In this world, what other country can be called "China"? Could it be that these things are not from ghosts and gods, but relics of a certain ancient dynasty? But if such exquisite things can be made, how come they have not been recorded in history books?
Yang Yizhong didn't dare to think too much, but he did have a guess about the word "bank". Although it was not until four or five hundred years later, when American silver poured in in large quantities, that silver became legal tender, but precious metals are naturally currencies after all. Considering the size of the disc, it is indeed suitable for use as a coin. So the "bank" is most likely the government office responsible for minting coins.
But if it was really a coin that was used daily and minted in large quantities, rather than manufactured in small quantities, then the technical ability reflected in its exquisite patterns would be even more amazing!
Several kinds of flowers are common, such as peony and orchid. The patterns on the national character coins are more complicated and delicate.
In the center is a tall tower with five gates. Generally speaking, the more gates a city has, the greater the defense pressure. It would be a joke if a city was built like this. However, if it was not for city defense, then the only place that could build such a tower with five gates could be the imperial city, right? And it is incomparable to the "small" imperial city in Kaifeng. The sky above the tower is not the sun and the moon, but five five-pointed stars, one large and four small, with the large star in the center and the small stars surrounding it. Associating it with the word "republic", could it mean one king and four assistants? If it is represented by stars, the possibility of it coming from the starry sky or the heavenly palace seems to have become higher.
Further out, wheat is surrounded by a disc with serrated teeth below, and the two are connected by cloth. Wheat is relatively easy to understand, as it is a grain like the "ji" in Sheji. But Yang Yizhong didn't recognize the disc. After thinking hard, an inspiration suddenly flashed. Perhaps it seemed that he had seen something similar in the Imperial Observatory?
He was cheered up by this idea and felt that he had finally figured out the secret.
Are the stars in the sky coming to help our Song Dynasty?
Yang Yizhong carefully put away the coin.
