I mentioned earlier that Guizhou Copper Yuan has not only a short casting time, but also a very small amount of casting. So what is the specific casting background of Guizhou Copper Yuan?
At that time, in June 1949, Guizhou Province issued a circular on the Guizhou Province’s Measures for Issuing Copper Yuan. At that time, in June 1949, everyone can think about it. Many parts of the country have been liberated. Therefore, after the issue of the Copper Yuan Method, the deadline is At the end of August, a total of more than 200,000 pieces of copper were minted, and it was abolished after only more than two months of circulation.
Therefore, Guizhou copper yuan can also be called one of the copper yuan with the shortest circulation time of the Republic of China. The characteristic of the copper yuan casting is insufficient pressure. It is obvious that the pressed copper yuan and the casting of other provinces, one is that the font strength is not enough, and the copper is also very good. The difference.
At that time, there were actually a lot of Kuomintang troops in Guiyang City, Guizhou Province. When the copper yuan was cast, the piece of Guizhou did not produce copper at that time, so what was the cast? It is said that 90% of the copper material of the half-cent of Guizhou’s copper alloy is taken from the artillery shell. The alloy of the artillery shell is slightly different from the alloy of ordinary cast copper.
The shells were very hard, coupled with the insufficient pressure of the copper casting machines in Guizhou at that time, resulting in the overall pressure of the final copper castings being insufficient, and the wording was very shallow. This is the Guizhou copper castings we see now. Why is the copper quality very high? Miscellaneous, and one of the reasons why the cast word is very shallow.
