On the 22nd, KOMSCO announced the release of the double-sided high-relief "Rabbit" commemorative medal.

Unlike the commonly used flat-surfaced medals, this medal features a high depth applied to the surface, enhancing its three-dimensional effect.

Until now, high-relief technology was mainly applied to only one side of a medal. However, this time, high-relief technology was applied to both sides, with the front side depicting the front of the rabbit and the back side showing the rabbit’s rear in a three-dimensional manner, according to KOMSCO.

The back of the medal includes the inscription "2023 YEAR OF RABBIT" along with KOMSCO’s name and hallmark, enhancing the product’s trustworthiness and dignity.

In particular, the antique finish treatment adds to the rabbit’s three-dimensional feel, and the product is designed so that it can actually be touched.

The commemorative medal is made of pure silver (Ag·99.9%) with a weight of 37.5g, and is limited to 500 pieces. The sale price (including VAT) is 187,000 KRW, and it can be purchased from the KOMSCO online shopping mall and the Orot and Diwum centers starting from the 22nd.

A KOMSCO official stated, “We will continue to release new products applying the latest technology to the embossing techniques accumulated through making coins and medals, contributing to expanding the base of the domestic collecting market.”
