Struck from 5oz of 99.9% pure silver, this official legal tender coin honours the Chinese mythological creatures known as the Four Auspicious Beasts – also known as the Four Symbols, the Four Guardians and the Four Gods. Key figures in Chinese Astrology, as custodians of the Four Cardinal Directions (the main points on the compass), the Four Auspicious Beasts include the Azure Dragon of the East, the Vermilion Bird of the South, the White Tiger of the West and the Black Tortoise of the North. United in one stunning piece of numismatic artistry, the glorious full-colour portrayal of the Four Auspicious Beasts dominates the massive 65mm diameter flan of this enormous 5oz Silver Proof.

With the Four Auspicious Beasts of enormous cultural significance across Asia and beyond, there is no doubt that this collectable colossus will spark great interest worldwide. And with the mintage restricted to a surprisingly low 388 coins – each superbly presented withing a lavish timber case with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity
