Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation, Launches '80th Anniversary of Liberation Gold Bar'

[Financial News] Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation announced that it will sell the '80th Anniversary of Liberation Gold Bar' in limited quantities starting from the 21st. This commemorative gold bar is available in two weights, 8.15g and 19.45g, with a limited production of 815 pieces each, enhancing its rarity and collectible value.
 The 80th Anniversary Liberation Gold Bar embodies the symbol of liberation from its weight. 8.15g represents Liberation Day (August 15), and 19.45g signifies the year 1945 when liberation was achieved. It is a special project that allows people to remember the beginning of modern Korean history through 'weight' beyond mere gold weight.
 The front of the gold bar features the number '80' in a geometric pattern, expressing the waves of Korea's 80-year growth, and it is engraved with a serial number, making it suitable for both collection and investment.
 In particular, the design of the case and certificate is inspired by the 'Jingwan Temple Taegukgi'. This Taegukgi is a form where the Taeguk pattern and four trigrams are painted over the Japanese flag in black ink, strongly conveying the anti-Japanese spirit and desire for independence. This Taegukgi, discovered at Jingwan Temple in Eunpyeong-gu, Seoul, was used by independence activist Baek Chowol (1978~1944) in the process of delivering funds for the independence movement. It is evaluated as a symbol of liberation and a testament to national pride, and was designated as a national cultural heritage 'treasure' in 2010.
 This product is the first case where Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation has applied both limited quantity and serial numbers to investment-type gold bars, further enhancing investment value.
 The product can only be purchased at the Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation online shopping mall and currency product sales center in Mapo-gu, Seoul, and sales will end when 815 pieces by weight are sold out.
 In addition to this '80th Anniversary of Liberation Gold Bar', Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation is providing a foundation for consumers to access gold investment more easily through various weights of 'Orot Gold Bar' available for regular purchase.
 Meanwhile, the 'Orot Gold Bar' is a high-quality gold bar that applies the latent image technique (different shapes appear depending on the viewing angle), a patented technology of Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation, making forgery impossible, and the corporation's unique hallmark is engraved on the front of the gold bar to guarantee weight and purity, earning the trust of investors.
 Sung Chang-hoon, President of Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation, said, "We hope this gold bar, which embodies the historical value of the 80th anniversary of liberation, will become a meaningful asset for the people," and added, "Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation will continue to create new value based on public interest and trust."
