Old Korean Money -첨수도(尖首刀)

Old Korean Money -첨수도(尖首刀)

 

Today I want to tell you about "첨수도(尖首刀)".

 

In "첨수도(尖首刀)",

첨(尖cheom) means it is sharp-pointed,

and 수(首su) means a head ,

and 도(刀do) means Knife-Money.

 

That is, the head of this money is sharp-pointed.

 

Until now

almost all the people know it is chinese money.

 

But chinese conscientious scholars say it isn't theirs.

As you see this letters ,

almost all of them are "Sound -Alphabet".

 

And there are several Korean style-상형문자 pictograph .

 

 

 

In my opinion,

these letters are former letters of "흐"도전(Sun-Money, 明刀錢).

 

These letters have a regular sound-rule.

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can see the nose of people.

I think these letters are "[ㄱ, g] sound + various vowels" or "[ㅂ.b]+ various vowels".

 

 

Do you believe these letters are chinese letters ?

 

They are only Alphabet-Style.

 

 

 

Chinese scholars insist this letter as 勺 in p. 206,

先秦貨幣文字編.

 

 

 

 

 

Here are comparative materials.
