1 000 Won 2017 PyeongChang Olympics, Paralympics

Issued as part of Korea's four-series commemorative program leading up to the 2018 Winter Games, this coin was released two years before the opening ceremony — an unusually long promotional runway driven by the Korean Mint's decision to stagger releases annually from 2014 onward. The inclusion of Paralympic branding alongside Olympic marks on a circulating-format commemorative was, at the time, relatively uncommon in East Asian numismatic practice.
