On the obverse of all 2016 1 oz South Korean Gold Chiwoo Cheonwang Medals is the image of the shield used by Chiwoo in war. He is known as the God of War in Chinese and Korean cultural lore, and this shield features the ornate design of Do ggae bi. The latter figure is known as a bit of a hobgoblin with the ability to ward off evil spirits.
Today, Chiwoo Cheonwang is known as the official symbol of the Red Devils, the official fan groups of the Republic of Korea’s (South Korea) national men’s soccer team. Historically, he is viewed as one of the three founding fathers of ancient China and is held in high regard among Koreans.
The reverse of 2016 South Korean Gold Chiwoo Cheonwang Medals features the first design of the God of War himself. This image depicts Chiwoo standing on the field of battle ready to rally his troops to hit into the fight. He wields a long spear in one hand and his massive battle shield in the other.
