My First Korean Silver

Welcome all you precious metals family members!! This is D Wings World where information and adventure await!! Today I am showing off my first medal from the mint of South Korea! This medal is from the Zi:Sin series that is a different take on the zodiac theme that we see in so many rounds and coins. According to Apmex the Zi: Sin are the Twelve Guardians assigned to protect twelve directions. They serve protection to the world against evil forces from twelve directions at all times. This issue features Canis, the loyal and reliable guide and was a gift that I received for my Birthday. This is the second issue of KOMSCO's new ZI:SIN (Twelve Guardians) series and has a limited mintage of 40,000. Now onto the 1 troy ounce .999 fine silver medal itself!

Apmex give a pretty good description of the meaning of this series and what Canis' role is. It states that whenever god is on duty for wiping out the demons or cleansing the plague, ZI:SIN will be the commanders who would lead god's army, roaming on the battlefield, bringing up and dispersing wind and rain. Their ability of transformation scares off demons entering into our world. Although they are in human forms, each of them wears mythical creature helmets and carries their own weapons on the sacred battlefield.
Canis is a loyal and reliable guider who faithfully protects god and always stays alert despite time, location, or any circumstance. Whenever a demon approaches, it would immediately manage to suppress the foe at once. When god is about to battle the evil forces, Canis would stand in the front line of the 12 troops and lead god's arm as a spearhead.

I actually am very happy with both the design and quality of this medal! I may have to try and catch up with the series as it is not too far in and has had some recent releases that are very cool. The use of frosting and different textures makes this medal stick out. What do you think? Have you gotten any of these or are you a player for the whole series? Let me know. Thanks for all your support and time. Please remember to upvote, resteem, and reply!!
