Ocasionalmente, también se encuentran monedas extranjeras en China, que fueron traídas allí a través de rutas comerciales internacionales como la Ruta de la Seda , el comercio exterior con países extranjeros y el colonialismo . Y debido al comercio con otros países, también se han encontrado grandes cantidades de monedas chinas en países vecinos como Japón , Corea , [1] y Vietnam , [2] [3] así como en lugares lejanos como la isla Elcho , [4] Kenia , [5] [6] y Yukón . [7]
En 2021 se publicó un artículo sobre una antigua casa de la moneda descubierta en un sitio arqueológico en la provincia de Henan . Mediante la datación por radiocarbono, se atribuyó que la moneda de pala encontrada allí se creó entre el 640 a. C. y no más tarde del 550 a. C., lo que la convierte posiblemente en la casa de la moneda más antigua conocida del mundo. [8] Esto significa que es posible que la primera moneda conocida haya sido inventada por los chinos y no por los lidios como se cree comúnmente. [8] [9]
Limpieza de monedas por arqueólogos chinos
Los arqueólogos chinos suelen desenterrarse en tumbas de monedas antiguas y otras formas de moneda histórica chinas, pero estas monedas de bronce desenterradas suelen estar muy corroídas porque han estado enterradas durante cientos o miles de años, lo que a veces significa que las inscripciones en ellas no se pueden leer. [10] Si bien los arqueólogos que trabajan en un sitio tienden a hacer todo muy lentamente y lo hacen de la manera más metódica posible para evitar dañar las reliquias culturales enterradas, este enfoque no se adopta con las monedas en efectivo porque a menudo son vitales para datar las tumbas o las ruinas. [10] Con las monedas en efectivo chinas antiguas, los arqueólogos tienden a estar menos preocupados por su preservación y las limpian para identificarlas. [10]
Para limpiar las monedas de bronce, los arqueólogos chinos simplemente las ponen en remojo en un ácido suave, como vinagre, durante un período de 2 o 3 días. Una vez realizado este proceso, se elimina la suciedad de la superficie y parte de la corrosión. [10] Luego, la persona que realiza la limpieza retira las monedas y raspa cualquier resto de corrosión en los caracteres chinos utilizando un palillo de dientes (común) . [10] Una vez realizado este proceso, generalmente se frotan las monedas desenterradas. [10]
Por el contrario, entre los coleccionistas de monedas se suele decir que no se deben limpiar las monedas porque el proceso de limpieza a menudo reduce el valor de mercado de la moneda o en algunos casos incluso la arruina. [10]
Debido a la alta frecuencia del descubrimiento de tesoros de monedas en China, los tesoros de monedas sin limpiar de otros países con frecuencia se envían a China para su limpieza y evaluación. [11] Por ejemplo, alguien descubrió un tesoro de un grupo de alrededor de 400 monedas diferentes de 8 reales en la frontera entre México y el país centroamericano de Guatemala . [11] Estas monedas de plata fueron producidas principalmente por la Casa de la Moneda de Guatemala con otras producidas por las Casas de la Moneda de México y Lima , todas las cuales contenían retratos de los reyes Carlos IV y Fernando VII . [11] Como estas monedas estaban demasiado sucias para ser consideradas "valiosas" por los coleccionistas de monedas, fueron enviadas a un comerciante de monedas en Jiangsu , República Popular de China. [11] Tales situaciones son comunes ya que los comerciantes de monedas chinos se han vuelto expertos en eliminar la corrosión de las monedas para que los expertos numismáticos las clasifiquen y luego las vendan en el mercado minorista. [11]
^Both the Records of the Grand Historian and the Book of Han mention that the agency responsible for the production of the Bai Jin San Pin (白金三品) coins was the Shaofu (少府). Various English translations of Shaofu exist, these include "Privy Treasurer", "Minister Steward", "Chamberlain of the Palace Revenues", and "Superintendent of the Lesser Treasury" (further reading: "Translation of Han dynasty titles"). The Shaofu was the government agency that oversaw the management of the palace treasury, i.e., the private finances of the Han dynasty'd imperial clan.
^This specimen of a spade coin—which look like shrunken versions of the gardening tool—was just shy of 6 inches in length and about 2.5 inches in width, the bronze spade coin weighed about 27 grams.
