Comment
During this era, the inscriptions were written by Emperor Taizong himself, who was a noted scholar and calligrapher.Interesting fact
The Zhidao Yuanbao coin was used during the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127 AD) and was one of the first coins to feature a round shape with a square hole in the center, which became a standard design for Chinese coins for centuries to come.
