Silver coins in Guizhou
Guizhou car coin, diameter :3.95 cm weight :26 g. The center of the front is "Guizhou Silver coin "," Republic of China 17 years "," one circle ": the center of the back is grassland, automobile pattern ," Guizhou Provincial Government made ", and" seven cents and two cents ". Guizhou Mint made in 1928 to commemorate the opening of Guiyang-Tongzi Highway. Its car design is Guizhou's first car, Zhou Xicheng from Hong Kong to buy the United States Ford convertible. Since there is no highway in Guizhou, the car was torn up and carried in. The car pattern on the silver coin is the original form of the car. The use of cars as silver coins is unique in modern silver coins. Compared with Guang Xu dragon, Qing dragon and modern silver coins with characters, it is unique and popular. two monetary units were used. That is, the use of monetary "yuan" units, and the use of the abolished monetary unit in the late Qing Dynasty ," seven cents two points ", this is also the only phenomenon in the Republic of China silver coins. This kind of discord also reflects Zhou Xicheng although quite enterprising, but its feudal brand is still very deep.
據(jù)說在國際上，即便是不收藏錢幣但是喜愛車輛的玩家也會收而藏之，就更不用說愛好錢幣的藏家了。而這個紀念幣的來歷也是非常有意義的。當時貴州并無鐵路、公路，交通完全依靠步行，時任貴州省政府主席的周西成要求開辟可供汽車行駛的公路。條以貴陽為中心，西起安順北至桐梓的省道正式竣工，為表彰貴州首建公路，周西成命造幣廠制作僅有5萬枚銀元以紀念。
It is said that in the world, even players who do not collect coins but like vehicles will also collect them, let alone coin collectors. And the origin of this commemorative coin is also very meaningful. At that time, Guizhou did not have railways, roads, traffic completely rely on walking, then Chairman of the Guizhou Provincial Government Zhou Xicheng asked to open up a road for cars to drive. Taking Guiyang as the center, the provincial road from Anshun north to Tongzi in the west was officially completed. In recognition of Guizhou's first highway, Zhou Xicheng ordered the Mint to make only 50,000 silver dollars to commemorate it.
At the same time, the hidden design marked on the car coin is very interesting. Usually, the inscription on money or money is usually the name of the sculptor, and there is no precedent for making a secret record in the name of ordering the maker. Moreover, the secret is made up of patterned lines. The grass of the car pattern hides the word "Xicheng ", which is made up of grass leaves. The word" West "is on the right side and consists of seven grass. The word" Cheng "is on the left and consists of six grass. I have to say this secret is very creative. Legend has it that Zhou Xi cost wanted to emulate Yuan Shikai and Sun Zhongshan and put his portrait on the coin, but it was not in accordance with the law. Not only made a secret record, but also in this way to keep their name in later generations. In addition, the use of car coins is also very interesting units. That is to say ," circle "is used as the front monetary unit, and the back side also uses the abolished monetary unit" seven cents two points "in the late Qing Dynasty, which is also the only phenomenon in the Republic of China. The size of the car coin is the same as that of Yuan Da Tou. Because the quantity of production is not large and is used as circulation currency, the good quality is very rare. Soon after Zhou Xicheng died, the car silver yuan disappeared on the market. In recent years, with the continuous warming of the coin collection market, Guizhou auto silver coins have gradually entered the eyes of collectors, and many good prices have been made in various coin markets because of their short circulation time, narrow circulation scale and small retention of nature.
