The 2016 Proof South Korean Chiwoo Cheonwang 1 oz Gold Medal you receive in this product listing comes with a near-perfect certification from the NGC. Medals in PF69 condition exhibit full, original mint luster with a maximum of two minor detracting flaws. Those flaws must be located outside of the primary focal points of the piece and are limited to minuscule contact marks or hairlines only.

Also included with these gold medals is a UCAM designation. This stands for ultra-cameo and refers to the presence of strong, frosted design elements and deeply-mirrored, clear background fields.

Obverse

On the obverse side of 2016 Proof South Korean Chiwoo Cheonwang 1 oz Gold Medals is a depiction of Do ggae bi. This hobgoblin-like figure is said to have the power to ward off evil with its grotesque appearance. The beast is featured on the shield of Chiwoo Cheonwang on this face of the medal along with inscriptions of the weight, metal content, purity, and the latent security mark of KOMSCO.

Reverse

The reverse face of the 2016 Proof South Korean Chiwoo Cheonwang 1 oz Gold Medal offers the first glimpse of the ancient leader in this series. This particular design depicts Chiwoo standing on the field of battle with his full battle regalia on ready to lead his forces to victory.

History

Chiwoos background is based on a real-life man whose stature has become mythical over the course of thousands of years. One of the leaders of the three founding tribes of China, Chiwoo took on mythical status as the God of War for his skill in battle. His armies are said to have not lost a single battle in 10 years of warfare and it is even rumored he could control the elements during a battle to sway proceedings in his favor.
