KOMSCO uses special assay card packaging for its 1/10 oz Gold Chiwoos, the longest-running fractional medallion in the collection.

The black labels represent a roughly equal one-quarter of the overall mintage.
The obverse of 2018 Gold Chiwoo Cheonwang Medallions features the image of Do ggae bi. Visions and depictions of this creature date back to the Silla Dynasty, with many believing that his grotesque face had the ability to ward off evil spirits. Many would hang his effigy from the roofing tiles on the end of their homes to protect against evil. Chiwoo used his face on his battle shield to terrify his enemies in battle.
On the reverse of 2018 1/10 oz South Korean Gold Chiwoo Cheonwang Medallions, you’ll find the latest effigy of the God of War. Chiwoo’s exploits on the battlefield were legendary, and this third design captures the last visual many of his victims would see before being cut down by his sword in battle.
