2017 1/10 oz South Korea Gold Chiwoo Cheonwang Medal BU (In Black Assay)

This beautiful 2017 1/10 oz South Korea Gold Chiwoo Cheonwang Medal is a new issue from the South Korean Mint (KOMSCO) featuring the well-known legend - the warrior Chiwoo Cheonwang. Following the successful release of a silver medal, the collection is growing in 2017 with a gold version.

Chiwoo Cheonwang is a renowned symbol of South Korean culture and lore. He was famous for casting magical spells and controlling the weather during the battles. Numerous victories won him the mythical title of “God of War” in ancient Asian mythology. He wears an intimidating demon-like mask and casts magical spells conveying fear to enemies which seek war against the Korean Nation. His mask also served as the mascot of the Red Devils - the nickname of the passionate supporters’ club of the South Korean soccer team - during the 2002 World Cup.

This time KOMSCO presents the Chiwoo Gold Medallions inside one of four different colors (White, Red, Blue, and Black).

The obverse features the image of Chiwoo shield, which bears a depiction upon its surface of his own imposing mask worn during battle. This side also shows the nation of the issue, KOMSCO mark, and the latent security image with the gold purity within a circle. The reverse depicts the image of the mythical God of War himself, atop his warhorse, with a shield in his left hand and a long spear in his right hand.
