LyThaiTo | Shuntian Dabao | The casting time should be after 1011 (the second year of Li Shuntian). Its shape is that Qian Yuan is moderate, and the words "Shuntian Dabao" on Qian Wen are read in pairs. It is true, slanting, uneven and coordinated. Li Taizu called his coins "Dabao", which is different from the names of "Tongbao", "Yuanbao" and other coins used in the previous dynasties of China and Vietnam (the Ding Dynasty and the former Li Dynasty). The "Shuntian Dabao" is thick in shape, larger than the coins of Ding, Qianli and Chenshi, and weighs about 5g. The "Shuntian Dabao" found so far has only one format and its circulation scope is quite limited. |
Li Taizong | Mingdao Yuanbao | It was minted twice in 1042 (the first year of Li Mingdao) and 1043 (the second year of Li Mingdao). The words "Mingdao Yuanbao" on the coins are also called "Mingdao Qian". It has two formats, one is bold font, the other is narrow font. Both fonts are authentic. It was minted and circulated in a small number, and was used together with other currencies. Coincidentally, Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty of China also cast "Ming Dao Yuanbao", but Li Taizong's "Ming Dao Yuanbao" is obviously different from that of Renzong of the Song Dynasty in terms of casting technology and style. |
Tiangan Yuanbao | It was forged by Li Taizong in his later years. The words "Tiangan Yuanbao" on the coins have two forms: one is bare back, the other is "Ganwang" (Ganwang is Li Rizhong, the second son of Li Taizong, and the words "Ganwang" were cast on the coins to show Li Taizong's favor for Li Rizhong and his mother). Both fonts are authentic. |
Li Shengzong | / | There is no literature record or physical discovery of Li Shengzong's coinage. |
Li Renzong | Tianfu Tongbao | Li Renzong's Tianfu Ruiwu (1120-1126) and Tianfu Qingshou (1127) were cast in his later years. There is only one style version. The "Tianfu Tongbao" on the text of the money is read in rotation. It uses authentic books and has a rough manufacturing process. It is similar to Li Taizu's "Shuntian Dabao". The money is large, thick, and smooth back. The money is moderately shaped, well defined, and well distributed, but the text is relatively rigid. The number of "Tianfu Tongbao" was very small, which was based on the Li Dynasty's emphasis on agriculture and suppression of commerce, and its contempt for the role of monetary economy. |
Tianfu Yuanbao | The "Tianfu Yuanbao" was thought by later scholars to be a private coin. Its Qian Wenxuan reads, "Yuan" is in seal script, and the other three characters are in authentic script. The margin of Qian is slightly wider, which is different from "Tianfu Tongbao". |
Li Shenzong | / | There is no literature record of Shenzong's coin casting and no physical discovery. |
Li Yingzong | Dading reign | It was cast in Dading period (1140-1162). Its money path is relatively large. The four characters of "Dading Tongbao" are read in pairs, and the real book is used. The money margin is slightly wide, relatively thick, and bare. China's Jin Shizong also has "Dading Tongbao", while Li Yingzong's "Dading Tongbao" is Vietnamese style, and its production is relatively rough. |
Zhenglong Yuanbao | It was cast in 1163 (the first year of Zhenglong Baoying). In Qian's article, "Zheng" is written as "Zheng", which is read in four words. It is a true book, and it is bare. Li Yingzong's "Dading Tongbao" and "Zhenglong Yuanbao" are very few in number. The King of Jinhailing in China also cast the "Zhenglong Yuanbao", while the "Zhenglong Yuanbao" of Li Yingzong was relatively thick, with wide margin and uneven perforation. |
Li Gaozong | A treasure of peace | It was cast during the reign of Zhiping and Longying (1205-1210). It has two formats. One is that Qian has a large diameter, and the characters of Qian and Wen are read in four words. The real book is used. The characters of "Zhi" and "Yuan" are square, and the characters of "Ping" and "Bao" are thin and long, with a bare back. The other kind of Qian Wen is the same as the previous one, but slightly smaller, and has a wide margin. "Zhiping Longying" was cast in the late Li Dynasty, and the political situation was becoming increasingly turbulent, so there were fewer casting companies. |
Li Huizong | / | There is no literature record or physical discovery of Huizong's coin casting. |
Li Zhaohuang | / | There are no literature records and material objects found on the coins cast by Emperor Zhao. |
