Palace money is a coin specially minted for the court, mainly used for rewards and decoration, and also has the function of praying for blessings and expressing good wishes. Therefore, coins will mint some auspicious words. Of course, the royal vision is more solipsistic than the royal court, and the differences and distinctions of this hierarchy must be reflected everywhere. In addition to being heavy and larger than ordinary coins, the coins are made of precious metals such as gold and silver, which is another major feature of palace coins.
In the Han Dynasty, there should have been palace money in the money, and I have seen reports of gold five baht found before. The news of the discovery of gold five baht in Luoyang was found on the Internet, although it was not confirmed. But I still have a look at the ** feeling. At the same time, there are five baht of flowing gold, which is relatively more than pure gold. In the Tang Dynasty, there were gold Kaiyuan, flowing gold Kaiyuan, silver Kaiyuan, and back auspicious clouds, which should belong to the category of palace money in the Tang Dynasty. In addition to ***, the palace money also includes some thick and heavy copper coins with auspicious words. The Flying Dragon Jinbao of the Five Dynasties period is the representative of the palace money in this period. Qing Dynasty palace money, such as Qianlong Tongbao Tianxia Taiping is more well-known. Today, let's talk about an unpopular one, and talk about the gold and silver palace money of the Northern Song Dynasty.
There are more Huizong Dynasty coins found in the Northern Song Dynasty. According to historical records, in the late Northern Song Dynasty, especially in the Huizong Dynasty, a large number of gold and silver palace coins were minted as a form of wealth and reward. According to the "Xuanhe Lu" record: only in the first year of Jianyan in the Southern Song Dynasty (1127) "Jingkang Rebellion" in February, the Bingzi Jin army invaded Bianjing (now Kaifeng, Henan) inner palace to loot gold and silver coins amounted to 213,000 pieces, this record on the one hand shows that there are many gold and silver coins in the Ming court, and at the same time, these palace money were also robbed in the difficulty of Jingkang. This will definitely include the palace money of the Song Dynasty. However, these gold and silver palace coins were either destroyed and cast, or restructured into gold and silver utensils and jewelry, so they have rarely been handed down for thousands of years. Let's introduce a few unearthed and found Northern Song Dynasty gold and silver palace coins.
