<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mlov43, post: 2621198, member: 16729&quot;]In my research on these &quot;5,000 Years of Korean History&quot; 1970-dated South Korean silver commemorative coins, the only mintmark that any of them might have is the &quot;1 AR&quot; mintmark of the Gori &amp; Zucchi Mint in Arezzo, Italy.&nbsp; Some of these coins were minted there, and I&#039;m guessing, that all of these have that mintmark.&nbsp; If they don&#039;t have that mintmark, I&#039;m guessing that they were minted in Karlsruhe.&nbsp;&nbsp; Lots of guessing on my part.&nbsp; Since these were done under contract at various locations in Europe, tracking down information with precision would be difficult and possibly expensive.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I also know that two locations are cited for the minting locations for the gold coins of this series:&nbsp; The Valcambi Mint (Switzerland), and the Paris Mint.&nbsp;&nbsp; The Paris Mint versions of the gold coins from this commemorative series are highly prized, since their mintages are 100 to 25 pieces only.&nbsp; These have that Paris Mint &quot;cornucopia&quot; mint mark at the 8 o&#039;clock position on the reverse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
