The phoenix-like bird in the Four Guardians is often known as the Vermillion Bird and is associated with summer and the fire element. This magnificent phoenix-like creature represents transformation, resilience, and the vital force of yang energy. Unlike the Western phoenix, the Vermillion Bird is not associated with resurrection but rather with the perpetual cycle of celestial movement and the sun’s journey across the sky. In classical Chinese literature, the Vermillion Bird is often portrayed as a messenger between the heavenly and earthly realms.

All 2024 1 oz Colorized Australian Silver Chinese Myths and Legends Lan Four Guardian Coins come with a presentation display card. Just 1,000 of these Lan Colorized coins are available with these presentation cards.

The obverse of the 2024 Colorized Australian Silver Chinese Myths and Legends Four Guardians coin features a left-profile bust of King Charles III, marking the first appearance of his portrait on Australian currency. This crownless image was created by Dan Thorne in 2024, capturing a modern look at the new monarch.

On the reverse side of the 2024 1 oz Colorized Silver Myths and Legends Lan Four Guardians Coin, you’ll discover the four powerful protectors from Chinese mythology. The turtle stands prominently at the center, with the tiger to its left, the dragon below, and the phoenix soaring above. A snake is shown beside the turtle. The P125 mint mark signifies the Perth Mint’s 125th anniversary in 2024.
