2021 Eight Protectors - Manjusri 5oz Silver Copper Coin

The design highlights Manjusri with his flaming sword in hand, which he uses to cut and dispel the darkness of ignorance and false perceptions. He rides a lion atop a lotus leaf, symbolising his fearless nature because of his pure wisdom. The lotus flower blooming in his left hand is chosen to mark how he has attained complete realisation and enlightenment. It also signifies the total removal of all undesirable thoughts and worldly troubles. This image of Manjusri is majestic and powerful, to mirror his stature.

On the obverse, the Taoist symbol of ba gua lies in unison with the zodiac wheel, whereby Manjusri is the guardian of the Rabbit zodiac animal. In the middle lies the yin-yang symbol as a backdrop for the legal tender, the Coat of Arms du Tchad.

The coin comes together with a specially designed certificate of authenticity where its serial number will continue to run from the previous series enclosed in a carefully thought-out thematic packaging box, designed and filled with details.
