Shaolin Kung Fu is considered the oldest institutionalized Kung Fu styles. It was developed in the Buddhist Shaolin temple in Songshan mountain, Henan province, China.
This luxurious, high relief silver coin features a background with a tiger and 2 Swarovski crystal inserts for the eyes. In the foreground, a well known stance of Tiger Style Kung Fu, which is famous for toughened hand weapons, incredible power, and absolute ferocity.
The animal corresponds to the posture of a fighter. Tiger, Crane, Leopard, Snake, and Dragon – the imagery from the Chinese martial arts – are widely depicted on the coin’s obverse together with the Shaolin Kung Fu School.
The coin is inspired by one Chinese saying: “All martial arts under heaven arose out of Shaolin.”
