Issued to mark the 70th anniversary of Korea's liberation from Japanese colonial rule on August 15, 1945, this coin is part of a broader commemorative program the Bank of Korea has maintained around significant national anniversaries since the 1970s. The liberation date — known in Korea as Gwangbokjeol, literally "day of the restoration of light" — remains one of the most politically charged dates on the peninsula, observed simultaneously as a national holiday in both South and North Korea, albeit with sharply different official narratives attached to it.
