The Complete Guide to the Phoenix Collection

The South Korean Phoenix Series is a highly popular line of sovereign bullion rounds manufactured by KOMSCO (Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation), the official government-owned mint of South Korea.

First launched in 2020, the series is dedicated to the Bonghwang (the Korean Phoenix), a mythical bird symbolizing immortality, virtue, and supreme authority. Unlike its Western counterpart, which burns and rises from the ashes, the Eastern Bonghwang is an eternal creature representing peace and harmony.

Because KOMSCO pieces are undenominated, they do not feature a currency face value (like the South Korean Won). Instead, they are struck in 1 oz of 99.9% pure silver (.999 fine) with a 40mm diameter and feature a rolling annual design change alongside sophisticated anti-counterfeiting tech.
