2021 South Korea 1-oz Silver Chiwoo Cheonwang Medal NGC MS70 w/South Korea Label

South Korea’s Legendary God of War Is Back for a Sixth Year

If you listened only to entertainment news, about the only thing you’d think was coming out of South Korea these days were boy bands and Squid Game. But for the rest of us with a more numismatic bent, 2021 also marked the sixth year in the South Korea’s Chiwoo Cheonwang silver bullion series. First released in 2016, this epic series of silver bullion medals has been met with worldwide acclaim, selling out every year. And now the new medals have arrived — and the new designs are breathtaking!

Cheonwang Beats The Drums Of War

The 2021 release features an all-new, one-year-only design struck in a full ounce of highly pure 99.9% silver. It depicts Chiwoo Cheonwang, South Korea’s legendary God of War madly thumping a traditional battle drum amid a host of soldiers on horseback riding past in the background. Cheonwang’s cape has been caught by the wind and majestically float above him to form a backdrop for the name of the series, “CHIWOO CHEONWANG” to be engraved along the rim of the coin. You’ll also want to look closely at the war drum where you’ll see an image of Dokkaebi, a supernatural goblin. That same design appears on Cheonwang’s left shoulder and is repeated on the medal’s obverse.

Chiwoo Cheonwang upon whose life these designs are based on, is the symbol of victory in Korean history and folklore. In battle, he wore a demonic mask that obscured his face and terrified his enemies. Combined with his ability to cast magic spells and control the weather, Chiwoo Cheonwang fought a series of epic battles against China’s Yellow Emperor more than 4,500 years ago. Today his mask serves as the mascot for South Korea’s national soccer team, the Red Devils.
