[QUOTE="mlov43, post: 1813788, member: 16729"]Thanks for the link, and yes, I've looked through the "official mints" links. They have some information on the history of their coins, but little in regards to sales, unless its for their current sets or commemoratives. In fact, the link to my own research (see below) has much more information on S. Korean coins than the official Bank of Korea museum in Seoul or the Currency Museum in Daejon has to offer their visitors. The KOMSCO (Korean Mint) webpage (either the English or the Korean version), has little background on their coins, and nothing about the designers or history of the mint.
