What is the difference between a pattern coin and a regular circulating coin?

Pattern coins are very different from ordinary circulation coins, and there are essential differences in terms of circulation and use functionality, and their differences are:

1. The tradable nature is different. Patterns are not allowed to circulate and can only be used for sample display, not for consumption, while ordinary currency can be circulated and can be used for consumption.

2. Formulate differently. Pattern currency is a standard sample to test the quality of the RMB printing and identify the authenticity of the RMB, while the circulating RMB is only used after it is printed.

3. The face of the ticket is different. The words "Pattern" are printed on the pattern, and the serial number and the words "Prohibited from Circulation" are printed on the banknote pattern, while ordinary currency does not have these words.

Patterns Patterns (PN: Essais, E) Coins that were proposed for design but were not officially issued, similar to unused drafts in stamps. This is the case with a set of coins issued by Iran in 1281 A.H. (1864 A.D.).

Some patterns are marked with the word "Provas" (PR), such as the 1900 Denmark aluminium bronze coin, which has the word "prove" on the surface. Circulating Coin This is a coin in the original sense of the word, and the purpose of issuance is to "circulate". Sovereign issuers are placed on the market at par value, and circulated at par value in exchange.

Circulating coins are made of common metal or ***; The issuance is not limited, and it is generally larger; The age of issuance can be intermittent or continuous; Coins of the same denomination and designation are issued in different years. According to its actual use, it can be divided into two kinds of circulating coins: "withdrawn from circulation" and "in circulation". Circulating coins are meant to be "circulating" rather than "collecting".

However, circulating coins can be collected, and at present, for coin collectors who are new to coin collection, circulating coin collection is still the main body. Of course, the "collection" of circulating coins is usually higher than or even much higher than their "circulation", so the best way to collect this type of coin is to "collect" it in "circulation", that is, to make it look beautiful in daily circulation. Smaller coins are "saved".

That is, "circulation" ** replaces "collection"**. However, this method is limited by country, face value, and era, and it is difficult to collect "all".

Patterns are made by hand on a small scale and do not participate in circulation, while ordinary coins are produced by large-scale machines with reference to patterns and can be circulated.

According to the ancient coins, the shape of the pattern coin is thick and heavy, and the font is strong.

It's not numbered, it's not good to circulate, and the material is the same!

Patterns are not circulable, not money.

Silver coins usually refer to silver dollars that are officially issued and circulated; A silver dollar pattern is a small amount of mint, but the sample has not been approved.

Take the three years of Xuantong Qing silver coin one yuan as an example:Curved Whiskered DragonIt is the official Longyang that has passed the review and is approved for issuance.

Long-bearded dragonAlthough the dragon picture is very beautiful, because the text is thicker and the flower branches on both sides are slightly inferior to those of the curved bearded dragon, the presentation is not approved. It can only be saved as a pattern

Patterns (PN: Essais, E).

Refers to coins that were proposed for design but were not officially issued, similar to unused drafts in stamps.

For example, a group of coins issued by Iran in 1281 Hijri (1864 A.D.) belongs to this category of dates.

Some patterns are marked with the word "Provas" (PR), such as the 1900 Denmark aluminium bronze coin, which has the word "prove" on the surface. Circulating coins.
