The commemorative coins will be issued in two types of pure silver (Ag) coins with a purity of 99.9%, a diameter of 35mm, and a weight of 19g (colored coins).

The issuance volume for each type is 7,000 coins (face value 50,000 KRW), and the selling price is 63,000 KRW for a single coin and 136,000 KRW for a set.

The front of Silver Coin I depicts a panoramic view of the lake garden, the representative garden of the expo, while the front of Silver Coin II features the sunset over the Suncheonman Wetland and the black crane, the city bird of Suncheon.

On the common reverse side of the silver coins, the expo emblem is shown, featuring the English letter "S" for Suncheon and a bird's-eye view of Bonghwa Hill. The leaves symbolize nature.

After receiving reservations, the Mint will register up to 10 coins per single type and up to 10 sets for the two-coin set on the lottery list if the recipient or delivery information is duplicated (identical).

However, applications submitted through abnormal channels or methods such as macro programs may be canceled or delivery may be restricted.
