The PyeongChang Organizing Committee for the 2018 Olympic & Paralympic Winter Games launched the first set of coins commemorating the upcoming Games at a special event. PyeongChang 2018 coins will be issued in two batches, with the first batch of 290,500 to be produced by November 18. Pre-orders can be made throughout Korea from September 26 to October 7.
The coins are designed with images which represent PyeongChang 2018 and the seven Olympic winter sports. The PyeongChang commemorative coins also received positive reviews, such as ‘the design is one of the best Olympic coins as it embodies the Korean culture, cutting-edge technology, and dynamic sports’, at the World Money Fair 2016 held in Berlin, Germany.
