Comments

The Taurus is the fifth release of the Zi:Sin series from the South Korean KOMSCO Mint. This series is based on the Korean mythological Twelve Guardians that serve to protect the world against evil forces from twelve directions and is loosely based on the Chinese Lunar Calendar. The guardian Taurus is a Latin word that loosely translates to Bull (or the Year of the Ox). With twelve different lunar animals in the lunar calendar, it is expected KOMSCO will release a further eight designs in the coming years.
