给《新疆钱币》图册打高分（美国）ＧｅｏｒｇｅＡ．ＦｉｓｈｅｒＪｒ．王敏贤译１９９２年３月２日发行的《世界铸币报》第７页刊登了一则《新疆钱币》图册问世的短讯。我有幸在此之前已获得一本由海路从中国寄来的这一绝妙的图册。此书于１９９１年８月在香港和新疆同时发行。因在香港印刷，其彩印精美程度堪称一流水平。我对红钱及中国新疆省（现名新疆维吾尔自治区）铸造的其它钱币稍有涉猎。过去几年曾得到三本有关新疆铜钱的专业化目录，两本是台湾的（分别于１９８２年和１９８７年出版），一本是上海的（１９９１年出版），都只用拓片作图，币种仅限于铜钱（方孔圆钱），其纸张质地一般，仅略优于白报纸。而《新疆钱币》图册则覆盖的范围大得多。它跨越２０００多年，从公元前２０６年以迄１９４９年；既有金属钱币，也有纸币；既有新疆本地铸造的，又有外地流入而在新疆流通的。因此，它所包括的实物就远较前此刊行的任何一种目录都要多。收罗在这本新书之内的红钱主要品种要比其它三本书多些。但那三本目录则在更细分的版式上以及论述钱币的赝品，包括臆造品和仿冒品方面较该新书为优。新书对赝币未曾论及。此书前面有若干页的彩色图照介绍了新疆出土的古代中原铜钱（方孔圆钱），它们包括的
To “Xinjiang coin” album hit high (United States) GeorgeA. FisherJr. Wang Minxian translated the March 2, 1992 issue of the “World Cemetery” page 7 published a “Xinjiang coin” atlas appeared. I had the privilege of obtaining before this a wonderful atlases from China by sea. The book was released in Hong Kong and Xinjiang in August 1991. Due to printing in Hong Kong, its fine color printing level is first class. I have a slight read on red money and other coins that have been cast in Xinjiang Province, China (now Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region). In the past few years, there have been three specialized catalogs of coins in Xinjiang, two in Taiwan (1982 and 1987, respectively) and one in Shanghai (1991) The species is limited to coins (square hole money), the paper texture in general, only slightly better than white newspaper. The “Xinjiang coin” Atlas is covered by a much larger range. It spans more than 2,000 years from 206 BC to 1949; it has both metallic and banknotes; it is circulated in Xinjiang, both locally cast and imported from the rest of the country. Therefore, it contains much more physical objects than any of the previous catalogs. The main type of red money collected in this new book is more than the other three books. However, the three catalogs outperformed the new book in finer subdivisions and in counterfeiting of counterfeit coins, including counterfeit and counterfeit goods. The new book has not dealt with counterfeit money. In front of the book, there are several pages of color pictures that show the ancient Central Plains coins (Fang Kongyuan) unearthed in Xinjiang. They include
