This coin belongs to a PBoC series celebrating the classical script forms of Chinese calligraphy, issued across multiple years with each release dedicated to a distinct script style. The stele-focused installment draws on the tradition of stone-carved inscriptions — many originating in the Han and Tang dynasties — which served as the primary vehicle for preserving canonical texts and official edicts before print. Rubbings taken from these stones became the foundational study material for generations of calligraphers, giving stele inscriptions an outsized influence on written Chinese aesthetics that persists in formal practice today.
