The different styles of calligraphy could be found on the same type of coin, a true marriage of the arts of coin-making and calligraphy. Unfortunately neither original notes nor the original plates have survived. The earliest plates for printing money discovered to date in China is the Jin Dynasty Copper Plate which now appears in the collection of the Jin Quan museum in Xian, China. This fantastic tome has samplings of coins from all of China's major dynasties from over 2,000 years ago to the Republic of China.
