Bullion Exchanges is pleased to offer the 2018 1/2 oz South Korea Gold Tiger Medal BU! Struck by the Korea Minting, Security Printing & ID Card Operating Corporation (KOMSCO), this impressive medal contains 1/2 troy ounce of .9999 fine gold and comes in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. The 2018 issue represents the third release in KOMSCO’s Gold Korean Tiger Series and features a powerful new interpretation of the tiger alongside distinctive Korean imagery and advanced security features. With a limited mintage of only 4,036 medals, this fractional gold release combines substantial precious metal content with a considerably limited annual production.

The tiger has held an important place in Korean art, mythology, and storytelling for centuries. Traditionally associated with strength and courage, it has appeared throughout Korean cultural history in paintings, folktales, and other forms of artistic expression. KOMSCO uses this recognizable animal as the centerpiece of a modern precious metals series that combines Korean symbolism with high-purity gold.
