The Yeongnam Alps refers to a group of mountains over 1,000 meters above sea level, connecting Ulju County in Ulsan and the cities of Miryang and Yangsan in South Gyeongsang Province. It is a well-known mountain tourism destination, attracting more than 3 million visitors annually.

Since 2021, Ulju County has provided pure silver medals produced by the Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation to the first 30,000 hikers who complete the Yeongnam Alps and receive certification.

However, as disappointment grew among hikers who completed the course but were unable to receive the commemorative medal, the Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation signed a business agreement with Ulju County in July last year. As a result, hikers who were not included in the initial group of recipients can now individually purchase the commemorative medal from the corporation's online mall.

Orders for the commemorative medal can be placed through the corporation's online mall from 10:00 a.m. on December 1 until 3:00 p.m. on December 12.

Applicants will receive their medals in February next year. Serial numbers will be distributed starting from 30,001.

Seong Changhun, President of the Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation, stated, "I hope that the Yeongnam Alps Completion Certification Medal will allow more people to experience the beauty of the Yeongnam Alps and the pride of completing the course firsthand. As a public institution, we will continue to strive to contribute to the revitalization of local tourism."
