Zhu Rong (祝融), The Fiery Deity
Zhu Rong, the ancient Chinese God of Fire, is celebrated for his control over flames and cosmic order. His mythological essence and the modern space exploration of China’s Mars rover bearing his name are honored in this coin.
The reverse showcases Zhu Rong commanding twin dragons over Mars’s rugged terrain, symbolizing strength and guardianship. The obverse captures him amidst volcanic fury, with the Vermilion Bird, solidifying his celestial sovereignty.
Issued by the Republic of Chad in 2024, this 2 oz legal tender coin is made from .999 fine silver, measures 45 mm in diameter, and has a face value of 10000 Francs CFA. Its antiqued ultra-high relief finish highlights its allure. Limited to just 500 pieces, this coin offers a unique fusion of mythology and interstellar discovery.
