    VERY LIMITED SILVER COINS (ONLY 50,000 MINTED)
    After the success of KOMSCO’s (Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation) 2017 1 ounce silver Chiwoo Cheonwang coin, it may come as a pleasant surprise to many collectors that it was just the first in a series! After an unfortunate production delay, KOMSCO has just announced that this second issue is now released!
    Mintage on the 2017 .999 fine 1 ounce silver Chiwoo Cheonwang is limited to 50,000 KOMSCO has already announced that nearly half of the mintage has been pre-sold! Combined with the fact that the first coin in the series quickly sold out, you may need to act quickly if you want to secure this second release before it sells out.
    Why order this 2017 South Korea Chiwoo Cheonwang 1 ounce silver coin.
    This South Korean 2017 1 ounce Silver Chiwoo Cheonwang coin is a great choice for soccer fans and anyone looking to add some variety to their collection with this new choice. It comes from the second year of issue. The coin was struck at KOMSCO, a South Korean Mint. A latent mark under the shield confirms the authenticity of this piece. It was struck from .999 fine silver and is part of a mintage of 50,000 pieces. Your coin will arrive in Air-Tite GEM brilliant uncirculated condition.
    Stunning Chiwoo Cheonwang design
    Like the first coin in the Chiwoo Cheonwang series, this second release carries a detailed design depicting the fearsome warrior in an epic stance.
    This powerful figure is depicted in stunning detail on the obverse of KOMSCO’s second coin. Like the first release, Chiwoo Cheonwang appears in full-armor with his mask donned, his large shield and spear in either hand. This time around, he is mounted on a fearsome, rearing warhorse, with his cape billowing in the wind. “CHIWOO CHEONWANG” is inscribed on the designs’ wide border.
    The reverse design mirrors that of the first Chiwoo Cheonwang Medal, and besides the year will undoubtedly remain unchanged throughout the course of the series. It is a fantastic, detailed depiction of Cheonwang’s shield, encircled by the inscriptions “2018 FINE SILVER 999,” “REPUBLIC OF KOREA,” "1 CLAY" and at the bottom, the KOMSCO logo. Between the shield and the logo is a special anti-counterfeiting feature – a small lenticular circle with the text “Ag" or "999," depending on the viewing angle.
    Who is Chiwoo Cheonwang?
    Chiwoo Cheonwang is a well-known symbol in South Korea whose mask serves as the mascot of the Red Devils – a club that supports the national South Korean soccer team. Beyond this modern use of his mask, Chiwoo Cheonwang is known throughout Korean lore and legend as a God of War. He wears a demon-like mask, casts magical spells, carries a large shield with his mask engraved on the front and is believed to control the weather!
    What is a Clay?
    KOMSCO instituted the Clay for the very first time on this Chiwoo Cheonwang Medal series. While not a legal tender denomination, the concept measurement is meant to relate to a certain amount of land, or as described by the Mint, "soil, earth, dirt, ground and land." In essence, it relates the value of 1 troy ounce of silver to a certain amount of land -
    1 Clay
