Coins are mainly made of gold, silver, copper, iron and lead, which can be described as all hardware. Coins are "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" on the one hand, and "Shengbao" on the other. Because Hong Xiuquan claimed to be the king of heaven and praised Jesus as a religious program to save the world, he was added with the word "saint" in almost every aspect. Most of the characters are orthorhombic, which is a major feature of coins in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. In addition, the word "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" is both a country name and a year number.

1853, 19 In March, after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom made Tianjing its capital, there was no house number at first. In July this year, "it is said that some officers and men have infiltrated Jiangning City, and the whole country is crazy about it". At that time, Wei Changhui, the garrison commander of Tianjing City, "proposed to set up house numbers and compile them one by one", so there was a house number system. At first, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom set up doorplates as a military measure. Later, with the increasing expansion of the territory, every time a piece of land was occupied, township officials were set up, household registration was checked, and house numbers were compiled, which gradually evolved into measures to protect the people, with the aim of checking duruan and avoiding nuisance. The existing Ding Daqi doorplate in our library, which was recognized by Xinyi Lushun in the 11th year of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, is the representative of the doorplate in the later period of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
