The inscription reads: ‘di shi yin he du, nian nian yuan que qiao, jun ping ceng zhi zai, ci heng ke xing gao’.

Zhang Qian was an imperial envoy in the Han dynasty best known for his reports on Central Asia which led to the development of westward international trade routes. In literature, the inscription on the reverse of this plaque refers to a Yuan dynasty poem which describes Zhang’s quest on a log raft to find the source of the Yellow River, and eventually finds himself floating on the Milky Way.
