36枚高丽铜钱成分检测：铜含量60.95%至92.57%波动、合金配比与宋钱明显不同
《npj 遗产科学》11月13日发表一项研究，用 X 射线荧光光谱法检测了36枚高丽王朝铜钱的金属成分。高丽铜钱是朝鲜半岛最早的本土铸造铜钱，其形制与铭文与同时期中国宋朝铜钱有明显相似之处。
检测结果显示，这批铜钱的铜含量约在60.95%至92.57%之间波动，铅含量在0.11%至24.45%之间，锡含量在1.87%至23.85%之间。研究确认样本为以铜、铅、锡为主的青铜铸币，但各枚之间的合金比例差异很大、并不一致。
研究把结果与宋朝铜钱的合金配方对比后发现，样本成分与宋钱配方有明显偏离。作者据此认为，高丽铜钱有其独特的配金做法，代表一条独立的铸币传统，而非简单照搬宋钱配方。
论文作者为中山大学历史学系（珠海）的李廷清与北京化工大学材料科学与工程学院的何海平。研究样本出土于朝鲜民主主义人民共和国境内，由古钱币收藏者曲明提供，每枚样本均经中国朝鲜古代钱币研究会与钱博鉴定出具鉴定证书，实验环节得到北京化工大学陈嘉琪协助。
这项研究由中国国家社会科学基金项目「东亚视域下的朝鲜半岛古代货币制度研究（918至1392年）」资助，项目编号24BSS038，实验费用亦由该项目承担。

Tests on 36 Koryŏ Copper Coins: Copper Content Ranged From 60.95% to 92.57%, Alloy Mix Diverged From Song Dynasty Recipes
A study published in npj Heritage Science on November 13 used X-ray fluorescence spectrometry to characterize the metal composition of 36 Koryŏ Dynasty copper coins. The earliest native copper coins of the Korean Peninsula were first minted in the Koryŏ Dynasty, and morphologically and epigraphically they share notable similarities with contemporary Chinese Song Dynasty copper coins.
The results show that copper content fluctuates approximately from 60.95 wt.% to 92.57 wt.%, lead content from 0.11 wt.% to 24.45 wt.%, and tin content from 1.87 wt.% to 23.85 wt.%. The coins are bronze specimens consisting primarily of copper, lead and tin, yet their alloy ratios are highly variable and inconsistent from coin to coin.
When compared with Song Dynasty coin alloy recipes, the analyzed samples exhibit marked compositional divergence. The authors conclude that the pattern indicates distinctive alloying practices and an independent minting tradition for Koryŏ copper coinage, rather than a simple copy of Song recipes.
The paper is by Tingqing Li of the Department of History (Zhuhai) at Sun Yat-sen University and Haiping He of the College of Materials Science and Engineering at Beijing University of Chemical Technology. The coin samples were unearthed within the territory of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and provided by collector Qu Ming; each specimen was authenticated by numismatic experts, and Dr. Chen Jiaqi assisted with the experiments.
The work was supported by the National Social Science Fund of China (grant No. 24BSS038) for a project on the ancient currency system of the Korean Peninsula from an East Asian perspective (918–1392), which also covered the experimental expenses.
The article was received on June 6, 2026, accepted on October 13, 2026, and published on November 13, 2026, with the digital object identifier 10.1038/s40494-026-03092-4. It is being shared early as a citable version that will be replaced by the final version of record.
