Please introduce some books on learning ancient coins.

The Dictionary of Ancient Money is alive by Zhu, published by Cultural Relics Publishing House, first edition 1995, second edition 1998. Most of the contents of this book have been serialized in cultural relics magazines. The book briefly introduces the characteristics of China in different periods (mainly Kong Fangxiong), which is a masterpiece of introducing the pre-Qin period. The book also introduces some common names of peripheral currencies and ancient coins, and also indicates the approximate range of the weight and size of coins. It is a good reference book with pictures and texts.

Ancient Money was collected by Zhong Sun and published by Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House. It was first published in 1990 and reprinted many times. The biggest feature of this book is that it is divided into topics and easy to understand, covering copper coins, copper coins, paper money, gold and silver coins and so on. Finally, it is quite good as an introductory reading. This book is also one of my introductory guidebooks.

Illustration of Ancient Coins by Sun Zhonghui and Hu Wei was published by Shanghai Bookstore in August, 1989. It has been reprinted many times. This book is divided into two parts. The first part introduces the emergence and evolution of currency in China, the coinage and circulation of coins in different dynasties and the related knowledge about coins. The second part is coin rubbings. Probably because of limited capacity, this book contains few general products, and even some outlines are not included.

It was first published in June, 1985, 1 1, and was reprinted many times. This book focuses on the identification and appraisal of coins, and briefly introduces the method of edition classification. The feature of this book is to introduce the ancient coinage technology and characteristics. This is a very good reference book. You should read this book, which is about the spring river at the beginning of Jian.

Introduction to the Identification of Ancient Chinese Coins, by Zhang Zhizhong, published by Knowledge Publishing House, 1st edition 1993. Although Zhang Zhizhong and I are surnamed Zhang, we should be a family, but I have to say that this book is extremely poor in picture, inaccurate in grading, and has no reference value at all.
