Four guardians….

Afternoon everyone…..

The heatwave has subsided today. Supposedly we have a few normal days ahead of us, with a few showers they claim.

Enjoy this beauty…

This is the 2024 Perth Mint Chinese Myths and Legends Four Guardian Coin. I love how they tied all four mythical and legendary figures on one coin without making it overly congested.

Here is a blurb on the coin from Bullionstar….
In ancient China, the Four Guardians were seen as powerful symbols of protection. These mythical creatures were often featured in palace architecture and important ceremonial items, as emperors believed their presence would help protect the nation and ensure peace. Each guardian was tied to specific elements and seasons, with rituals held in their honor. Now, the 2024 1 oz Australian Silver Chinese Myths and Legends Four Guardian Coin.

One of the Four Guardians is the Azure Dragon, also called Qinglong. The Azure Dragon is associated with the spring season and the wood element, symbolizing strength, wealth, and good fortune. In ancient China, it was linked to specific star constellations, and its influence was considered most powerful during the spring equinox, making it the most celebrated of the Four Guardians.

Now for the coin….
