AYuanfeng Tongbao( nguyên phong thông bảo )cash coinfrom theNorthern Song dynastywith a "flower (or 'rosette') hole" in the middle.

Cash coins with flower (rosette) holes(traditional Chinese:Hoa xuyên tiền;simplified Chinese:Hoa xuyên tiền;pinyin:huā chuān qián) are a type of cash coin with an octagonal hole as opposed to a square one, they have a very long history possibly dating back to the firstBan Liang( nửa lượng ) cash coins cast under theState of Qinor theHan dynasty.[1]Cash coins are characterised by their round shape and square hole, but Huachuanqian are cash coins with an octagonal hole.[2]These octagonal holes are mostly found inChinese cash coins,but are in some rare instances also found inJapanese,Korean,andVietnamese cash coins.

During theimperial periodinChinese historya relatively small number of Chinese cash coins were minted with what are termed "flower holes", "chestnut holes" or "rosette holes", these holes were octagonal but resembled the shape of flowers.[3]The exact origin and purpose of these variant holes is currently unknown but several hypotheses have been proposed by Chinese scholars.[4]While Huachuanqian are believed to have disappeared in China following thetransition from Ming to Qing,they continued to appear among Korean cash coins until the Koreansabolished their cash coins.

Westernnumismatic sources often refer to these cash coins as having "star" holes.[5]Amongcoin collectorsHuachuanqian sell for a premium compared to their square holed counterparts with the same inscription.[5]If the shape of these holes were only hexagonal then they were referred to as "turtle shell hole coins" ( mai rùa xuyên tiền ).[6]

While initially the field of Chinese numismatics neglected the study of Huachuanqian, after an article published in the journalChinese Numismaticsin 1994 brought this phenomenon to mainstream attention, wider interest in these cash coins was generated and they have since been seen as their own separate category of cash coins.

Characteristics

[edit]

From theWarring States periodof theZhou dynastyuntil the early 20th century the standard cash coin was round with a square central hole.[7][8]The round shape of the coin symbolised the supposed round shape of the sky, while the centre hole in this analogy is said to represent the planet earth ( trời tròn đất vuông ).[9][10]The body of these early round coins was called their "flesh" ( thịt ) and the central hole was known as "the good" ( hảo ).[9]Cash coins were generally cast as opposed to being hammered.[11]

Over the millennia that they were issues by various dynastic states, the square hole in the centre of cash coins had experienced numerous, but minor changes over their long history.[12]These changes resulted in the square hole in the centre being slightly bigger, smaller, elongated, misshaped, or at times they were filled with some excess metal from the production process.[12]Despite these changes, the design and shape of cash coins have remained consistent throughout most of themonetary history of China,making cash coins easily recognised as being distinctively "Chinese" for over 2000 years.[12][2]However, a relatively small number of cash coins that circulated in Chinese history notably had a differently shaped central hole with a recognisably artistic flair, namely hexagonal and octagonal central holes.[12][2]

The Chinese typically refer to these eight-sided holed cash coins as having a "flower hole" ( hoa xuyên ), a "rosette hole", or a "chestnut hole".[12]Besides the Mandarin termHuachuanqian( hoa xuyên tiền ) they are also known asLinghuachuanqian( lăng hoa xuyên tiền ).[13]

While some believe that these "flower hole" cash coins were accidentally created due to the incompetence of mint workers who produced faulty cash coins, others believe that these "flower holes" weren't mere accidental creations and had some sort of significance, meaning that they were intentionally created.[12]

Huachuanqian are characterised by the fact that they have very distinct 8-sided central holes on both their obverse and reverse sides, though the number of sides can vary.[6]Furthermore, vast majority of known "flower (rosette) holed" cash coins tend to have very clear inscriptions.[6]Besides "flower holes", there are also "turtle shell holes" which have 6 sides instead of 8.[6]

All sides of the hole are usually contained within the border of the cash coin's inner rim, which surrounds the hole in the middle.[14][6]

History

[edit]

Production and circulation of Huachuanqian

[edit]

The exact origins of the first appearance of Huachuanqian is difficult to determine as there are no written records that document them.[12]However, archeological evidence has determined that the earliest known cash coins with "flower" holes had the inscriptionBan Liang( nửa lượng ) and could have been cast either during theQin dynastyperiod or by the succeedingHan dynasty.[12]While these early contenders are quite well documented, other early examples of Huachuanqian include a number of types ofXin dynasty coinages,includingHou Quan( hóa tuyền ) cash coins and a variety of the Huo Bu ( hóa bố ) coin, a type of coinage produced during the reign of EmperorWang Mangwhich resembled ancient Zhou dynasty periodshovel- or spade shaped-money.[12]Huachuanqian with the inscriptionWu Zhu( năm thù ) are thought to be exceptionally rare and cash coins with "flower holes" aren't commonly seen throughout the first half of the first millennium.[15]While the Huachuanqian is most closely associated with the establishment of theTang dynastywhere they became less rare, these earlier examples date 7 centuries before this occurred, meaning that they are much older than traditionally thought.[12]

By the early Tang dynasty period, the appearance of Huachuanqian was already commonly seen in general circulation.[12]Over time they would become more common as during the middle to later years of the Tang dynasty period, the Huachuanqian would circulate all over the various territories of the empire.[12]Chinese scholarDing Fubaonoted that the appearance of Huachuanqian was most closely associated withKaiyuan Tongbaocash coins and those of the Northern Song period.[16]

In the periods subsequent to the Tang dynasty Huachuanqian would continue to be manufactured on fairly large numbers.[12]A significant amount of Huachuanqian could be found throughout theSong dynastyperiod.[12]Meanwhilethe coinageproduced by theKhitan-ledLiao dynastywas largely based on theNorthern Song dynasty coinageand likewise also feature a number of cash coins with "flower holes".[16][12]Song dynasty cash coins with "flower (rosette) holes" can be found in allcalligraphic styles of writingincludingseal script,clerical script,regular script,running script,andgrass script.[16][12]However, Huachuanqian would become less commonly seen during the reign of theSouthern Song dynastyperiodEmperor Xiaozong.[12]The reason for this decline in the quantity of Huachuanqian can possibly be attributed to 2 major reforms to the designs of the currency that appeared during his reign.[12]Namely, until the year 1180 the Song dynasty produced "matched cash coins" ( đối tiền,duì qián) which were cash coins with identical inscriptions written in different styles ofChinese calligraphy,after these coins were superseded by cash coins that included the year of production on their reverse sides the practice of casting cash coins with "flower holes" also seems to have drastically decreased.[12]This practice started during the 7th year of the production of theChunxi Yuanbao( thuần hi nguyên bảo ), which was produced from 1174 until the year 1189.[12]This practice started with the traditional Chinese character "Bảy" (7) appearing on the reverse sides of Chunxi Yuanbao cash coins in the year 1180, which was also the same year that the government of the Song dynasty abolished the issuance of "matched cash coins".[12]Due to this it is hypothesised that "flower holes" were added to Chinese cash coins to signify a year or period of the year or possibly a location where a cash coin was produced (see below).[12]

While the appearance of Huachuanqian saw an abrupt decline after Emperor Xiaozong ascended to the Chinese throne, Huachuanqian would continue to be produced, though now in drastically reduced quantities, during the subsequent dynasties.[12]

During theMing dynastyperiod "flower holes" were still (rarely) recorded inHongwu Tongbao( Hồng Vũ thông bảo ) andYongle Tongbao( Vĩnh Nhạc thông bảo ) cash coins, with theChongzhen Tongbao( Sùng Trinh thông bảo ) series being the last recorded known cash coins to have "flower holes".[12]

Modern studies and research into Huachuanqian

[edit]

Centuries after their production manycoin collectorsregarded Huachuanqian as "rubbish" ( rác rưởi phẩm ) coins and often mockingly referred to as "wildchrysanthemum"( dã cúc hoa ) money.[17]It wasn't until the numismatic researcherZhang Hongming( trương hoành minh ) reported on them in an article entitled "The history and origins of Flower Hole Coins" ( hoa xuyên tiền thời đại cùng nguồn gốc vấn đề ) inChinese Numismatics( Trung Quốc tiền tệ ) published in 1994 that collector interest in Huachuanqian grew causing the Chinese coin collecting community to value Huachuanqian more causing it to grow into its own specialised sub-field of Chinese numismatics.[18][17]The 4th issue ofChinese Numismaticsthe same year published a group of letters from readers, authors, and editors, after reading the response papers and letters, Zhang Hongming was deeply inspired to respond and expand his research into this field.[18]These articles filled a big gap in the study of Chinese Huachuanqian.[18]

Hypotheses concerning their origin

[edit]

Traditional explanation for flower hole coins - Mould shift

[edit]

Chinese cash coins cast in clay, stone, or bronze moulds

[edit]

The traditional explanation as to why a small number of cash coins have "flower holes" is due to the fact that early cash coins were produced using clay, stone, or bronze coinmoulds.[12][19]Cash coins weretypically cast,contrasted to WesternEurasiancoins which were typicallyhammered.[20][21][12]Historians still debate when the "stack casting" method was first used, some believe that it originated during the Warring States period while others than it started sometime during the Western Han dynasty period by commoners.[19][22]Ancient Chinese texts reporting on the appearance and circulation of cash coins with "flower (rosette) holes" traditionally concluded that their creation was the result of the 2 halves of the coin mould accidentally being shifted during the production process of the ancient Chinese casting method.[12]The casting process in these early moulds worked in a way that two mould-sections were placed together, then the core of the mould was placed into the top area, then the bronze smiths would pour molten metal into an opening that was formed by a cavity that was located in its centre.[23][24][25]This explanation claims that during the pouring of molten metal into the coin mould the top and bottom halves of the coin mould would rotate or shift changing the way that the central square hole would end up creating the hexagonal or octagonal hole typically of these coins.[12]

A number of Chinese andTaiwanesenumismatists and numismatic publications over the years have proposed this hypothesis, including theConcise Dictionary of Ancient Coins( đơn giản rõ ràng tiền cổ từ điển ) published in 1988[26]and the bookPractical knowledge of Chinese coins( Trung Quốc tiền tệ thực dụng tri thức sách tranh ) published in 1989.[27]However, this hypothesis has been heavily scrutinised by numismatists afterwards. For example, numismatic researcherGary Ashkenazyof thePrimalTrekwebsite notes that this traditional explanation is problematic as a mould shift wouldn't just shift the orientation of the central hole, but it would shift everything including theChinese charactersand any other symbols that were present on the obverse side of the cash coin.[12]Gary Ashkenazy notes that as all symbols and inscriptions found on cash coins with "flower holes" tend to be as crisp and distinct as their ordinary square holed counterparts, debunking this traditional hypothesis as being "obviously inadequate".[12]Numismatic researcher Zhang Hongming also notes these issues with this common hypothesis, further noting that cash coins which were cast with errors are known as "wrong money" ( sai phạm tiền, sai phạm tiền ) and don't typically resemble Huachuanqian.[28]

Furthermore, all 8 sides of the "flower hole" and all 6 sides of the "turtle shell hole" are typically contained within the border of the cash coin's inner rim, which surrounds the hole in the middle of the coin.[12]This means that Huachuanqian cannot have been created as the result of either a mould or sand tray shift, because then the inner rim's inside which surrounds the actual hole would likely also feature more sides if this hypothesis was correct.[12]Finally, the issue with this hypothesis is the fact that 4 "additional" sides form a standard-sized square would merely be rotated about 45 degrees from the primary square central hole rather than create the effect we see in Huachuanqian.[12]

Chinese cash coins cast in sand moulds

[edit]

Cash coins with "flower holes" became more common with the introduction of theKaiyuan Tongbao( khai nguyên thông bảo ) during the reign ofEmperor Gaozuof theTang dynasty.[29][12]During the Tang dynasty the "stack casting" with clay moulds was slowly phased out in favour of the "sand castingmethod "( nghề đúc pháp ), this new methodology of coin casting usedmother coins( mẫu tiền ) allowing for a consistent design to be used when mass-producing cash coins.[30][12]

Using this method, it isn't possible for a mould to shift as there was no longer a hard mould that could shift as was the case in the earlier casting method, meaning that "flower holes" could under no circumstances have been createdduringthe casting process and were most likely created by hand after they were already cast.[12]

Flower holes were intentionally created by hand

[edit]

As the "flower holes" present in the Huachuanqian could not have been caused by an error at any time in the manufacturing process, it is reasoned that they were likely created sometime after the cash coins were already extracted from the coin moulds.[12][28]Following the removal of the cash coins from their moulds, the coins would appear as if they were "leaves" of a "coin tree"( tiền thụ ) where they had to be broken off, all excess copper-alloy had to be manually chiseled or filed off from the central holes.[12][28]This is because the cash coins were still connected to each other by the channel-like "branches" that permitted the molten metal to be flown throughout the coin mould.[12][28]The rod used during this post-removal chiseling process was square so that once the cash coins, with their square holes in the middle, were stacked onto the rod the coins could no longer rotate.[12][28]The coin mint workers could then use a file to remove any metal excess sprue (stubs) leftover around the rims that were made during the casting process, making sure that in the result the outer rims of the cash coins were round.[12][28]

It is suspected that the "flower holes" and "turtle shell holes" were produced during chiseling process, presumably while the employee of the manufacturing mint was doing the final details of the cash coins.[12][28]As manually filing and chiseling cash coins was both an additional expense as well as time-consuming it is likely that the creation of "flower holes" and "turtle shell holes" was ordered by the manufacturer.[12][28]

While the possibility exists that a small number of Huachuanqian were indeed the accidental creation of casting errors by mint workers using chisels to clear excess metal that had flown into the central hole area during coin casting process.[12][28]However, as the quality of Tang and Song dynasty coinages was quite high it's unlikely that the supervisors would have allowed for a large number of these variant coins to be produced, pass quality control or be allowed to enter circulation.[31][12]

Possible meanings

[edit]

While it is not known why Huachuanqian were produced as no historical records explain their appearance, a number of hypotheses exist to explain their possible meaning.[12][28]While their creation may at times have been an error, the fairly large quantities of Huachuanqian that found their way into general circulation during the Tang and Song dynasty periods in particular, two Chinese dynasties which were generally renowned for their practice of producing cash coins with both high standards and high quality, would indicate that the common presence of Huachuanqian was likely an intentional embellishment.[12][28]It is therefore believed that the presence of "flower holes" and "turtle shell holes" may have had an important significance.[12][28]

The hypotheses explaining their possible significance include:

Cash coins with "turtle shell holes"

[edit]
AShaosheng Yuanbao( Thiệu thánh nguyên bảo ) cash coin with a "turtle shell hole".

Cash coins with "turtle shell holes"(traditional Chinese:Mai rùa xuyên tiền;simplified Chinese:Mai rùa xuyên tiền;pinyin:Guījiǎ chuān qián) are similar to Huachuanqian, but rather than having eight-sided holes, these "turtle shell holes" are six-sided.[32][12]Like Huachuanqian, the Guijiachuan have been subject to numismatic study and are often grouped together with the Huachuanqian when discussing their origins, circulation, and possible hidden meanings.[33][34]

Japan, Korea, and Vietnam

[edit]

WhileJapanese,Korean,andVietnamese cash coinsare based on Chinese cash coins both in design and in production, the quality of the cash coins produced inJapan,Korea,andVietnamvaries greatly.[12]The manufacturing techniques of these cash coins was also identical to those employed by Chinese cash coins.[19][35]Yet, only very, very few cash coins from countries in theSinosphereoutside of China seem to display "flower holes". The general absence of "flower holes" in Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese cash coins strengthens the hypothesis that Huachuanqian were intentionally created instead of being a result of poor casting quality, as "flower holes" would then be as common or more common in these other cash coins.[12]

An example of a Korean cash coin with an eight-sided "flower hole" ( "rosette hole" ) includes aSangpyeong Tongbo[ko]( thường bình thông bảo ) cash coin cast at the "Government Office of Pukhan Mountain Fortress", with the mint markkyŏng( kinh ).[36]While Huachuanqian were very scarce in Chine until the Song dynasty period, cash coins with "flower holes" were gradually becoming rarer in subsequent dynasties and probably stopped being produced around theend of the Ming dynasty,which ended in 1644.[36]Meanwhile, this Sangpyeong Tongbo cash coin with a "flower hole" was produced in 1830, several centuries after the last recorded Huachuanqian were seen in China.[36]

Explanatory notes

[edit]
  1. ^This Ban Liang cash coin was cast during theWestern Han dynastyperiod under the reign ofEmpress Lü Zhiand is an8zhuBan Liang( tám thù nửa lượng tiền ). Flower holes on coins from the early Han dynasty are generally very scarce, and are among the earliest Huachuanqian that are known to exist.
  2. ^This inscription, Huo Quan ( hóa tuyền ), could be translated as "wealth coin" or "money coin", and were created in the year 14 CE during the reign of emperorWang Mang.Huo Quan cash coins with "flower holes" are typically considered to be among the most early examples of Huachuanqian. Notably, the "flower hole" on some of these Huo Quan specimens may not be as obvious as that on the cash coins that followed it.
  3. ^Besides being a Huachuanqian, this specimen also displays a number of special characteristics occasionally found on cash coins. Below the square central hole are 3 "dots" present on the cash coin which the Chinese often refer to as "stars" ( tinh ). Above the square central hole are further 2 vertical lines which are believed to represent the number "two" ( nhị ), and connecting these two lines is an incused line creating what some believe is the Chineseseal scriptcharacter for "work" ( công ).
  4. ^Cast by the Kingdom ofShu Han.This is a small and thin specimen.
  5. ^This particular Qianyuan Zhongbao cash coin has a double outer rim. This type of dual rim is known in China as achonglun( trọng luân ), which was intentionally done to indicate that this cash coin has a nominal value of 50wén,meaning that 1 of these was equal to 50 ordinary cash coins.
  6. ^This particular specimen is aHuichang Kaiyuan Tongbaocash coin. The Chinese characteryan "" ( duyện ) located above the "flower hole" of the Huachuanqian indicates that this Huichang Kaiyuan cash coin that was cast at the mint located atYan Provincein present-dayShandong.
  7. ^The inscription is read clockwise as Tianhan Yuanbao ( thiên hán nguyên bảo ). This cash coin was produced during the first year of the Tian Han reign, the year 917, under ofKing Wang Jianof theFormer Shu(First Shu) Kingdom. This particular Tianhan Yuanbao cash coin specimen exhibits a "flower (rosette) hole".
