治元通寶是什麼錢幣

元通寶是五代十國貨幣，始鑄於周世宗顯德二年（公元955年）。世宗顯德二年（955）始鑄。仿唐“開元通寶”錢制鑄錢，名“周元通寶”。銅質小平，隸書對讀。“元”字第二筆左挑，背有月紋、星紋或星月紋。星紋或左、右或上、下，月紋不常其處，或上或下或左或右，或穿之一角。每錢背月似為八卦方位之一。因此說月紋與陰陽五行、新生、日初上有密切關係。毀佛寺3336所，取銅像鑄錢。種類很多，形制精美，有星月或龍鳳等背紋。

周世宗柴榮繼位後，為籌措軍餉，安撫百姓，於登基之初下令毀佛，將佛寺中的銅像銷燬，鑄成“周元通寶”。作為毀佛錢的一種，周元通寶在中國錢幣史和宗教發展史上都產生過深遠而重大的影響。

周元通寶花錢

周元通寶是五代十國時期後周的錢幣，也是公認的五代錢幣中做工較為精美的錢幣。周元通寶用佛銅鑄造，辟邪效果好，民間有些偏方還將其入藥以用治病。

周元通寶是國號錢，也是毀佛錢。史書記載：顯德二年（955年），周世宗毀佛鑄”周元通寶“錢，臣下有人不贊成，周世宗以理訓示臣下說：“吾聞佛說以身世為妄，而以利人為急，使其真身尚在，苟利於世，猶欲割截，況此銅像，豈有所惜哉！”群臣皆不敢言。世宗廢天下佛寺三千三百三十六所，毀寺廟銅像鑄成周元通寶，並派臣赴高麗購銅，禁止人民藏銅。

厭勝周元

最早的厭勝錢出現在漢代，用錢來“厭祟”是因為它能“厭勝”。這不是繞口令。大約從漢代起，開始出現一種類似原始宗教的形式，叫作“厭勝”，也叫“壓勝”，即“厭而勝之”，是用法術詛咒或祈禱以達到壓服人、物或鬼怪的目的。用作厭勝的物品有很多，但若論用作厭勝品數量大、種類多的，還是要數錢幣。而周元通寶由於是佛銅所鑄，具有特殊意義，故民間私鑄的非流通的厭勝錢頗多，甚至多於行用錢。上至宋初，下至現代，周元通寶均有厭勝錢鑄造。這些厭勝錢的背面經常有龍鳳，星斗，日月和吉語，用來表達辟邪趨吉的願望，或者說是希望借錢的“神力”實現自己的願望。由於發行量極少，故而存世罕見，具有極高的收藏價值。

明治8年（公元1875年），日本政府為了便於和中國，俄羅斯，朝鮮等周邊國家以及美國，墨西哥，英國，法國，葡萄牙，西班牙和荷蘭等歐美國家進行貿易，特別鑄造發行了貿易幣。明治維新期間，日本一切社會制度皆模仿西方國家。這是一個貌似我們古時夜郎國一樣的國家，當時在國家上處處碰壁，明治三年從英國殖民地香港購的二手製作本貨幣機器一臺，當年即生產少量壹元銀幣。明治八年（1876年）日本壹萬圓鉑金幣，無論是造型或設計都是世界一流的，日本貿易幣現存世量極少。

明治八年一萬圓錢幣

背面中心位置有龍紋，龍紋張牙舞爪，怒目而視，磷須可現，栩栩如生，下緣“大日本·明治八年”七兩二錢，上緣“44a·ONE·YEN·900”ONE。該龍紋與中國傳統龍紋有細節上的差異，區別於中國龍紋傳遞的威嚴與霸氣，日本龍紋視覺。

上龍偏向兇惡，符合日本民族爭勇鬥狠的個性，且此錢幣龍紋僅3爪，較之中國龍紋的四爪五爪有較大區別。該幣材質珍貴，藝術價值高，製作精美，圖案考究，文字清秀，內容豐富，其貌可人，具有一定的保值和升值功能。

此枚大日本明治八年壹萬圓鉑金錢幣就是日本明治八年貿易幣，錢幣正面中心位置有“鉑金壹萬圓”字樣，上方刻印有代表日本皇室的十六瓣八重表菊紋徽章，左右兩邊伴以櫻菊花枝，花蕊花蕾清晰可辨，枝腳交叉成蝴蝶結狀，具有濃郁的東贏特色。

此萬元幣鑄工精良、流通痕跡明顯，在當時鑄造發行量就很小，經過100多年歲月的洗禮，存世珍罕，幣種稀少，具有極好的收藏價值。俗話說物以稀為貴，此枚大日本明治八年鉑金壹萬圓雖經歷了無窮歲月，但紋路依然清晰可見，上面的跡象也見證了其歷史的積澱，具有非常明顯的歷史過渡性特徵，有著難以言喻的收藏價值。

Sheng yuan zhou

The earliest use of money was in the Han Dynasty。 Money was used to ”dislike things“ because it could ”dislike things“。 This is not a tongue twister。 From about the Han Dynasty， a form similar to the primitive religion， called ”yusheng“， also known as ”bi sheng“， or ”yusheng shi“， began to appear。 It was the use of magic spells and prayers to subdue people， objects or ghosts。 There are a lot of things used as a nuisance， but if it is used as a nuisance in a large number and variety， it is money。 As the tongbao of the zhou and yuan dynasties was made of Buddha bronze， it had special significance， so there were a lot of non-circulating yusheng coins made privately by the people， even more than money。 Up to the early Song Dynasty， down to modern times， Zhou Yuan and Tongbao have money casting。 On the back of the money， there are often dragons， phoenixes， stars， sun and moon and auspicious words， which are used to express the wish to ward off evil spirits and seek good fortune， or the ”divine power“ of borrowing money to realize one‘s wish。 Because the circulation is very few， it is rare in the world and has a very high collection value。
