Highlights:
Each of the coins in this listing are made available by KOMSCO. They are all in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition and ship in protective plastic capsules to prevent damage. This release comes with incredibly low mintage figures of only 300 medals.
Obverse
On the obverse of these coins, you will notice the image of Do ggae bi on the shield of Chiwoo Cheonwang. His monstrous face was used by Chiwoo to scare his enemies in battle. Koreans also used to hang his image from the roofs of their homes to keep away evil.
Reverse
The reverse image on each of these medals shows the guardian Scrofa, also known as Justice Haechi. Her job is to watch over the Salt Lake that was created by the gods of the sun, moon, and stars. The Salt Lake is considered the passage point between the worlds of the mortals and immortals.
Scrofas powers include the ability to duplicate her likeness. On this coin, you will see Scrofa with her ghost image that she uses to confuse enemies in battle. The coin shows her in her military regalia with her sword drawn as well as her ghostly image.
History
The Scrofa coins are the third release in the Zi:Sin Series from KOMSCO. This is the first release to have a special alternative design with low mintage numbers. Both the silver and gold medals have both the original Scrofa and Scrofa Ghost designs. The original Scrofa medals have a mintage of 1,300, while these have only 300.
