Heritage’s Hong Kong International Numismatic Fair Auction, the last Signature sale of the year, in many ways represents the entirety of 2019’s auctions taken as a whole, including both individually spectacular items, as well important collections which will serve as a point of reference for a worldwide audience of collectors for many years to come. Below you will ind just a small sampling of what awaits. Headlining the auction is what promises to be one of the most exciting lots ever sold by Heritage World & Ancient Coins – an 1897 Szechuan Double Specimen Pattern “Ferracute” set. This set is one of only a small handful in existence and represents an early effort to modernize Chinese coinage, aided by the use of the latest technology produced by the New Jersey-based Ferracute Machine Company, the contemporary supplier of minting equipment to the Philadelphia mint. The set is nearly entirely composed of the inest certiied examples of each included type and indisputably ranks among the greatest rarities of all Chinese numismatics. The ancient section continues to increase in popularity, and for this auction we have chosen some magniicent examples of popular types to pique your interest. The Athenian owl tetradrachm is easily one of the most recognizable of ancient coins, and we have seven very attractive pieces available in a variety of grades. Gold is always on collectors' want lists, which we have covered from the beginning of ancient coinage with the Lydian Kingdom stater and fractions, toward the end of the Byzantine empire with a Basil II histamenon. A Syracuse decadrachm and Lysimachus tetradrachm, both in Fine Style, are sure to please connoisseurs of large silver issues. If spectacular toning is your cup of tea, don't miss the Ptolemy II tetradrachm, graded AU by NGC with star for exceptional eye appeal. Preserving a remarkable account of the variety of money used through the history of southeast Asia, we are extremely pleased to present an intriguing selection of odd and curious monies from the Charles J. Opitz Collection. Best known for his general survey An Ethnographic Study of Traditional Money on the subject, this assemblage is particularly strong in the “bullet money” coinage of Thailand and Chinese sycee. The prize piece of the former is likely an extremely rare silver 20 Baht presentation piece produced on the occasion of the cremation of Rama V’s mother, though a nearly complete set of gold bullet pieces from the reign of his predecessor, Rama IV, is also sure to pique specialist interest. From China, we ind an incredible 8 50-Tael sycee, including an “axe-head” type piece from the Southern Song Dynasty with a pedigree dating back over 100 years, in addition to many other odd and unlisted types. The collection is further rounded out by several large money trees and what is likely one of the most extensive private collections of Russo-Chinese tea brick money. Viewing the auction as a whole, one will ind an impressive presentation of Chinese offerings bound to astonish by their combined beauty, rarity, and condition. Among the very earliest of these is an incredibly rare example of Warring States Period gold Block, or Cube, money, incredibly preserved in the form of a larger conjoined block of 18 squares and representing the earliest gold coinage of China, produced between 400 and 220 B.C. Collectors of more modern coinage will be compelled to explore in greater detail a number of specimens, including a superb Mint State example of the famed Kweichow “Auto” Dollar, certiied MS61 by NGC, and an MS65-certiied Mausoleum Dollar from the Republic of China. We are excited by what this auction holds in store and are conident that you will share this sentiment when you see the abundance of engaging material presented. As always, if there is anything we can do to make your experience the best that it can be, you need only ask. We hope to see you in Hong Kong, whether in person or online in spirit. Best of luck, and happy bidding.

They were widely circulated in Asia from the sixteenth to the middle of the nineteenth century. But they were generally less favoured by most Asian Government , though they were made legal tender in Singapore in 1867. During the 1870s, the value of silver beｭ gan to depreciate. This meant the opening the “ T rade Dollar Era". Western countries began to mint and export silver trade dollars for circulation in silver-using countries. The Hong Kong dollar was minted in 1866, the US trade dollar in 1873, and the British dollar in 1895. They did so beｭ cause the value of silver in silver-using countries , particularly in China , were not depreciating at the same rate as it was in the Western Countries. So they wanted their own trade dollar to replace Mexｭ ican dollars in Asia.

  • The Warring States and Monetizing Economies
    The Warring States and Monetizing Economies An Analogical Research on the Causal Relationships between Geopolitics, Economics, and the Emergence of the Round Coinage of China Tiivistelmä ”The Warring States and Monetizing Economies: An Analogical Research on the Causal Relationships between Geopolitics, Economics, and the Emergence of the Round Coinage of China” on Helsingin yliopiston arkeologian oppiaineen pro gradu –tutkielma. Se on kirjoitettu englannin kielellä. Pro gradussa tutkitaan syitä sille, miksi Kiinassa otettiin Itäisen Zhou-dynastian aikana (770 - n. 256 eaa.) käyttöön pyöreät pronssikolikot toisenlaisten rahamuotojen rinnalle. Tuolloin Kiina koostui vielä useasta itsenäisestä valtiosta, jotka olivat jatkuvissa sodissa toisiaan vastaan. Pro gradussa osoitetaan pyöreiden kolikoiden pääfunktion olleen näiden valtioiden kansalaisten harjoittaman päivittäis- ja paikallistason kaupankäynnin helpottaminen, jolla on ollut suuri merkitys paikallisyhteisöjen vaurauden ja omavaraisuuden ylläpitämisessä. Tällä on puolestaan ollut merkittävä rooli kansalaisilta kerättyjen verovarojen määrän maksimoinnissa. Verovaroilla oli puolestaan hyvin merkittävä rooli valtioiden armeijoiden ylläpidossa, joiden olemassaoloon valtioiden selviytyminen nojautui. Pyöreiden kolikoiden suuri merkitys Itäisen Zhou-dynastian valtioiden paikallis- ja valtiotason ekonomiassa osoitetaan lähestymällä aihetta kolmen eri tutkimuskeinon avulla. Näistä ensimmäisenä käsiteltävä koskee aikakaudella käytettyjen pronssirahatyyppien fyysisiä eroja. Näiden perusteella
