Chinese name.

[edit]

Hello 👋🏻 @Baomi: ,

Would you by any chance be familiar with the Traditional Chinese characters for "HongPing Taels"? I have been able to find Caoping Taels and Kuping Taels, but from what I could tell the only English-language references and/or websites which even mention HongPjng Taels refer to the banknotes on which they appeared. I'd like to do more research into them but this would require their Chinese name. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 16:14, 21 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"HongPing" should be "行平", "Hang Ping" in Hanyu Pinyin.The standard was called as "行平化宝" (Hong Ping Hua Bau) on the teal banknotes of the Russo-Chinese Bank--Baomi (talk) 07:11, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much, the stupid spelling confused me, though in both English and Russian the letter "O" is sometimes pronounced as the "A" in "Russia" so it makes sense. I've been trying to map most "less common" denominations, but silver taels usually have a million and one standards so I want to add the different ones that appear on banknotes. This standard also appeared on several other banknotes of foreign banks but I can't find anything about the standard itself on either the English or the Mandarin Chinese Wikipedia's. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 14:46, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There were too many standards of the weight and fineness of teals from Qing to ROC, I have tried to sort out the various standards of weight and silver content. Here is the draft: zh:User:Baomi/沙盒/平色. but I need more time to finish it--Baomi (talk) 10:28, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
