Obverse
The obverse of the 2025 Australian Gold Chinese Myths & Legends Four Guardians Coin showcases a left-profile portrait of King Charles III. This design, created by Dan Thorne, is the first official effigy of Charles III to appear on Australian coinage and depicts him without a crown.
Reverse
On the reverse, the Four Guardians are displayed in stunning detail. The Azure Dragon rules over the East, symbolizing spring, wood, and renewal. The Vermilion Bird guards the South, representing summer, fire, and energy. The White Tiger watches over the West, linked to autumn, metal, and strength. The Black Tortoise, often depicted intertwined with a snake, protects the North, symbolizing winter, water, and wisdom.
History
These celestial beings have played a significant role in Chinese culture beyond their mythological origins. Ancient Chinese cities were often designed with gates facing the four cardinal directions, each adorned with its respective guardian to bring protection and harmony. Similarly, guardian symbols were frequently included in imperial tombs, where they were believed to safeguard the spirits of the deceased.
