廣州東朝文化：北宋錢幣——元豐通寶半月

元豐通寶，中國古代錢幣之一。北宋神宗趙頊，元豐年間（公元1078年～公元1085年）鑄造。有小平，折二錢和鐵錢。書體有篆書、行書、隸書三種，互成對錢。版別極其複雜，其中以背月小平錢，小平大字篆書，隸書比較少見，另有鐵錢，其中背“陝”者罕見。

Yuanfeng Tongbao is one of the ancient Chinese coins。 Zhao Xu， the Shenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty， was cast in the Yuanfeng period （1078-1085 A。D。）。 There‘s Xiao Ping， two percent discount and iron money。 There are seal script， running script and official script in calligraphy， which are in pairs of money。 The edition is extremely complex， among which Xiaoping Qian recites the moon， Xiaoping big character seal script， official script is relatively rare， and there is iron money， among which the recitation of “Shaanxi” is rare。

宋錢應該說在古錢的中國歷史上到了鼎盛時期，其設計是在中國曆代古錢當中比較下工夫、比較講究的。錢文大部分都是出於書法大家，特別像宋徽宗“大觀通寶”，就是用它的瘦經體來書寫的，中國古錢的藝術性主要反映在書法上。

Song Qian should be said to have reached its heyday in the Chinese history of ancient money， and its design is more diligent and exquisite among the ancient Chinese money of all ages。 Most of the money is written by calligraphers， especially the song Huizong “Grand View Tong Bao”， which is written in its thin Scripture。 The artistry of ancient Chinese money is mainly reflected in calligraphy。

由於宋錢品類繁多，版別複雜多樣，往往有因形制、文字、紋飾等方面存在差異的各種版別，有的版別甚至很稀有。此枚錢幣為少有的背半月，呈熟坑之相，其中，薄鏽之處，包漿滋潤，踏實無虛，銅色則是當然自然老熟，存世稀少，具有收藏價值。

Because of the variety of categories and the complexity of the editions， there are many different editions， some of which are even rare。 This coin is rare with a half moon on its back。 It looks like a pit of ripeness。 It is thin and rusty。 It is moistened with slurry。 It is solid and solid。 The copper color is naturally mature and rare。 It has a collection value。

正是因為這一點，使得歷代泉家孜孜不倦去收藏和研究，為不斷髮現新品，豐富和完善中國古錢文化添磚加瓦。

It is precisely because of this that spring families of all ages have been tireless in collecting and studying， contributing to the continuous discovery of new products and the enrichment and improvement of ancient Chinese money culture。
