Reverse
The reverse face of 2019 South Korean Tiger Gold Medals bears a depiction of the Korean peninsula from the border with China in the north to the shores of the Sea of Japan in the south.

History
Korean tigers no longer exist in the wild. The term Korean tiger refers to the Siberian tiger that used to inhabit large swaths of Russia and East Asia. The Siberian tiger is now confined to the Russian Far East and North China, but once roamed through Mongolia, broad swaths of China, and the Korean peninsula.
