Direct Coins is excited to present the 2022 White Tiger 2oz Silver Antiqued Coloured Coin.
In Eastern mythology, the White Tiger is one of the Four Symbols, legendary creatures that each guard one quarter of the heavens. According to traditional stories, it was destined to appear when the emperor ruled with unquestionable kindness and morality, or whenever there was peace throughout the world.
In the ancient Five Elements theory, wood, fire, earth, metal and water were considered to be basic constituents of everything in the universe. Among other aspects of nature, metal denoted the direction West and was represented by the colour white. Thus, the White Tiger became a mythological guardian of the West.
The coin's reverse features a magnificent white tiger climbing among mountainous peaks. The design includes representations of Asian Maple trees with red coloured leaves, signifying autumn, the season associated with metal. Also incorporated in the design are the Chinese characters for 'white tiger'.
Each coin is housed in a classic display case within an illustrated shipper and accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
