Introducing the Thousand-armed Thousand-eyed Guan Yin Bodhisattva 2 oz Silver Coin, a divine embodiment of compassion and protection. This coin, with a diameter of 50 mm and legal tender status in the Republic Gabonaise, is a marvel of spiritual significance and numismatic artistry.

The obverse inscription, rich with poetic wisdom, offers insight into Guan Yin Bodhisattva’s compassionate nature, emphasizing the transformative power of mindful recitation during moments of trouble. Avalokitesvara, depicted on the coin, serves as a beacon of compassion and protection in times of peril, whether facing natural disasters or human malevolence. With divine attributes perfect in supernatural powers and wisdom, Avalokitesvara manifests universally to alleviate suffering and dispel darkness, illuminating the world with purity and compassion.

On the reverse, the Thousand-armed Thousand-eyed Guan Yin Bodhisattva is adorned with eleven compassionate heads, each symbolizing the ability to attend to various human sufferings. Though not all forty Dharma instruments are visible due to space limitations, each chosen item holds profound significance, representing the Bodhisattva’s compassionate nature and ability to bring blessings and protection. As detailed in the Dharani Sutra of the Great Compassionate Heart, each of the forty hands and items signifies specific blessings and protection, making this coin not only a collector’s item but also a spiritual token of divine compassion and guidance.
