Among the vast and extensive collection systems of ancient coins throughout history, the Northern Song Dynasty's Da Guan Tong Bao Zhe Shi (folded ten coin) has always been an irreplaceable benchmark collectible. It is not merely an ordinary circulating copper coin, but a tangible carrier of the triple pinnacle achievements of the Northern Song Emperor Huizong's reign in economics, calligraphy, and casting craftsmanship. It is widely recognized within the ancient coin collecting community as the "King of Song Coins." This particular Da Guan Tong Bao Zhe Shi, graded and encapsulated by Baoli, earning a high grade of 85 in beauty, has completely preserved the coin's original characteristics. The capsule clearly indicates the Song Dynasty period, folded ten type, dimensions and weight, a unique collectible code, and a source-tracing QR code. The authoritative certification eliminates the risk of counterfeit, and long-term encapsulation prevents oxidation and deterioration. Whether for coin topic collectors, calligraphy enthusiasts, or those fond of Song Dynasty literature and history, this collectible embodies multiple core values of appreciation, research, and preservation. This coin was produced during the Da Guan era of the Northern Song Dynasty, with the inscription personally written by Emperor Huizong Zhao Ji. It was meticulously cast at the national-level official mint and circulated in the prosperous markets of Northern Song cities. After nearly a thousand years of sedimentation and history, it is now perfectly preserved in a graded protective case. Viewing it reveals the mottled ancient bronze and the sharpness of slender gold script, allowing one to touch the bustling splendor of Bianjing a thousand years ago and understand the genius calligraphy unique to Emperor Huizong as well as the ultimate aesthetics of the Great Song Dynasty.

“大观” 取自《易经》“大观在上，顺而巽，中正以观天下”，是宋徽宗的年号，寄托帝王俯瞰四海、天下太平的美好期许。徽宗本人是华夏历史上罕见的艺术天子，治国理政虽有缺憾，却在书画、书法、金石、造器领域拥有登峰造极的天赋，自创独步千古的瘦金体书法，风骨凌厉、飘逸清劲，一扫前代钱币文字圆润敦厚的风格，将皇家书法直接镌刻于钱币之上，这是历代铸币前所未有的创举。

“Daguan” is derived from the Book of Changes (I Ching): “A grand view from above, following and yielding, observing the world with balance and righteousness.” It was the era name of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, embodying the emperor’s noble wish to oversee the realm and ensure peace throughout the land. Emperor Huizong himself was a rare artistic monarch in Chinese history. Although his governance had its shortcomings, he possessed unparalleled talent in painting, calligraphy, epigraphy, and craftsmanship. He invented the unique Slender Gold style of calligraphy, which is vigorous, elegant, and refined, sweeping away the rounded and solid styles of inscriptions on previous coins. By engraving imperial calligraphy directly onto coins, he introduced an unprecedented innovation in the history of coinage.

大观通宝折十作为大额制式大钱，器型尺寸、重量、铜料配比全部遵循北宋中央官铸严苛规范，本枚评级币实测直径 41.8 毫米，厚度 2.4 毫米，净重 21.8 克，尺寸厚重压手，上手便能感受到北宋官钱扎实的用料标准，与轻薄私铸小钱有着天壤之别。钱币遵循传统天圆地方古泉形制，外圆轮廓规整宽阔，内外廓凸起分明，方穿方正利落，边缘打磨平滑，无毛刺飞边，充分体现宋代成熟翻砂铸钱工艺。

宋代铸钱技术经过数百年迭代，在徽宗时期达到顶峰，整套工序分为铜料冶炼、母钱雕刻、砂型翻铸、打磨修边四大流程，每一步都有专人分工把控。冶炼环节选用高纯度青铜，铜锡配比均衡，铸出钱币质地紧实，不易脆裂锈蚀；核心工序为母钱雕刻，宫廷顶级雕工复刻徽宗瘦金书文字，保证每一枚流通钱币文字轮廓、深浅高度统一；铸造成型后，匠人逐枚打磨外沿与方穿，保障流通顺滑不伤手，整套标准化生产体系，在古代手工业中堪称奇迹。

本枚钱币正反面底板平整紧实，无明显坑洼漏铜，外廓完整无缺，无磕碰、无裂补、无翘边，历经近千年流通埋藏，依旧保持官铸大钱原生器型，这也是宝利评级给出美 85 高分的核心依据。折十作为大观系列最大面值，铸造总量远少于小平、折二、折五等小额钱币，当初铸造便是为大额交易使用，民间留存数量本就稀少，完整高分评级品更是万里挑一，收藏稀缺度远高于普通小观通宝。

The Daguan Tongbao Zhe Shi, as a large-denomination official coin, strictly follows the Northern Song dynasty's stringent central minting standards in terms of shape, size, weight, and copper alloy composition. This graded coin has been measured with a diameter of 41.8 mm, a thickness of 2.4 mm, and a net weight of 21.8 grams. Its substantial size and weight are immediately noticeable, reflecting the solid material standards of Northern Song official coins, which are vastly different from the thin, privately cast small coins. The coin adheres to the traditional ancient coin design of a round heaven and square earth, featuring a well-proportioned and broad outer contour, clearly raised inner and outer rims, a square and neatly cut central hole, and smooth, burr-free edges. This fully demonstrates the mature sand casting coin craftsmanship of the Song dynasty.

The coin casting technology of the Song dynasty underwent several centuries of iteration, reaching its peak during Emperor Huizong's reign. The entire process was divided into four major steps: copper alloy smelting, mother coin engraving, sand mold casting, and edge polishing, with each step carefully supervised by specialized personnel. During smelting, high-purity bronze was selected, with a balanced copper-to-tin ratio, resulting in coins that are dense and resistant to brittleness and corrosion. The core process was the engraving of the mother coin, where court master engravers meticulously reproduced Huizong's slender-style calligraphy, ensuring uniformity in the contours, and depth of the characters on each coin. After casting, artisans individually polished the edges and the central hole, ensuring smooth circulation without harming the hands. This highly standardized production system was nothing short of a marvel in ancient handicraft.

The obverse and reverse surfaces of this coin are flat and solid, with no evident pits or incomplete casting. The outer rim is intact, with no dents, cracks, repairs, or warping. Despite nearly a thousand years of circulation and burial, it maintains the original shape of an official large-denomination coin, which is the main reason Bao Li Grading awarded it a high grade of MS 85. As the largest denomination of the Daguan series, the Zhe Shi was produced in significantly fewer quantities than small coins like the Xiao Ping, Zhe Er, or Zhe Wu. It was originally minted for high-value transactions, so survival in private hands was always rare, and a complete, high-graded specimen is extraordinarily scarce, far more valuable to collectors than ordinary Xiao Guan Tongbao coins.
