2020 NGC PF-70 First Day of Issue 1 oz Chinese White Tiger Vault Protector Gold Medal - Song Fei Signature, Black Core

The Four Guardians of China Vault Protector Series consists of a four-part collection of silver and gold medals inspired by ancient Chinese mythology. 

For more than 6,000 years, legend has told of four powerful guardians, each protecting a cardinal direction—North, South, East, and West—and representing the changing seasons. 

The designs, signed by artist Song Fei, showcase each guardian with Vault Protector Proof styling, a tribute to traditional Chinese “cash” coins, historically kept in vaults to safeguard wealth and invite good fortune.

This medal contains 1 Troy oz of 99.9% fine gold and a proof finish. It was purchased from its original mint on the first day of its official release and submitted to an NGC appraisal.

Today, SD Bullion sells 2020 1 oz Chinese White Tiger Vault Protector Gold Medals graded PF-70 and sealed in an NGC Black Core with a Song Fei Signature Label.

The Design

Each design was created by artist Song Fei in a Vault Protector Proof styling, which means the medals have a round shape and square center holes.

The obverse of this medal depicts the White Tiger of the West coiled around the central cash hole, poised to strike. The White Tiger, or Baihu of the West, represents Autumn and symbolizes force and the military.

The design also features the cardinal signs, the wind roses, and the inscription “White Tiger of the West - Autumn.”

The reverse features the Great Wall of China and the inscription “1 oz Au .999,” indicating weight, metal content, and fineness.
