| Additional information |
Issued under the China Gold Coin Corporation's cultural heritage series, this 2021 piece belongs to a program that began commemorating Chinese calligraphy as an intangible cultural heritage following UNESCO's inscription of the art form in 2009. The 150-gram format places it in a tier China has increasingly favored for high-denomination silver culturals, where the additional metal weight justifies the face value premium over bullion while keeping mintages tightly controlled for the collector market.
