The exceptional silver collector’s coin “Art of Chinese Calligraphy – Regular Script 2021” represents a unique blend of traditional Chinese art, history, and precision coin craftsmanship.
The coin was issued by the People’s Bank of China in 2021 as part of a prestigious series dedicated to Chinese calligraphy. It is made of 150 grams of pure silver with a fineness of 999/1000 and is particularly striking for its unusual rectangular shape, measuring 80 × 50 mm.
The reverse side depicts a portion of the famous calligraphic work *Jiucheng Palace Liquan Inscription* (Inscription on the Sweet Spring at Jiucheng Palace), authored by Ouyang Xun, a prominent calligrapher of the Tang Dynasty. The composition is complemented by four distinctive Chinese characters “潤生萬物,” traditional seals, and the face value of 50 yuan.
The obverse features stylized historical Chinese characters representing China, complemented by decorative motifs inspired by ancient bronze artifacts, the name of the issuing country, and the year of issue, 2021.
The coin is struck in top-quality Proof finish, which highlights the fine details of the calligraphic characters and the intricate relief.
A limited mintage of just 5,000 pieces worldwide makes this issue an attractive collector’s item for enthusiasts of numismatics, Asian art, and rare silver coins.
