The Four Guardians hold a special place in Chinese culture beyond their celestial roles. They have influenced architecture, city planning, and military strategy throughout history. Ancient Chinese cities were often built with gates corresponding to the four directions, each featuring its respective guardian for protection. In imperial tombs, guardian statues were believed to shield the spirits of the deceased.

The obverse of the 2025 Australian Gold Chinese Myths & Legends Four Guardians Coin displays a left-profile portrait of King Charles III. This effigy, created by artist Dan Thorne, is the first official depiction of Charles III on Australian coinage and shows him without a crown.

On the reverse, the Four Guardians are presented in stunning detail. The Azure Dragon, symbolizing spring, wood, and renewal, watches over the East. The Vermilion Bird of the South represents summer, fire, and vitality. The White Tiger, guardian of the West, is linked to autumn, metal, and strength. Completing the group is the Black Tortoise, often shown entwined with a snake, representing winter, water, and wisdom, as it protects the North.
