[[caption-width-right:350:Miao Lung: "Is that how a medallion looks like?"]]
''The Twelve Gold Medallions'' is a 1970 Creator/ShawBrothers {{Wuxia}} film starring Creator/YuehHua and Chin Ping.
In the late Sung Dynasty, the lawful Minister, Yueh Fei, has been framed by his enemies, who had collaborated with the invading Mongols in an attempt to get Minister Yueh out of the picture and facilitate an invasion. Twelve golden plaques... er, medallions, bearing the emperor's seal, to be delivered to the Imperial Court, will result in Minister Yueh being sentenced to death, but it can be prevented if a hero can retrieve all twelve medallions from the villainous martial artists and swordsmen who had the medallions in their possession.
Wavering Sword Miao Lung (Yueh Hua), a lawful warrior, is up to the task, where he needs to race against time to defeat the villains holding those medallions and prevent the Minister's execution at all costs.
