KOMSCO’s Medals Recognised as Good Design Products

The Korean mint and printer KOMSCO has announced that its high-relief Tiger silver medal and Cheonsang Yeolcha Bunyajido medal have been selected as Good Design (GD) Products, under a scheme hosted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy of Korea and held every year since 1985 to recognise outstanding design.

The high-relief Tiger silver medal issued to mark the 2022 Year of the Black Tiger expresses the intense energy of a roaring tiger through a three-dimensional effect that could not be portrayed in previous medals.

The Cheonsang Yeolcha Bunyajido medal was produced in collaboration with Golden Dew, a diamond crafting company to commemorate Science Day in Korea. It includes eight diamonds to represent the seven Big Dippers and the North Star, which were inserted to enhance sparkle and three-dimensional effects.
