Chapter 708 707. Great Xia Zhenxing (15)

Li Du didn't study cultural relics and antiques, but he couldn't disappoint his old classmates, so he released a small flying insect and said, "I'll probably take a look, but don't hold out too much hope, I'm actually a half-baked guy."

After the little flying insect appeared, it didn't fly to the snuff bottle, but flew to Yao Zhibo who was silently drinking tea.

To be precise, it flew towards his neck.

Li Du was surprised that the little flying insect flew to Yao Zhibo's neck and landed on his pendant. The pendant was a copper coin with verdigris and patina on it.

Seeing this, he stopped the little flying insects who were about to absorb the energy of time, and then said, "Wait a moment, Lao Xu, old demon, what's the matter with that copper coin on your neck?"

Yao Zhibo took it off casually and said: "Oh, wasn't I weak when I was a child? My parents asked me to find a doctor for a life-saving money, and they have been wearing it for many years."

Li Du picked up the copper coin and looked at it. After years of perspiration and friction, the writing on it was a little blurred, and the surface was covered with a layer of paste, which was not conspicuous.

He let the little flying insect turn back the time, and scenes about this coin appeared one after another.

In the first scene, the coin has been fully unveiled, which shows that it has been around for at least three or four hundred years.

The coins were in a box at first, and behind them appeared a man from the Qing Dynasty who was bald in the front half of his head, with big braids in the back, and wearing a blue robe. After this man got the copper coins, he took more care to protect them.

It was not until the war in modern times that this copper coin was taken out of an old house on fire and lost, and it became displaced.

From the old time he saw, this coin should be very precious, and its several collectors valued it very much.

In the past, this ancient coin was well preserved, and the writing on it was clear. Li Du distinguished it, and it should be the four characters of "Taixia Zhenxing".

He stroked the smooth copper coin and said, "Does any of you know that Taixia Zhenxing is such an ancient coin?"

A group of people shook their heads in a daze, and Li Du acted like a master and said, "Why don't you check it online?"

He didn't know what Daxia Zhenxing was, so he asked everyone to check it online. If they found an introduction about this ancient coin on the Internet, he just went downhill.

If there is no introduction about this ancient coin on the Internet, he can make up stories casually.

Overwhelmed by his demeanor, everyone took out their mobile phones to check.

Zhang Xuening's mobile phone has the fastest Internet access speed, she searched and said in surprise: "No way, belly, this ancient coin of the old demon is Taixia Zhenxing?"

Li Du nodded and said, "Yes, what did you find?"

"Taixia Zhenxing is an ancient coin minted by Emperor Helian Bobo of the Great Xia during the Sixteen Kingdoms period. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he established the country in Shaanxi in 407 AD and called it Xia. After occupying Chang'an in 419, Jianyuan was called Zhenxing. This coin was minted. at this time."

"On this ancient coin, Tai Ye is from the big, so another name of the ancient coin is Daxia Zhenxing, where Daxia is the country name, Zhenxing is the year name, with a diameter of 2.35 cm, a diameter of 0.85 cm, and a weight of 3.03 grams. Very precious very precious very precious!"

"How precious is it?" Du Hang asked anxiously.

Holding his mobile phone, Du Zhengnan said in surprise: "Fuck, in 2004, an ancient coin of this kind was sold at a high price of 1.657 million RMB in Kyoto! Is it real or fake?!"

Li Du was also very surprised, this coin is so valuable? It was worth more than 1.65 million a few years ago?

The others were even more surprised, and shouted: "What the hell, right? Show me!" "It's really expensive, and the money is said to be very little!"

Yao Zhibo was stunned. He looked at Li Du blankly, and could only say, "Don't make fun of me, don't make fun of me!"

Li Du didn't care about pretending to be an expert, so he also took out his mobile phone to search for information.

As Zhang Xuening said, the caster of this copper coin was Helian Bobo, the founding emperor of the "Great Xia Kingdom" established by the Huns during the Sixteen Kingdoms period.

He Lianbo established Daxia in 407 A.D. In 417, he united with the Eastern Jin Dynasty to conquer Houqin, the largest country in the north at that time. He seized Guanzhong from the Eastern Jin Dynasty the following year, and became the hegemony with the most terrifying military strength in the north.

Due to the seizure of Guanzhong and the acquisition of a lot of wealth and trophies, the "Great Xia Zhenxing" is made of exquisite materials and exquisite casting work. However, this kind of money has been little known for a long time because it has too few surviving worlds.

Why are they so rare? It turned out that Helian Bobo, who started his career by launching a rebellion, established a deformed country with a powerful military and lagging behind in economic and administrative construction. There was no formal administrative division at all.

"Great Xia Zhenxing" is to some extent a kind of "commemorative coin", that is, a prop for Helian Bobo to show off his wealth and status. Because of this, its quantity will not be large, and it will not be used in large quantities for market circulation .

Helian Bobo died in the sixth year of Zhenxing, and the capital of Daxia was captured by the Northern Wei Dynasty two years later. The devastated Daxia finally died in 431.

In this way, even if "Great Xia Zhenxing" was cast in the first year of Zhenxing, its "legal existence" history is only 12 years, and naturally there is not much left.

There is also reliable evidence for the rarity and value of this coin. During the Daoguang period, Liu Xihai mentioned this ancient coin when he commented on Weng Shupei's "Ancient Spring Huikao", saying that Gu Yuan, a Suzhou collector, had obtained it from a man named Chen Zhongxi. One, very precious.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, a collector named Luo Zhenyu finally got one, which was cited as a rare commodity. Luo Zhenyu, who has seen the big world, was overjoyed and named his house "Helian Quanshe", which means the house where the coins of the Great Xia Kingdom are collected.

More and more information was unearthed by them, and they exclaimed continuously.

The waiter thought something was wrong inside, so he quickly opened the door and asked, "Is there anything I need?"

Li Du waved his hands and said, "Don't serve the food and wine, we have something to discuss here."

He returned the coin to Yao Zhibo, and a dozen people gathered together to read it.

This coin is badly worn, and two of the four characters on the ancient coin are blurred, among which 'Da' and 'Xing' are fairly clear, and the characters 'Xia' and 'Zhen' in half official script and half regular script are rather vague.

However, after careful identification, the two characters can still be barely recognized.

"Is this the real thing? Isn't it a counterfeit coin made by later generations?" Du Hang asked.

Li Du patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, it's absolutely genuine, I can guarantee it."

Yao Zhibo stared blankly at him and said, "Is this worth more than 1.6 million?"

"The price was a few years ago, and it is definitely more than that now!" Someone said.

Li Du shook his head: "This coin can't be sold for more than 1.6 million yuan, it's of average quality."

The news about the auction at that time included photos of the ancient coin, and the appearance of that ancient coin was well preserved.

Yao Zhibo looked at him expectantly and said, "Then how much do you think this coin can sell for?"

Li Du couldn't bear to let him down, so he forced himself to be calm and said, "Millions are fine!"
