Each 2019 1 oz South Korean Zi:Sin Scrofa Ghost Gold Medal available from KOMSCO comes to you housed inside of its own protective plastic capsule. The medals in this release are in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and come with an extremely low mintage figure.
KOMSCO’s third release in the Zi:Sin Series is that of Scrofa, one of the 12 Guardians leading God’s armies and the first issue in the series to have a special alternative design released on a low-mintage medal. Both the silver and gold medals in the Scrofa issue have a primary design element on one medal and a secondary design available on a second medal. For example, the 2019 Scrofa Gold Medal has a mintage of 1,300 coins, while these 2019 1 oz South Korean Zi:Sin Scrofa Ghost Gold Medals have just 300 in total.
On the reverse side of the 2019 1 oz South Korean Zi:Sin Scrofa Ghost Gold Medal is the image of the guardian known as Scrofa, or Justice Haechi. She is responsible for watching over the Salt Lake that was created by the gods of the sun, moon, and stars. This location is the passage point between the world of the mortals and immortals.
Among the powers that Scrofa possess is the ability to duplicate her figure. She deploys this “ghost” image of herself to confuse her enemies in battle, and as you’ll see in this reverse design she is depicted in her military regalia with sword drawn. Behind her, you’ll notice a second ghostly figure of Scrofa as well.
The obverse of all 2019 South Korean Zi:Sin Scrofa Ghost Gold Medals includes the image of do ggae bi from the shield of Chiwoo Cheonwang. The grotesque face was used by Chiwoo as a scare tactic in battle, and Koreans used to hang his effigy from the roofs of their homes to ward off evil.
