Kiliskiego 2, 35-005 Rzeszów Poland. In 2019 Niue in cooperation with the Mint of Poland has issued this unique 2 oz silver coin, the first issue of Ancient Chinese Warrior series. The coin is dedicated to Zhao Yun, a military general who lived at the turn of the 2. Why this silver coin is so special: – First coin in Ancient Chinese Warrior series; – Struck of 2 oz of pure 999 silver; – Amazing details in ultrahigh relief; – Selectively gilded elements; – Released only for China – extremely rare; – Great cultural and historical value! Design: At the very first sight, this Niue silver coin draws your attention with its stunning design. The reverse of the coin depicts Zhao Yun riding a horse and holding a gilded spear. The ultrahigh relief looks quite impressive on this silver coin, especially with so many details: the warrior’s armor, the spear and the scene in general. We cannot miss the obverse as well, since along with traditional inscriptions and the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II this side is decorated with a wonderful Chinese-style pattern of dragons. About Zhao Yun: The choice to make Zhao Yun the theme for the first release in the series seems quite reasonable as this person takes a significant place in Chinese culture and history. Having become almost legendary, he is famous for taking parts in numerous battles – the Battle of Changban, the Battle of Red Cliffs, Hanzhang Campaign and many others. Luo Guanzhong, the author of 14. Century’s “Romance of the Three Kingdoms”, describes Zhao Yun as the skillful, courageous and charismatic warrior. And despite the fact that this novel gives us only a 1000-word hint of who this warrior really was, Zhao Yun has been a well-known hero of numerous folktales, pieces of literature and art. No surprise that even modern culture appreciates this hero – Zhao Yun has been portrayed in modern film adaptations, video games, card games and manhua. Discounts on new coins for registered users.

This is the first coin of the series called “Ancient Chinese”. The first coin of the series is ZHAO YUN. Which is minted in outstanding high relief. A Chinese warrior of the third century, Zhao Yun is pretty well known in China, but less so elsewhere, although coin collectors are used to learning about some of these ancient gods, myths and historical figures from this hugely impressive numismatic genre. The warrior on horseback isn’t a new idea, but it’s rarely been realised so well as it has here. The spear has lent the artwork a sense of perspective often missing from lesser examples. The obverse carries the obligatory mugshot of QEII, but set against a backdrop of Chinese dragons. Again, this looks great and the mint is to be commended for its work customising what is usually a drab face, as it has with previously in similar series. We’ve not seen packaging yet, but it will come in a wooden box and the mintage is capped at 500 pieces. Zhao Yun (died 229), was a military general who lived during the late Eastern Han dynasty and early Three Kingdoms period of China. Originally a subordinate of the northern warlord Gongsun Zan, Zhao Yun later came to serve another warlord, Liu Bei, and had since accompanied him on most of his military exploits, from the Battle of Changban (208) to the Hanzhong Campaign (217-219). He continued serving in the state of Shu Han – founded by Liu Bei in 221 – in the Three Kingdoms period and participated in the first of the Northern Expeditions until his death in 229. While many facts about Zhao Yun’s life remain unclear due to limited information in historical sources, some aspects and activities in his life have been dramatised or exaggerated in folklore and fiction. In the 14th-century historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he was lauded as a member of the Five Tiger Generals under Liu Bei. Zhao Yun’s original biography in the Records of the Three Kingdoms (Sanguozhi), written by Chen Shou in the third century, is only 346 Chinese characters long. In the fifth century, Pei Songzhi added annotations from the Zhao Yun Biezhuan to Zhao Yun’s biography in the Sanguozhi, providing a relatively clear, though still incomplete picture of Zhao Yun’s life.
