Each 2022 1/10 oz Tiger Gold Medallion was produced by KOMSCO, the official mint of South Korea.

On the reverse side of these cards, you will find additional colorized visuals as well as the official assay information.
Since ancient times, tigers have been central to Korean culture. While they no longer exist in the region, they are still considered the national animal of South Korea. Some also claim that the Korean peninsula is shaped like a sitting tiger, while others begin their stories with the words “back when tigers used to smoke.” This is the equivalent of the western tradition of beginning a tale with the words “once upon a time…”
The obverse of 2022 South Korean Tiger Gold Medallions features a tiger as it climbs up a mountain known as Seoraksan. In the background, we see an aerial lift and various peaks in the Taebaek mountain range. Inscriptions on the obverse read Korean Tiger, 2022, 1/10 oz, Seoraksan. Beneath this, there is a tiger paw print.
On the reverse side of these 1/10 oz South Korean Tiger Gold Medallions there is a stylized depiction of the Korean peninsula. In a clever twist, the entire peninsula is depicted through the use of letters from the Hangul alphabet. Also on the reverse is the Taegeuk and a latent security device that adjusts at different angles.
