🐲 Mythology – The Four Celestial Palaces

According to ancient Chinese lore, the universe was divided into four heavenly quadrants, each marking the solstices and equinoxes — winter, summer, spring, and autumn.
Each quadrant was protected by a mythical guardian beast, representing seasonal energies, classical elements, and virtuous qualities:

• Blue Dragon (East) – Wood, Spring, Strength

• White Tiger (West) – Metal, Autumn, Courage

• Red Phoenix (South) – Fire, Summer, Transformation

• Black Tortoise (North) – Water, Winter, Wisdom

Together, they form the legendary Four Celestial Palaces, symbols of power, protection, and cosmic balance.

🎨 Design Description

The reverse showcases the four mythical creatures in brilliant colour, arranged around a luminous yin-yang symbol at the centre.
The inscription “CHINESE ANCIENT MYTHICAL CREATURES” frames the artwork.

Thanks to its high relief strike, every scale, wing, feather, and shell is dramatically elevated, creating a sculptural, dimensional effect further enriched by the coin’s antique finish.

The obverse features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, alongside the coin’s weight, purity, denomination, and 2021 year-date.
