An unidentified Miao Min copper dollar

Mondo Collection Updated on 2024-02-11

Two days ago, I saw a very strange, unidentified copper dollar: "Jiutong Miao Min Hui passed each piece when the money picked up the text", appeared in Ginza November 2015 monthly auction, the specific information of the coin was not announced, adhering to the attitude of research, I looked up the information on the Internet. This coin (original coin) also appeared in the 2010 "Ma Dingxiang and Tibetan Friends Collection Auction" in Shanghai Hongsheng, but it did not indicate the coin information.

Here, "Jiutong Miao people" should refer to the Miao people in the southwest region, according to the "edict pass", as well as the back of the dragon map, if it is a normal currency, it should be the late Qing Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty authorized the southwest Miao region to mint and issue on its own, short-term circulation currency or commemorative currency for commemoration or sacrifice.

If it is not issued normally, it is likely to be a fictitious coin or a copper coin issued by the private sector. For this "Jiutong Miao Min Permit to Pass Each Piece as Money Pickup", I also hope that everyone who is interested can learn about it and check and fill in the gaps.

Note: The Miao Rebellion, also known as the Guzhou Miao Rebellion, known as the Guzhou Miao Rebellion, the Guizhou Miao Rebellion, and the Miao Rebellion in Qing history, was a large-scale Miao people's uprising movement in the Qing Dynasty.

From the Yongzheng period to the first year of Jiaqing, the Miao people in Guizhou and Hunan launched a series of anti-Qing uprisings. Among them, there were three major uprisings and about twenty or thirty small uprisings.

The Miao uprising and the White Lotus uprising were carried out at the same time, echoing each other from afar, giving the most powerful blow to the reactionary rule of the Qing Dynasty and, to a certain extent, also negating the claim of the prosperous Kangqian era.

Coincidentally, a similar "Miao Min General Dang Ten Copper Coins" was also found, with a double flag on the back, and the quality of this "Miao Min General Dang Ten Copper Coins" is very similar to a fictitious coin.
