The Three Kingdoms period of Chinese history dates to the 2nd and 3rd centuries CE and was the source of much myth and legend in Chinese culture since. Among these isThe Romance of the Three Kingdoms,one of the Four Great Classical Chinese novels and one of the fictional accounts of the period that drew most on actual history, albeit romanticizing its most famous figures. One of these was Zhang Fei, a fiery giant of a man among the elite companions of great warlord Liu Bei. He’s commemorated by the 2021 Black Proof Niue Five Tiger Generals Zhang Fei 3 oz Silver Coin.
