Description

窖藏,1985年3月20日青阳镇巨声村一农民挖沟时于距地表约1米深处发现一件绳纹灰陶罐(高14.1、腹径18.9厘米),罐内贮藏蚁鼻钱,出土时陶罐被砸碎,蚁鼻钱近500枚流散于群众中,收藏于泗洪县图书馆的约7公斤,总计2759枚;出土于一处战国至西汉早期遗址的高阜菜园地;I型(面凸背平,厚实饱满)1725枚,II型(面背皆扁平单薄)1034枚;重量最重5克、最轻0.3克,相差16倍;原文献记面文四种写法,依上下文对应通行写法统一记为"巽";据朱活考订,以"巽"字贝为主的铸币下限不晚于战国末年;此为江苏正式记录中出土蚁鼻钱最多的一次。中国文物地图集江苏分册"胥阳钱币窖藏"条(102-G3)确认此事件:泗洪县青阳镇巨声村,1985年3月20日发现地表下1米处有一只绳纹灰陶罐(高14.1厘米、腹径18.9厘米),内藏一批战国时期楚国蚁鼻钱约7公斤,计2759枚,青铜铸造,仅5%是铅质的,现藏县图书馆(《东南文化》1987年第3期)——与本条数据完全吻合,图集正式定名为"胥阳钱币窖藏"。

Hoard. On March 20, 1985, a farmer digging a ditch at Jushengcun, Qingyang Town, found a cord-marked gray pottery jar (14.1 cm tall, 18.9 cm belly diameter) about 1 m below the surface, containing ant-nose coins. The jar was smashed during recovery and nearly 500 coins were dispersed among local people; about 7 kg, totaling 2,759 pieces, were collected by the Sihong County Library. Found on high ground used as a vegetable garden at a Warring-States-to-early-Western-Han site. Type I (convex face, flat reverse, thick and full) numbered 1,725 pieces; Type II (both face and reverse thin and flat) numbered 1,034 pieces; weights ranged from a maximum of 5 g to a minimum of 0.3 g, a 16-fold difference. The original source records four variant forms of the face inscription; following context, these are uniformly recorded here using the standard form "Xun." Per Zhu Huo's research, casting of the "Xun"-inscribed cowrie coins did not continue later than the end of the Warring States period. This is the largest single recorded find of ant-nose coins in Jiangsu's formal records. The "Xuyang Coin Hoard" entry (102-G3) in the Atlas of Chinese Cultural Relics, Jiangsu Volume, confirms this event: Jushengcun, Qingyang Town, Sihong County; found March 20, 1985, a cord-marked gray pottery jar (14.1 cm tall, 18.9 cm belly diameter) 1 m below the surface, containing a hoard of Warring-States Chu ant-nose coins weighing about 7 kg, numbering 2,759 pieces, cast in bronze with only 5% being lead, now held by the county library (Southeast Culture, 1987 no. 3) -- fully consistent with this entry's data; the Atlas formally names it the "Xuyang Coin Hoard."
