摘　　要：汉代“白金三品”在《史记》和《汉书》中均有明确记载,为西汉武帝时铸造的一组系列货币,其形状分别是圆形、方形、椭圆形,其纹饰分别为龙、马、龟,其材质应为银锡类白金。但是,由于该组货币铸造使用时间较短,历经两千多年的漫长岁月,世人对“白金三品”的实物形态已了解甚少。清代阎若壉在《古泉汇考》中甚至认为史书所载的“白金三品”实际上并没有铸造。According to textual records,the Baijin Sanpin was a set of coins issued by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.Through a comprehensive study of related archaeological data in terms of shape,ornamentation,inscriptions,stamped marks,weight,and size,a group of recently-discovered rare Han coins can be identifi ed as the Baijin Sanpin.These coins include three different kind of shapes—circle,square,and oval,which are decorated with dragon,horse,and tortoise designs,respectively.They are made of a whitish alloy of lead,tin,and silver,in addition to copper counterfeits.The minting and use of Baijin Sanpin were short-lived,but as they embody many Chinese traditional cultural attributes,they are of great historical value.
