Today, let’s talk about the small flat sample in Qingli Zhongbao. This version is actually a version of Qingli Zhongbao Xiaoping Coin, but this is not the same as other small flat coins. At present, the small flat samples I have seen have different diameters. It’s too fixed, and there are all kinds of things. Why does this happen?
When I talked about the background of Qingli heavy treasure casting, I also said that Qingli heavy treasure was originally cast as a discount of ten dollars. Later, the folk recast and imitation cast a lot. There is a large part of this batch of Qingli heavy treasure small flats. It is the folk imitation casting that seeks benefits, because the exchange ratio of one to ten, if you melt the small coins of other years to cast the Qingli heavy treasure, you can cast several pieces, so its embezzlement value is very high.
In addition, the amount of copper used to cast copper coins in the Northern Song Dynasty was insufficient, and a large amount of iron coins were cast for circulation. The Northern Song Dynasty government may also cut corners when casting Qingli heavy treasures in the later period, that is, use a smaller amount of copper to cast Qingli heavy treasures at that time. .
Therefore, based on these two aspects, the diameter of the Qingli Zhongbao Xiaoping sample is very complicated. We have said that there are 24 to 27 cm. Judging by the craftsmanship, of course, this is not an absolute one. When you play coins, you should get started, knowing this version is enough.
