Chiwoo Cheonwang is the first-ever silver bullion series from KOMSCO and the Republic of Korea, better known as South Korea. The collection was so popular that the mint introduced a new coin collection in 2017 known as the Zi:Sin Series.

The Chiwoo Cheonwang collection from KOMSCO features new designs on the reverse side of the coins with each new release. The changing designs are meant to follow Chiwoo in his preparation to ride into battle with his armies. A revered military leader who earned status as the God of War in Korean cultural lore, Chiwoo is said to have won every battle he took his troops into for a decade.
Zi:Sin Series coins depict the image of the 12 Guardians from Korean cultural lore. Like the 12 animals of the Zodiac, each of the guardians shares symbolism with particular animals and features unique powers that can be used when the guardians lead the armies of god into battle against evil.
On the reverse of the 2018 1 oz South Korean Silver Chiwoo Cheonwang Canis Medal is the design of Chiwoo Cheonwang. For this year’s design, Chiwoo is depicted riding on his horse into battle as he lowers his sword to cut down an enemy. This is undoubtedly the last view of Chiwoo Cheonwang that many of his enemies saw on the field of battle before death.
Included on this side of the medal is a small privy mark representing Canis. The Canis release of the Zi:Sin Series is meant to coincide with the Year of the Dog from the Chinese Zodiac and, in fact, Canis shares many characteristics of a dog as a loyal and reliable warrior for god.
