2020 South Korea 1-oz Silver Tiger Medal Gem BU

Act Now to Get Your Paws On These Adorable Silver Tigers

Anyone who has ever seen a giant monster movie would not be surprised to see a humongous creature lurching over a famous Asian landmark. But instead of appearing on the silver screen, this oversized beast appears on a silver medal — the third release in South Korea’s popular annual Silver Tiger bullion series!

Struck in a full ounce of highly pure 99.9% fine silver by KOMSCO, the official mint of South Korea, the medal features a new one-year-only design of a Siberian Tiger cub looming over the roof of the main gate of Gyeongbokgung Palace in northern Seoul, the capital of South Korea. The adorable little cat is surrounded by foliage and a mix of freshly blooming flowers in a motif that can be best described as amazing.

The image is incredibly detailed, from the cub’s bright inquisitive eyes to details in the Gyeongbokgung Palace’s ornate gate. To the right of the cub is a silhouette of the Namsan Seoul Tower. At almost 480 meters above sea level, it’s the highest point in Seoul and one of the tallest towers in Asia. Inscribed within the silhouette is the word “SEOUL.” The design is completed with the inscription “KOREAN TIGER 2020” and a paw print.

When South Korea decided to launch a one-ounce silver bullion medal series in 2018, it came as no surprise that the theme chosen was the Siberian Tiger. An endangered animal that is found today almost exclusively in Eastern Russia, its range once extended throughout the Korean peninsula where it is integral to Korea’s creation myth. Tragically, no tigers are believed to roam the mountains of Korea anymore and their total population numbers only in the hundreds.

Fortunately for you, South Korea’s tiger prowls again on this beautiful silver medal. Each comes in gorgeous Gem Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition, so it looks as fresh and crisp as the day it left the mint. Plus, each has an added security feature —a lenticular design struck into the silver itself. Visible on the medal’s reverse, the lenticular feature will display either “Ag” or “999” depending on the viewing angle.

Just 33,000 of these wonderful Silver Tiger Bullion Medals have been struck for worldwide release! Combined with its charming image, proximity to Chinese collectors, appeal to wildlife enthusiasts, and attractiveness to silver stackers around the world and it all adds up to a relatively small mintage.
