According to China's traditional measurement unit, gold bars take "two" as the basic weight unit. Generally speaking, there are three kinds of gold bars, namely twelve, five and one. Of course, there are other specifications such as half quantity. For ordinary people, one or two gold bars are generally called small yellow croaker, and 10 pairs are naturally large yellow croaker. On the gold bars made by the Central Mint, there will be words such as the Central Mint and the date.
During the Republic of China, most gold bars were produced between 1945 and 1949. After the Kuomintang defeated Taiwan Province Province, it also transported a large number of gold bars stored in the national treasury to Taiwan Province Province, and these huge gold bars became the foundation of Taiwan Province Province's economic take-off.
Value situation:
Before the metric system was used, the old system in China was two ounces per catty 16, so there was a folk saying that it was half a catty. So one or two gold bars at that time were equivalent to about 3 1 gram today. Therefore, small yellow croaker, that is, one or two gold bars, is 3 1g of gold, while large yellow croaker, that is, 10g of gold bars, is naturally 3 10g.
For example, the price of gold has been hovering around 1 g 200-300 yuan. Therefore, according to the gold price, the price of one or two small yellow croaker is around 8370 yuan, while the large yellow croaker is naturally 83700 yuan.
Of course, it is unreasonable to calculate the value of small yellow croaker in this way. As a gold bar cast in the Republic of China, yellow croaker has a certain collection value, so its actual value should be much higher than the gold price accounting.
