Description
In Korean mythology, Chiwoo Cheonwang is the god of war — a figure of towering ferocity and martial genius, said to command storms and lead armies to victory. It is a subject that demands drama, and KOMSCO, the Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation, has delivered exactly that. The Chiwoo Cheonwang series has earned a devoted global following for its high-relief designs and aggressive, action-driven imagery unlike anything else in modern silver.
Medal Highlights
- Mythological Power: Chiwoo Cheonwang occupies a unique place in East Asian legend — a warrior deity associated with strategy, strength, and the chaos of battle. Few bullion series draw from mythology with this kind of conviction.
- High-Relief Artistry: The Chiwoo series is widely recognized for its exceptional depth of relief and intricate surface detail — a showcase of what modern minting technology can achieve.
- 999 Fine Silver: Struck from one full troy ounce of .999 fine silver.
- Brilliant Uncirculated Condition: Sharp detail and strong surfaces throughout.
- A Standout in Any Collection: For collectors drawn to non-Western themes and bold contemporary design, the Chiwoo series stands apart from the crowd.
Design Details
- Obverse: Chiwoo Cheonwang is depicted in full battle armor, fearsome mask in place, weaponry at the ready — a controlled, dynamic image of martial power rendered in striking relief.
- Reverse: Shield motifs and sophisticated anti-counterfeiting design elements characteristic of KOMSCO's security-focused production.

History & Design
KOMSCO — the Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation — is best known for producing South Korea's currency and official documents, but the Chiwoo Cheonwang series has introduced the mint to an entirely new global audience. Launched as part of a broader push into the collector bullion market, the series quickly developed a reputation for designs that feel genuinely different: rooted in Asian cultural tradition, executed with modern technical ambition.
The 2021 issue continues that trajectory — ancient legend, contemporary precision.
