"Koguryos Four Directional Constellation System should be understood in relation to the Four Guardians Deities painted on Koguryo burial chamber walls Large paintings of each of the Four Guardian Deities in the four directions can be found in most Koguryo tombs from the middle and later period of tomb construction (5th - 7th c) It has been confirmed that at least thirty-four Koguryo tombs contain mural paintings which depict the Four Guardian Deities. These four sacred animals-namely the East Blue Dragons, West White Tiger, South Red Phoenix and North Black Turtle-were thought to protect the deceased in the afterlife by guarding the four cardinal directions.
(Ref.UNESCO)
Koguryo: Koguryo was an ancient Korean country, existed almost 700 years between AD 37 ~ AD 668, situated in Northern part of Korea and Manchuria.  Koguryo was a key country during the Period of the Three States in Korea along with Baekjae and Shilla."

Comes in Certi-Lock packaging. Like a wide credit card, the coin is sealed in its tamper-proof centre. The back of the card has a serial number, mintage number and an encrypted barcode. This can be read using only special smartphone app, so on the whole, far more secure than the typical bullion coin, especially with a synthetic DNA embedded within it as well.

The package will also hide the block chain serial number and pass word on the Certi-lock card to be able to claim the crypto coin value by the customer. Coin has a mintage of 15,000 (like many coins this was the max available to be made- actual amount produced unknown)."

I have tried to go through the redemption process several times with no response what so ever.  I contacted the coin/bullion dealer I got them from with no response. (The mint whom produced these has no ties to the bitcoin what so ever).  I am going to look a bit further in to this before I likely post a scam thread about it.  

That said, this is a very cool and unique coin that I highly recommend owning.

This coin is legal tender.

yeah i figured at 85 cents tender value it most likely was real tender.

i did bid 0.0051 was not sure it was extra for the shipping.

but it is pretty.

I'm almost not convinced these coins exist. Two auctions for them and both have used stock photos of coin 1.
Also mine haven't arrived yet and I'm dying to see what they look like (aside from stock photos)

i teegumes, I can confirm that chibitcty is not scamming. I won this coin in auction end of November (reference link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5201615.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5201615.0)) and have received the coin this week. maybe takes a little bit longer, but all legit and trustworthy!
