[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation announced on the 20th that it has released a premium art medal, the 'Year of the Ox High-Relief Medal.'


The Year of the Ox medal is the fifth product in the '12 Zodiac Animal Medals' series, which has been released since 2017. It is made with a weight of 300g and a diameter of 80mm, composed of 90% copper and 10% zinc.


In particular, the art medal production method used for this medal enhances artistic value and three-dimensionality compared to regular medals, while the production and sales volume are limited, giving it high collectible value. Thanks to this, the Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation explains that art medals are popular not only domestically but also in Europe, including France and Italy.



The Year of the Ox medal is produced in a limited quantity of 100 pieces and sold at 165,000 KRW each. Purchases are available on a first-come, first-served basis through the Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation's online shopping mall.
