Antique Copper Medals: Ngā Toa Tāone o te Toi Numismatic me te Kohikohinga

Kei te tuku ngā whakakaha pounamu tawhito i ngā painga maha ka nui ai te hiahia ki a kaitirotiro me ngā kaiwhakapāpaku o te hītori. Tuatahi, ko te uara hītori ake o ngā mea nei ka hono atu ki ngā kaupapa nui o te wā o mua, ka tū ai hei rauemi whai hua mo te whai mōhio. Ko te pounamu anō ka tōa rawa, he whakakaha ki te whakapai ake i te wā, e whanake ana i te āhua rerekētia e hāngai ai ki te āhua ā-whakaahua. Ko ngā whakakaha nei ka nui ake te uara i te wā, nō reira he mea pai hei inihua mō ngā kaitirotiro. Ko te whārite o ngā whakakaha ka tuku i ngā tāone rerekētia mō te whakakī, mai i ngā kaitaka ritenga ki ngā whakapapa ki te tuanui, e āwhina ai i te whakakī whakahirahira ki ngā whare, ngā tari rānei. Ko te mahi toa hirahira kei ia wāhanga ka whakaatu i ngā tikanga o mua, ka tuku i ngā māramatanga ki ngā āhua toa me ngā tikanga hanga i te wā i reka ai. Ko ngā whakakaha pounamu he utu āwhai ake i ngā tikanga o ngā rākau taonga, nō reira he wātea ki ngā kaitirotiro hōu, ki ngā kaikei hoki. Ko te rahi me te taumaha o ngā mea nei ka tōtika ai te whakamahi, te tirotiro hoki, ā he nui tonu te rahi kia tū ai hei mea nui. Ko ngā ahuatanga whakangaro mōrearea ake o te pounamu ka whakapau mōrearea ai i ēnei taonga. Anō hoki, kei te tū ake ngā whakakaha nei ki te tāpiripiri i ngā tuhinga e whakamārama ana i te takotoranga, ka tā mai ai i te uara hītori me te uara kaitirotiro. Ko te nuinga o te hiahia ki ēnei whakakaha ka rereke i ngā tikanga ahurea, i ngā reo hoki, nō reira he mea tārore ai i te ao.
