150 Yuan Qian Li Jiang Shan Tu

The "Qianli Jiangshan Tu" (A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains) is a Northern Song dynasty handscroll attributed to Wang Ximeng, painted in 1113 when the artist was approximately eighteen years old — one of the few works in Chinese history credibly attributed to a teenager working under imperial patronage. Wang died shortly after completing it, making this scroll essentially his entire surviving output. The painting became the basis for China's 2022 Lunar New Year gala opening sequence, which reignited broad public fascination with the work and almost certainly drove the decision to mint this issue.
