试论元代云南金银货币与实物货币的流通

On the Circulation of the Gold and Silver Currency and the Commodity Money in Yunnan in the Yuan Dynasty

元代全国实施的是统一的钞锭政策，而惟独云南例外。云南行省的货币流通状况与其他行省相比较呈现了多元化的特征，不但以贝币为主要通货，而且也有金银货币和盐币、缯帛等其他实物货币。云南行省多种货币流通格局的出现，从表面看是元朝给了云南特殊的货币政策，但从根本上讲与云南商品经济发展的总体落后、省内各地区间发展的不平衡、云南历史发展的特殊性以及历史上形成的独特货币体系不无关系。

In the Yuan Dynasty,the currency policy was special in Yunnan. Not only the cowry shell currency,but the commodity,such as gold,silver,salt and silk,circulated as the currency. The main reason of the formation of the special currency system was the economy level of Yunnan.
