Emperor Guangxu’s coin for the reigns of the four emperors

  Speaking of the emperor with the most chaotic red money casting in Xinjiang, it was the Guangxu period. We mentioned earlier that the Guangxu period made up the red coins of the former Xianfeng, Tongzhi, and even Qianlong reigns. At that time, the Kuqa Bureau was in Guangxu. After the reopening of the coin in 18 years, the performance was very special. At that time, not only the red money of Qianlong of the previous dynasty was re-cast, but also Daoguang, the red coin of Tongzhi, made the red money of Xinjiang very diverse. , The layout is also very complicated.

  

  The former and the latter were mixed with each other, which made it very difficult for us to play ancient coins. After the 18th year of Guangxu, the Aksu Bureau was abolished and merged into the Kuqa Bureau. At that time, all the moneymakers in the Aksu Bureau were also transferred to the Kuqa Bureau. At that time, the Kuqa Bureau was not what it used to be, unlike the Kuqa Bureau in Qianlong or Jiaqing period, it basically had no copper and no ability to make money.

  

  During the Guangxu period, the Kuqa Bureau had very sufficient copper yuan and very strong technology. Therefore, it became the only overall money-making situation in Xinjiang at that time. It was in the same position as the Baojian Bureau and the Baohe Bureau, so it Minting coins is also more arbitrary, minting the money of the current dynasty and minting the money of the previous dynasty.

  

  The ten money coined in the back library at that time, including the Qianlong library ten, Daoguang library ten, Tongzhi library ten, etc., which we mentioned before, caused the four chaos of red money in Xinjiang at that time, called place name chaos, chaos after the year, and version. Chaos and currency values ​​are chaotic. After reaching this kind of chaos, it is actually not conducive to the development of the economy and currency circulation at that time.

  

  This very messy way of coining also reflects the current situation of economic backwardness in Xinjiang. But when we look at it now, the very messy coinage situation at that time also brings some interest to our current research, and even more for coin collection. The player brings a lot of fun, which is one of the reasons why the red money is also playable.
