Beyond their celestial significance, the Four Guardians became deeply woven into Chinese traditions, from city planning to military tactics. Ancient Chinese cities were often designed with gates aligned to the four directions, each adorned with its respective guardian to channel protective energy. Imperial tombs frequently featured guardian carvings or sculptures believed to safeguard the spirits of the departed.

The obverse of 2025 Australian Gold Chinese Myths & Legends Four Guardians features a bust of King Charles III. His Majesty is shown here in left-profile belief and is depicted without a crown on his head. This effigy of Charles III was created by Dan Thorne as the first-generation portrait for Australian coins.

On the reverse of 2025 1 oz Gold Chinese Myths & Legends Coins, you’ll find the four animals representing the Four Guardians. The Azure Dragon presides over the East, symbolizing spring, wood, and renewal. The Vermilion Bird, guardian of the South, is linked to summer, fire, and vitality. The White Tiger protects the West, associated with autumn, metal, and strength. The Black Tortoise, sometimes portrayed entwined with a snake, watches over the North, representing winter, water, and wisdom.
