宋代是白银货币化的第一个重要时期，总体上来说，相对于唐代的船形与板条状银锭来说，宋代银锭的形态有所收敛，几何形状更加简洁、对称而不乏曲线美，与铸造工艺密切相关的因素——底部蜂窝孔洞和锭面丝纹显现，这些现象都与以往大为不同，与宋代白银货币化进程有着紧密关系。白银用作贵金属货币，在质量和形态方面都要趋向于一定的标准，不仅要给人以贵金属质(纯度)的特色和厚重感，而且在外观上应具有一定的形式和美感。因此，白银货币的铸造发行，讲究金属质地的展现、对称、具备一定的主流形制，是很自然的趋势。
Song Dynasty was the first important period of silver monetization. Generally speaking, compared with the boat-shaped and strip-shaped silver ingots in Tang Dynasty, the shape of silver ingots in Song Dynasty was somewhat convergent. The geometric shape was more concise, symmetrical, and there was no lack of curve beauty. The factors closely related to the casting process - honeycomb holes at the bottom and silk lines on the ingot surface - appeared. These phenomena were quite different from the past and had a close relationship with the silver monetization process in Song Dynasty. Silver, as a precious metal currency, should tend to a certain standard in terms of quality and form. It should not only give people the characteristics and heavy feeling of precious metal quality ( purity ), but also have a certain form and aesthetic feeling in appearance. Therefore, it is a natural trend for silver currency to be cast and issued with emphasis on the display of metal texture, symmetry and certain mainstream shapes.
宋银铤从重量来分一般分为三等：五十两大铤，二十五两中铤，十二两半及以下者小铤。存世极少，要价极昂。
Song silver collars are generally divided into three grades by weight: fifty-two big collars, twenty-five middle collars, and twelve small collars in half and below. It is very rare in the world and very expensive.
此件藏品为，重量466g可称为小铤，品相美观，厚薄相间，铤身侧面、底部蜂窝孔大小错落有致，丝纹外观特征明显，两端多呈弧状，束腰形，上錾文字，历史痕迹清晰可见，佳品珍藏，实属不可多得之宝，值得入手！
