| Additional information |
South Korea minted this piece specifically for the 1986 Seoul Asian Games, held in September and October of that year — a event the government treated as a dress rehearsal for the 1988 Seoul Olympics. The commemorative program was extensive, spanning multiple denominations and metals, with this copper-nickel issue serving the mass-market end of the series while silver and gold pieces targeted collectors abroad.
KM#41 is among the more frequently encountered Korean commemoratives from this decade, widely distributed through bank channels domestically.
