It is surrounded by inscriptions for the year-date "2017," the precious metal content "FINE SILVER 999," the issuing country "REPUBLIC OF KOREA," the face value "1 CLAY," and the manufacturer "KOMSCO." Just beneath the shield is a special latent image mark that ensures the authenticity of the medallion.
