浅谈山西开国纪念铜币张培林民国伊始，各省又纷纷铸币，孙中山先生深感铸币事关重大，遂于民国元年３月９日“临时大总统令”中指出，“查币制改良，新民耳目，自属要图……其余通用新币中间应绘五谷模型，取丰岁足民之义，垂劝农务本之规。”所以民国初期，各省所铸开国纪念铜币，其基本图案多为嘉禾图和双族图，最初的“双旗”，为“十八星军旗”和五色国旗，其后改为国民党党旗和国民党政府旗。据史科记载，民初铸造开国纪念铜币的省份主要有：湖北（武昌造币厂）、江苏（南京造币厂）、安徽（安庆造币厂）、湖南（长沙造币厂）、河南（开封造币厂）及山西（太原造币厂）等①。但何为山西所铸开国纪念铜币，却不大清楚。笔者在铜元收集中，偶遇一品（图１），面值为“壹枚”，直径２．７８厘米、厚０．１５厘米、重６．５克，铜质略黄。虽品相不精，但图文均能清晰，正面中央铸竖读“壹枚”二字，左右嘉禾环绕；背面中央为双旗图，分别为十八星军旗和五色国旗，上缘铸“中华民国”，下缘铸“开国纪念币”，左右两侧为“卷草花”。笔者认为，此币应为山西所铸之开国纪念铜币，是山西机铸铜币的初铸品，铸造时间应在民国七年（１９１８）以后。理由有三：民初各地所铸开国纪念铜币，目前仅面额十文者 Talking about the founding of Shanxi Province commemorative coins Zhang Peilin At the beginning of the Republic of China, the provinces have another coin, Mr. Sun Yat-sen profound coinage is of major importance, then the Republic of China March 9 “Provisional Grand Presidential Decree” pointed out that “check the currency system, Own to the map ...... The rest of the common currency should be painted between the middle of the grain model, take the meaning of the foot-rich footsteps of people, to persuade the farmers of the regulations. ”Therefore, the early Republic of China, the founding members of the provinces to commemorate the copper coins, the basic patterns are mostly Golden Harvest Figure and dual-family map, the original “double flag” for the “18 Star flag” and colored national flag, then changed to the KMT party flag and the KMT government flag.
