“咸豐”是清文宗的年號,咸豐年間正值太平天國革命運動的高潮時期。此時民怨沸騰,清政府為了茍延殘喘,在錢幣鑄行上大做文章,將財政危機轉嫁到老百姓身上。相繼推出“咸豐通寶”、“咸豐重寶”、“咸豐元寶”種類繁多的錢幣。咸豐元年首先準備開鑄“咸豐通寶”制錢。由于鴉片戰爭、列強的掠奪和太平天國革命運動的發生,錢局鑄造制錢已很難正常進行,很多省錢局實際上處于停頓狀態,即使開鑄,也是偷工減料 。因而造成咸豐通寶制錢精好者少 ,而粗制濫造的多,大都質劣而輕小,或造成鐵錢、鉛錢代替銅錢。咸豐錢幣是清代錢幣乃至于在所有錢幣中占有一席之地。它的工藝達到一個爐火純青的境界。
"Xianfeng" is the reign of Wenzong of the Qing Dynasty. The Xianfeng period coincided with the climax of the revolutionary movement of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. At this time, people's grievances were boiling, and the Qing government made a big fuss on coin minting to pass on the financial crisis to the people. A wide variety of coins have been introduced successively: "Xianfeng Tongbao", "Xianfeng Zhongbao", and "Xianfeng Yuanbao". In the first year of Xianfeng, it was first prepared to cast "Xianfeng Tongbao" to make money. Due to the Opium War, the looting of the great powers, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom revolutionary movement, it is difficult for the money bureau to make money normally. Many money saving bureaus are actually at a standstill. Even if they start casting, they are cutting corners. As a result, Xianfeng Tongbao made few fine and good money, and many shoddy ones, mostly inferior in quality and light and small, or caused iron and lead coins to replace copper coins. Xianfeng coins are the coins of the Qing Dynasty and even occupy a place in all coins. Its craftsmanship has reached a state of perfection.
咸豐通寶為清代錢幣之一,清文宗咸豐年間(1851年-1861年)鑄造。其中大樣錢鮮見,而更多為私鑄劣質薄小錢,背文滿文各寶局名,常見者大約20局左右,尤以“寶臺”局“阿克蘇”局“寶通”局所鑄為稀少。傳世尚有“咸豐通寶”雕母數種,極為珍貴。咸豐年間因政治腐敗,經濟危困,咸豐通寶鑄行未久即收到各種重寶、元寶大錢沖擊,通寶錢遂嚴重貶值,故制作簡陋,形制混雜;全國27局所鑄的小平錢,銅質、大小及文字各不相同,粗略者多而精良者罕見。
Xianfeng Tongbao is one of the coins of the Qing Dynasty, minted during the Xianfeng reign of Emperor Wenzong of the Qing Dynasty (1851-1861). Among them, large-scale money is rarely seen, and more are for private casting of low-quality thin money, with names of various treasure bureaus inscribed in Manchu. The common ones are about 20 bureaus, especially for the "Baotai" bureau, "Akesu" bureau and "Baotong" bureau. Is rare. There are several kinds of "Xianfeng Tongbao" carved mothers handed down, which are extremely precious. During the Xianfeng period, due to political corruption and economic distress, Xianfeng Tongbao Casting Company received various heavy treasures and ingots shortly afterwards, and Tongbao coins were severely depreciated, so the production was simple and mixed. The small flat coins cast by the 27th bureaus nationwide were of copper quality. , Size and text are all different, the rough ones are many and the sophisticated ones are rare.
咸豐通寶以小平錢為主,也有大錢,咸豐通寶作為清朝一個很普通的古錢幣。現在的古錢幣,數量越來越少。而咸豐重寶一直被收藏家們視作無價之寶。地域性政權發行貨幣的時間也相當短,加上流通地域狹小,所鑄貨幣價值不菲。另外,由于改行紙鈔,銅幣發行量較少,,價值也是非常值得期待和關注的。
Xianfeng Tongbao is mainly based on Xiaoping coins, but also has big money. Xianfeng Tongbao is a very common ancient coin in the Qing Dynasty. There are fewer and fewer ancient coins nowadays. The Xianfeng Heavy Treasure has always been regarded as invaluable by collectors. The time for a regional government to issue currency is also quite short. In addition to the small circulation area, the currency minted is of great value. In addition, due to the change to banknotes, the circulation of copper coins is small, and the value is very worth looking forward to and paying attention to.
