Auspicious Beasts - 5 Oz - Silver Collector Coin

This official legal tender coin is minted from 99.9% pure silver weighing 5 ounces and pays homage to the Chinese mythological beings known as the Four Sacred Symbols - also known as, the Four Guardians or the Four Gods. The Four Sacred Symbols, key figures in Chinese astrology, are the guardians of the four cardinal directions (the main points on the compass) and include the Azure Dragon from the east, the Vermilion Bird from the south, the White Tiger from the west and the Black Turtle from the north. A magnificent full-color depiction of the Four Sacred Symbols, combined in one stunning numismatic work, dominates the massive 65mm diameter flan of this huge 5-ounce silver coin.

With the Four Sacred Symbols having enormous cultural significance throughout Asia and beyond, there is no doubt that this colossus of collectibles will generate great interest worldwide. And with the mintage limited to a surprisingly low 388 coins - each exquisitely presented in a deluxe wooden case with a numbered certificate of authenticity - a quick sell-out is expected.
