| Additional information |
South Korea hosted the G20 Summit in November 2010, the first time the gathering was held in Asia. The 30,000 won face value is a deliberate anomaly — no circulating denomination anywhere near that figure existed in Korean coinage, placing this squarely in commemorative territory with a value chosen to roughly reflect the silver content premium at the time of issue.
