The Zhang Guolao coin is the first issue of the new The Immortal Eight series. The Eight Immortals (八仙) are a group of legendary xian (“immortals”) in Chinese mythology. The power of each immortal can be transferred into a vessel that can grant life or destroy evil. Together, these eight vessels are called the “Eight Covert Immortals.” Zhang Guolao was a Taoist fangshi who lived as a hermit on Zhongtiao Mountain in Hengzhou during the Tang Dynasty. He claimed to have been a great minister of Emperor Yao in his previous life. The reverse shows Zhang Guolao riding his white mule facing backwards, which is how he is usually depicted, riding along mountain roads, visiting villages. With his right hand he holds his long beard and with his left he holds his emblem, a tube-shaped bamboo drum with two iron rods or mallets that represent immortality. In the sky you can see three herons at different distances and in the background part of the residence of the gods. On the obverse another part of the residence of the gods is represented and several herons, from the furthest to the nearest, which always accompany the eight immortals, and the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. The coin is delivered in a capsule, with its certificate, case and cardboard outer cover.
