Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation (Komsco) has minted SEVENTEEN-themed medals to celebrate the group’s 10th anniversary.
The medals were created in collaboration with SEVENTEEN’s agency Pledis Entertainment and its parent company HYBE, as well as Komsco. The medals “embody SEVENTEEN’s identity and achievements,” according to Komsco.
The design of SEVENTEEN’s 10th anniversary commemorative medal features the group’s official logo, a vinyl record motif. The front features the names of the 13 members, adorned with sparkling stars and the year of their debut. The back features SEVENTEEN’s symbol radiating from the center, reflecting the group’s ten-year journey.
A total of 1,000 one-ounce gold medals, 3,000 two-ounce gold medals, and 13,000 silver medals will be available for sale, representing all 13 members of the group.
The sale will be held in two batches, with advance orders for the first batch starting on Thursday and ending on January 31.
These medals can be purchased on various domestic and international shopping platforms, including Hmall, Lotte ON, Panda America, and Singapore Mint.
Sample medals will be on display at Komsco’s coin shop in Mapo District, western Seoul, and shipment of the ordered medals is expected to begin in late March.
“We wanted to showcase SEVENTEEN’s world-class, brilliant, and glorious reputation by using our most advanced technology. We also plan to allocate a portion of the proceeds for meaningful purposes,” said Komsco CEO Sung Chang Hoon.
On our Instagram Story, we asked you what you thought about the price of these medals. In this question, we are not involving SEVENTEEN as a group, but rather to get your opinion as a fan. Do you think that a price beyond 5000 euros is representative for the 10 years of career? Is it judicious? Can the CARATS (fans of the group) afford to get such a souvenir? We await your opinions.
