulation and short circulation time. Tibetan casters are exquisite, with historical edification and profound historical Memorial significance. They are valuable revolutionary cultural relics. At the same time, they are also the key tools of archaeological research in China. This is a delicate "Sichuan copper coin made by the army", as shown in the figure, the four words "Sichuan copper coin" are engraved in the front central bead circle, and a delicate hibiscus flower is engraved in the center of the four words, which marks Chengdu, Chengdu, Chengdu, Chengdu, Chengdu, Chengdu. The four characters of "military" are inscribed on the top of the Pearl circle, and the value of the coin at the bottom is "100 pieces of money for making money". Each side has a four-petaled flower star. The inion "Han" in the central circle on the reverse side of the silver coin represents the meaning of the new "big man" and has the meaning of "anti-Qing". There are horizontal decoration, surrounded by eighteen small circles composed of a circle, inside the vertical decoration, marking the past echoes of the 1911 Revolution in eighteen provinces. It bears the distinct epoch mark of the Revolution of 1911 and witnesses the magnificent revolutionary history of that period. The collection is a rare coin worth collecting because of its artistic browsing value and historical research significance. Compared with the silver coins Sun Xiaotou and Yuan Datou, the circulation scale of military-made silver coins in Sichuan is relatively narrow, and their circulation and stock are relatively small.
