The imperial guardian lion, also known as the "foo dog" or "stone lion," is a legendary Chinese architectural and decorative feature with a rich history dating back thousands of years. These impressive, mythical beast-like statues are deeply rooted in Chinese culture and have long been associated with power, protection, and good fortune. Now, 2024 50 Gram Antique Ghana Silver Imperial Guardian Lions Coins are available online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
In the obverse design of 2024 50 Gram Antique Silver Imperial Guardian Lions Coins, you will find a portrait of King Charles III. The first-generation effigy of His Majesty is a left-profile relief without a crown on his head. This change compared to his predecessor, Elizabeth II, is in keeping with Commonwealth coin traditions. When there is a change in the reigning monarch, coin portraits often change orientation and male monarchs are often shown without crowns.
For the reverse side of 2024 Antique Ghana Silver Imperial Guardian Lion Coins, the designers feature two colorized images of Guardian Lions. In this design, the lions are shown facing opposite directions with their heads turned inward toward each other. The lion in the foreground has tones of blue and purple, while the lion in the background features hues of red and orange.
The origins of the imperial guardian lion can be traced back to ancient Buddhist art, where stylized lion statues were used to guard the entrance of temples and other sacred spaces. Over time, the concept evolved and was adopted by imperial rulers as a symbol of their authority and as guardians of their palaces, tombs, and other important structures.
These 2024 50 Gram Antique Ghana Silver Imperial Guardian Lions Coins are available with presentation display boxes that include a viewing window. The case ships within a themed outer box and there is a Certificate of Authenticity included.
