KOMSCO announced on the 2nd that from the 2nd to the 17th, it will accept reservations and sell three types of commemorative coins featuring scenic views of Seoraksan, Chiaksan, and Wolchulsan.

The commemorative coins are made of pure silver with a purity of 99.9%, measuring 35mm in diameter and weighing 19g (colored coins). The issuance volume is 10,000 pieces per type, and the sales price is 63,000 KRW for each single coin and 186,000 KRW for the set of three.

The front side depicts landscapes reflecting the characteristics of each national park, while the reverse side features representative flora and fauna (flagship species) of each national park, expressing the future value of ecological conservation.

Reservations can be made through KOMSCO's online shopping mall, NH Nonghyup Bank branches nationwide, Woori Bank branch counters, and their websites.

The commemorative coins are sold by reservation rather than on a first-come, first-served basis. If the number of applicants exceeds the issuance volume, the final buyers will be determined by lottery.

In this case, if the same recipient or delivery information is duplicated, only up to 10 coins per single type and 10 sets of the three-coin set will be registered for the lottery list.

However, if the purchase application is made through abnormal routes or methods such as using macro programs, the winning may be canceled or delivery may be restricted.

KOMSCO has issued 2 to 4 commemorative coins annually since 2017 to widely promote the beauty of Korea's natural environment and the future value of ecological conservation.

A total of 22 types of commemorative coins have been issued so far. By year, they include Jirisan and Bukhansan in 2017; Deogyusan, Mudeungsan, and Hallyeohaesang in 2018; Songnisan, Naejangsan, and Gyeongju in 2019; Wolaksan, Gyeryongsan, Hallasan, and Taeanhaean in 2020; Sobaeksan, Taebaeksan, Dadohaehaesang, and Juwangsan in 2021; and Gayasan, Byeonsanbando, and Odaesan in 2022.

The commemorative coins for Seoraksan, Chiaksan, and Wolchulsan available for reservation and sale this month are the final products in the series.
