[BUNJANG] Ancient Chinese Liang Copper Coin (Warring States Period) / 기원전 221년 춘추전국시대 교량폐
In ancient China, it was common to create currency (like spade money and knife money) modeled after actual tools such as shovels. The Liang coin, however, is modeled after the 'Qing' (磬), an ancient stone percussion instrument. The Liang coin is a variant currency derived from the Qing coin and was one of the major currencies of the Warring States period.
Its historical value is immense as it represents the final product of a period when each state maintained its own currency system, just before Qin Shi Huang unified China in 221 BC and standardized currency to the 'Ban Liang' coin. Compared to typical spade or knife money, its rarity is high due to a smaller excavation volume.
Beyond its value as ancient currency, it retains the form of an ancient musical instrument, giving it significant archaeological and artistic collectible value.
This Liang coin has been authenticated as genuine by "CCG (中乾評級)", a professional appraisal institution headquartered in Beijing, China, and was acquired through a Hong Kong auction. CCG, along with GBCA, specializes in appraising Chinese antiques and is highly trusted and recognized, with items appraised by them being eligible for major international auctions.
Furthermore, this Liang coin measures 156mm in diameter and weighs 39g, classifying it as a large-sized coin, suggesting it held significant high-value denomination at the time. For Liang coins of this size and in good condition with official appraisal, the winning bid typically ranges from approximately 600,000 to 1,000,000 KRW.
춘추전국시대(기원전 770년 ~ 기원전 221년) 말기에 위(魏)나라 지역에서 통용된 교량폐(橋樑幣)입니다.
고대 중국에서는 삽 등 실제 도구의 모양을 본떠 화폐(도폐, 포폐 등)를 만드는 것이 일반적이었는데, 경폐는 고대 석제 타악기인 경(磬)을 본떠 만든 것입니다. 교량폐는 경폐에서 파생된 변형화폐이며, 전국시대의 주요 화폐 중 하나입니다.
교량폐는 기원전 221년 진시황이 중국을 통일하며 화폐를 '반량전'으로 통일하기 직전, 각 나라가 독자적인 화폐제도를 유지하던 시기의 마지막 산물이라는 점에서 역사적 가치가 크며, 일반적인 도폐나 포폐에 비해 출토량이 적어 희소성이 높습니다. 또한 단순한 고대화폐로서의 가치를 넘어 고대 악기의 형태를 간직하고 있어 고고학적, 예술적 소장 가치가 높습니다.
이 교량폐는 중국 베이징에 본사를 둔 전문감정기관인 “CCG(中乾評級)”에서 진품으로 감정을 받은 물품으로, 홍콩경매를 통해 낙찰받은 물품입니다. CCG는 중국 내에서 GBCA와 함께 중국 고전 감정에 특화된 곳으로 해당 감정사에서 감정받은 물품은 해외 주요경매에 출품이 가능할 정도로 그 신뢰도와 인지도가 높습니다.
또한 해당 교량폐는 지름 156mm, 무게 39g으로 대형 교량폐에 속하며, 이는 당시에도 상당한 고액면의 가치를 지녔음을 시사합니다. 이 교량폐처럼 보존 상태가 양호하고 공식 감정을 받은 경우 낙찰가는 약 60만원~100만원 수준을 형성하고 있습니다.
