The Mountain Ghost Charm Coin (山鬼花钱, Shānguǐ Huāqián) is a traditional Taoist talisman primarily used for warding off evil spirits. Despite the name "Mountain Ghost" (Shānguǐ), it does not refer to a ghost in the Western sense; rather, it refers to a "Mountain Spirit".
Its primary purpose is to drive away malicious entities, especially those thought to cause illness or misfortune. When worn as a pendant, it is believed to strengthen the wearer's personal "aura" to defend against negative influences. Because it is shaped like a coin, it also carries the symbolic hope for prosperity. These coins are common gifts for housewarmings, birthdays, and for people who travel. They are often placed above doorways to safeguard he home.
The front of a Mountain Spirit or Ghost coin features a Taoist incantation intended to suppress demons. It often invokes the God of Thunder (Leigong) to strike down evil. The reverse displays the Eight Trigrams (Bagua), a fundamental Taoist symbol representing the forces of the universe. This is used to balance energy and resolve bad luck.
