<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mlov43, post: 2470524, member: 16729&quot;]The first official Bank of Korea mint sets were released in 1982. These sets have been produced every year since, with the exception of a four-year gap in production between 1983 and 1987. Over the years, these mint sets have undergone several changes to the appearance of the cases and slipcovers, as well as in the arrangement of the six circulating coins in the cases. The square-case sets that were produced for fifteen years between 2000 and 2014 all featured different Korean-themed case and slipcover designs, and had a better artistic aesthetic than the previous sets. </p><p><br /></p><p>In 2015, the mint set was again redesigned and presented in a hard plastic case. This was the first hard case design since 1983, reversing the 28-year trend of using blister packs. Although mint sets featuring South Korean coins can be found dating back to the 1970s, those sets were obvious clones of Bank of Japan mint sets and are not recognized by collectors in Korea as official Bank of Korea mint sets.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]519606[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
