2019 South Korea 1-oz Silver Taekwondo Medal NGC MS70 First Releases - South Korea Label
Here’s A Silver Medal You’ll Really Get a Kick Out Of!
One of the world’s most popular martial arts, Taekwondo is the national sport of South Korea, where the discipline originated more than 2,300 years ago. The name itself tells you almost everything you need to know about the sport. It is derived from the Korean word “Tae” meaning foot, “Kwon” meaning fist, and “Do” meaning way of. So, Taekwondo literally means “the way of the foot and fist.” As South Korea’s most beloved sport, it should come as no surprise that Taekwondo is now the theme of a new silver series. Surprisingly, however, this is the first time South Korea is commemorating its most beloved martial art with a limited-edition medal!
Struck by the government-owned Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation (KOMSCO), the 2019 South Korea Taekwondo Medal is minted in a full ounce of highly-pure 99.9% silver. It features the image of a young Taekwondo practitioner executing a flawless roundhouse kick – a move commonly associated with the sport long recognized for its emphasis on high, jumping and spinning kicks performed with rapid-fire precision. Famous action stars like Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and Jet Li studied Taekwondo and incorporated it into their fighting styles.
An Olympic sport since 2000, Taekwondo is more than just fighting and self-defense. It also teaches discipline, self-confidence and a training regimen aimed at improving a person both physically and emotionally. The 2019 South Korea Taekwondo One-Ounce Silver Medal perfectly embodies the spirit and emotion of the martial art. The detail of the design’s stylistic imagery is so magnificent that the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) has graded it as being in flawless Mint State-70 (MS70) condition, a distinction that means this perfectly-graded medal has ZERO imperfections – showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended.
In addition, NGC has certified that your medal is a First Releases (FR) piece, a designation that means your medal was received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository within the first 30 days of its release. It will also come sonically sealed in an acrylic holder with an exclusive South Korea-themed label.
This medal will make the perfect gift for anyone learning about Taekwondo. Imagine being able to present this pure silver keepsake to a son, daughter or grandchild upon their achieving a black belt or other milestone! They will cherish it forever! But with only 25,000 struck for the entire world, you’ll need to kick it into high gear and add one of these medals to your cart now before other collectors, silver stackers and martial arts fans from around the world beat you to it.
