雍正通宝雍正通宝是清代钱币，用黄铜铸造，做工精良，雍正通宝现为五帝钱的一部分，五行属土，有辟邪的功效。始铸于雍正元年（1723年），是继顺治、康熙后的第三代清钱币。

雍正通宝的钱文具有划时代的意义，它奠定了清朝此后一百八十余年的钱文风格。是清代钱币中相对数量最少、版式最简的一种制钱，但是由于其规范、精整，直径较大，做工精美，文字规整统一，故深受收藏者喜爱。

雍正通宝有宝泉、宝源、宝河、宝安、宝昌、宝浙、宝福、宝云、宝苏、宝南、宝广、宝陕、宝桂、宝巩、宝台、宝晋、宝济、宝武、宝川、宝黔等二十局，其中宝台局，宝陕局，宝福局，宝广局和宝桂局尚未发现，故实际只有十五个钱局。在这十五个钱局中，有一部分钱局还一度停铸，造成了各局铸钱数量上的失衡，而严重的比例不协调在当时也许没有什么影响，却对后来的收藏者形成了许多诱惑和乐趣。

由于雍正在位仅仅十三年，不仅比起康熙在位六十一年差得太多，而且比起顺治在位的十八年也不及，故数目在清代钱币中是相对最少的，也是价值最大的。

雍正年间，朝廷对铸钱控制极严，民间私铸极少，在执政初年有民间铸钱，形体较小、铜中夹铅。针对这一弊端，雍正皇帝责令将铸钱者均被处极刑，私铸遂绝 。这也使得我们看到的雍正通宝大多做工精美，整齐划一，而轻小薄劣钱少见的原因。

Yongzheng Tongbao is a coin from the Qing Dynasty, made of brass and finely crafted. It is now part of the Five Emperors' coin and belongs to the earth element, with the function of warding off evil spirits. It was first minted in the first year of Yongzheng (1723) and is the third generation of Qing Dynasty coins after Shunzhi and Kangxi.

The money and stationery of Yongzheng Tongbao have epoch-making significance, as they laid the foundation for the style of money writing in the Qing Dynasty for over 180 years. It is the smallest and simplest type of coin in the Qing Dynasty, but it is highly favored by collectors due to its standardization, precision, large diameter, exquisite workmanship, and neat and uniform writing.

Yongzheng Tongbao had 20 bureaus, including Baoquan, Baoyuan, Baohe, Bao'an, Baochang, Baozhe, Baofu, Baoyun, Baosu, Baonan, Baoguang, Baoshan, Baogui, Baogong, Baotai, Baojin, Baoji, Baowu, Baochuan, and Baoqian. Among them, Baotai Bureau, Baoshan Bureau, Baofu Bureau, Baoguang Bureau, and Baogui Bureau have not been discovered yet, so there are only 15 actual money bureaus. Among these fifteen coins, some of them were temporarily suspended from minting, causing an imbalance in the quantity of coins minted in each round. The serious proportion imbalance may not have had much impact at that time, but it created many temptations and pleasures for later collectors.

Due to Yongzheng's reign of only thirteen years, which was not only much worse than Kangxi's reign of sixty-one years, but also less than Shunzhi's reign of eighteen years, the number of coins in the Qing Dynasty was relatively the smallest, but also the most valuable.

During the reign of Emperor Yongzheng, the court had extremely strict control over the casting of coins, and there were very few privately minted coins among the people. In the early years of his rule, there were privately minted coins with small shapes and copper mixed with lead. In response to this drawback, Emperor Yongzheng ordered all coin minters to be sentenced to death, and private minting was subsequently banned. This also makes the Yongzheng Tongbao that we see mostly exquisitely crafted, neat and uniform, and the reason why light, small, thin and inferior coins are rare.

雍正通宝面文为铸钱工匠所书，以宋体书写，带有一定的楷书成分，字体虽然规范，但缺乏艺术感，显得很呆滞。面文“雍正通宝”四字端庄规范，其中通大多数为双点通。相比康熙通宝而言，雍正通宝的笔画要细一些。

相比规范有余，缺乏美感的面文而言，背面的满文则不仅规范，而且十分秀丽。雍正皇帝认为，钱币是国家之宝，故雍正通宝仿照顺治通宝第四式，左面为满文“宝”字，右面为满文钱局名称。雍正年间实现了每省一局的规制，由中央统一主导，故钱文比较统一。

雍正通宝铸造时，清王朝正处在康乾盛世的顶峰期，相比之后的乾隆通宝，嘉庆通宝而言，它的质量较大，对通货的控制能力也较强。而相比之前的顺治通宝而言，由于雍正年间处在清朝最鼎盛的时期，社会安定，而顺治年间统一战争还在继续，社会动荡，故顺治通宝钱币多种多样，形成了顺治五式，而作为盛世的产物，雍正通宝的版式则最为简单，自然也省去了如同顺治通宝那样的多重变化。

但雍正通宝真正为钱币爱好者重视，市场价格飞速攀升是在几年以前，那时正是清廷戏热播，商家乘势推出‘清钱币系列’礼品，出版《清十帝钱币》精装册，由于当年发行数量本来就少的雍正通宝最为罕见，商家只能加价狂收，导致雍正钱币价格狂涨。普通藏友当然无力问津价格昂贵的稀见品乃至孤品，而在极少数泉界名宿手里的珍品价格已是天价。

The Yongzheng Tongbao script was written by coin makers in Song script, with a certain amount of regular script elements. Although the font is standardized, it lacks artistic sense and appears dull. The four characters "Yongzheng Tongbao" in the face text are dignified and standardized, with most of them being double dots. Compared to Kangxi Tongbao, Yongzheng Tongbao has thinner strokes.

Compared to the more standardized and less aesthetically pleasing facial script, the Manchu script on the back is not only standardized but also very beautiful. Emperor Yongzheng believed that coins were treasures of the country, so Yongzheng Tongbao imitated the fourth form of Shunzhi Tongbao, with the Manchu character "bao" on the left and the name of the Manchu currency bureau on the right. During the reign of Emperor Yongzheng, regulations were implemented for each province with one bureau, under the unified leadership of the central government, resulting in a relatively unified Qian Wen system.

When Yongzheng Tongbao was minted, the Qing Dynasty was at the peak of the Kangxi and Qianlong reigns. Compared to the later Qianlong Tongbao and Jiaqing Tongbao, it had higher quality and stronger control over currency. Compared to the previous Shunzhi Tongbao, due to the fact that the Yongzheng period was at the peak of the Qing Dynasty with social stability, and the unification war continued during the Shunzhi period with social unrest, there were various types of Shunzhi Tongbao coins, forming the Shunzhi Five Styles. As a product of the prosperous era, the layout of the Yongzheng Tongbao was the simplest, naturally eliminating multiple changes like the Shunzhi Tongbao.

But Yongzheng Tongbao was truly valued by coin enthusiasts, and the market price skyrocketed a few years ago. At that time, it was a popular drama in the Qing court, and merchants took advantage of the situation to launch the 'Qing Coin Series' gifts and publish the hardcover book' Ten Emperors of the Qing Dynasty Coins'. As Yongzheng Tongbao, which was already issued in small quantities at that time, was the rarest, merchants could only charge exorbitant prices, leading to a surge in Yongzheng coin prices. Ordinary Tibetan friends are naturally unable to inquire about expensive rare and even isolated items, while in the hands of a very small number of famous masters in the spring world, the price of precious treasures is already sky high.
