While there are no longer any wild tigers left in the wild of South Korea, the Siberian tiger remains the national animal of the country. These big cats were eradicated during the period in which Japan was ruling Korea from 1910-1945. Tigers though are still an important fixture in South Korean culture as evidenced by the 8th year of the South Korean Tiger Medal from KOMSCO. Featuring the background of Homigot, order your 2023 1 oz South Korean Gold Tiger Medal today, at JM Bullion.
Medal Highlights:
Homigot means “tiger’s tail cape.” The shape of the Korean peninsula is often compared to a tiger. Since Homigot is located on a cape, it represents the tail of the tiger. Homigot is home to the Homigot Lighthouse which is the tallest lighthouse in South Korea. Homigot is also home to the ‘Hand of Coexistence.’ This two-handed sculpture was made to commemorate the new millennium. The right hand is located in the sea while the left hand is in the sunrise plaza.
2023 1 oz South Korean Gold Tiger Medals will arrive in a themed display box alongside a Certificate of Authenticity. All medals in this listing will be available in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. These medals were produced by KOMSCO, which also produces South Korea’s circulating currency.
The obverse of 2023 1 oz Gold Tiger Medals showcases a tiger. This adult tiger is shown in the foreground while Homigot is depicted behind it. Homigot is a point of land in South Korea that leads out to the Sea of Japan. Depicted on the medal is the Homigot Lighthouse as well as the right hand of coexistence emerging from the sea.
The reverse of 2023 South Korean Gold Tiger Medals features a stylized version of the Korean peninsula. In this unique depiction, the peninsula is created with the letters of the Korean alphabet. To the left, we see the Taegeuk while on the right there is a security device for the medal. This image is framed by identifying marks of the medal along with tiger stripes.
