The Korean government issued thirty-two different coins made with gold, silver and nickel to commemorate the Seoul Olympic Games, producing them in five batches from February 7, 1987 to August 29, 1988. The front face of the coins featured designs inspired by traditional Korean folk games and heritages, while the designs for the rear face consisted of Korea’s national coat of arms, the Mugunghwa, and inscriptions of the 24th Olympic Games in Seoul. The commemorative coins were issued by the Bank of Korea at face value for the Seoul Olympic Organizing Committee, which sold them at a premium rate to collectors.
