| Additional information |
Issued to commemorate the Yeosu Expo held in South Korea from May to August 2012, themed "The Living Ocean and Coast." The event drew roughly 8 million visitors and was the first World Expo held in Korea. The 15,000 won denomination is a deliberate anomaly — not pegged to any practical monetary value but set to reflect the gold content's approximate bullion worth at time of issue, a pricing strategy the Bank of Korea has used across several commemorative series.
