Coin gilding referred to the process of plating a layer of gold on the surface of a coin. This process may be based on the following reasons: First, it was to better preserve coins, because copper was easy to be corroded, and gilding could slow down the change in appearance; Second, there were forgers who used gilding to imitate gold coins on copper alloy, but the cost of this kind of forgery was relatively high; Third, for some coins with special meaning such as "spending money"(such as auspicious words or exorcism), gilding could make them look more solemn. The ancients believed that praying for blessings or exorcism would be more effective. In addition, the phenomenon of gilding ancient coins was very common, and it was most popular during the Han and Tang Dynasties. Most of the gilded coins were used by the ancient court to reward or commemorate people with special identities. They were mostly unearthed in tombs to show the identity of the tomb owner. They were exquisitely cast, of high specifications, and had enough gold and water. However, they were rarely circulated. They were currently unpopular in the market, but they had certain economic potential. The novel "Gilded Palm" is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!

Gold gilding and gold plating had their own characteristics and had different practicality in different application scenarios. In terms of process complexity, the gilding process was more complicated and cumbersome, while the gilding process was relatively easier to operate and more versatile. If it was an object with a complex shape and high precision requirements, gilding might be more practical because it could gild a very detailed process, and the gold layer after gilding was relatively thick. In terms of durability, the gold-plated layer had the advantages of anti-corrosion, wear resistance, high temperature resistance, etc., but the gold layer was often thin and easy to fade, while the gold-plated layer adhered firmly to the object and was not easy to fall off. If the durability of the object was high, gilding might be more advantageous. From the perspective of environmental protection and health, the gilding process required mercury to make gold mud. Mercury was a toxic substance, which might affect the health and safety of non-hereditary inheritors during the operation. The addition of cyanidation in gold-plated gold water was also dangerous, but relatively speaking, modern gilding technology might be easier to control under environmental protection and safety management, which would affect its practicality in some scenarios. From the perspective of historical inheritance and artistic value, gilding had a history of more than 2500 years. It was a very ancient metal craft technique in ancient China. Gilding on historical relics and traditional crafts could better reflect its artistic value and cultural heritage. Gilding only had a history of more than 100 years, so it might be more practical in modern industrial production of decorations. In summary, it was impossible to simply determine which was more practical, gilding or gilding. It needed to be considered based on the specific purpose of use, environment, culture, and many other factors. The novel "Gilded Palm" is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
The main differences between modern gilding and ancient gilding were as follows: 1. ** In terms of process principles ** - In ancient times, gold gilding was mainly based on fire plating. It was to synthesize gold and mercury into "gold mercury agent", apply it on the surface of the object, and then heat it to evaporate the mercury. The gold would adhere to the surface of the object and not fall off. For example, to gild bronze, one needed to go through the tedious steps of killing gold, making a gold stick, smearing gold, bolt, opening gold, brushing, polishing, and so on. Moreover, in ancient times, gold was melted in mercury, and then excess mercury was squeezed out by hand to paint patterns on the bronze ware. The mercury was evaporated by warm roasting, and the gold patterns were fixed on the surface of the bronze ware. This method was difficult to operate, and mercury was poisonous, which was a threat to the health of the craftsman. - The modern gilding process was an electro-plating process. It used the principle of photosynthesis to lay a layer of metal on a conductor. It could also be used to attach gold to the surface of metal or other objects to form a thin layer of gold. This method was easier to operate and more versatile. 2. ** Historical heritage and popularity ** - The ancient gilding had a long history. It had been produced since the pre-Qin period and was quite popular after the Eastern Zhou and Han Dynasties. It was one of the most commendable surface decoration techniques of bronze ware at that time. It had a history of more than 2500 years. It was called gilding in the Song Dynasty and was an ancient metal craft technique in ancient China. - The modern gilding process was a product of the development of modern industrial technology. The modern plating process could not only plate gold, but also other precious metals and ordinary metals. The technology was mature and had developed and created on the basis of the ancient gilding process. 3. ** In terms of finished product effects ** - The ancient gilded gold had a thick texture. Through complicated manual operations, the gold was firmly attached to the surface of the object. After many processes, the metal structure was fine and firmly adhered to the surface of the object. - The objects made by modern electro-gilding were relatively thin and light, but modern gilding could make the objects anti-corrosion, anti-wear, anti-high temperature, and so on.
