2019 Silver 1 oz South Korean Tiger

The Republic of Korea and KOMSCO are pleased to announce their second annual release of the 1 oz Silver Korean Tiger medallion series. The gold series was introduced with great public acclaim in 2016. Now, with the companion offering being produced in 999 fine silver bullion, the stunning Korean Tiger series becomes accessible to silver collectors and investors. This incredibly striking second annual release of the 2019 Silver 1 oz South Korean Tiger medallion is absolutely amazing!

The Korean Tiger bullion medallion series features a different tiger with each annual release. Korea is well known for its diverse species of Asian tigers. Undoubtedly fierce, and dangerous in the wild, they are nonetheless, beautifully magnificent creatures.

The Moment Before!

The obverse of this 2019 Silver 1 oz South Korean Tiger medallion features an extremely close-up action scene. The tiger is depicted in a straight-on head view, displaying all the ferocity of an attack. The tiger’s eyes are sharply fixed upon his intended prey. His jaws are open wide, revealing his ready fangs. Yet, even as deadly fearsome these features are, what really drives the amazing power of this scene is the action!

The tiger is shown ripping through a barrier with his massive razor-sharp claws to get to his victim. This magnificent creature is displayed with the finest of detail in a strikingly imaginative scene, capturing the moment before pouncing for the attack. Inscriptions include “KOREAN TIGER 2019” at the top left rim, and the weight of 1 oz at the bottom right.

The reverse displays a remarkable design, using characters from the Korean alphabet to form the shape of the Korean Peninsula. The larger letters spell the country’s official name. The overall stylistic effect is stunning! An attractive narrow band encircles the rim, which displays a pattern of the tiger’s stripes. The inscriptions within the band include, “REPUBLIC OF KOREA” at the top rim, and “FINE SILVER 999” at the bottom. To the left of the peninsula design is the national emblem displayed on the Republic of Korea’s flag. To the right is the unique anti-counterfeiting security feature of a latent image engraving, which very faintly displays, “999” in a small circle.

With this being a very limited mintage of only 20,000, and the second annual edition of the silver companion to the on-going gold Korean Tiger series, you should not pass on this one. Stunning!
