Highlights:
The Korean tiger was a colloquial term used to refer to the Siberian tiger. Though the tiger is only found in the wild now in the Russian Far East and northeast China. There is some speculation that small numbers of the Siberian tiger can still be found in North Korea. However, the Siberian once roamed throughout Russias eastern reaches, a wider range of northern China, Mongolia, and the entirety of the Korean peninsula.
Obverse
On the obverse side of 1 oz Gold 2018 South Korean Tiger Medals is a depiction of a powerful tiger on the prowl behind long shoots of bamboo. The tiger is moving slowly, but is ready to pounce with its powerful claws and sharp teeth exposed. Inscriptions on this face of the medal include 1 oz, 2018, and Korean Tiger.
Reverse
The reverse of the 1 oz Gold 2018 South Korean Tiger Medals depicts the Korean peninsula without any geographic or political borders present.
