Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1978 South Korean 5000 Won (Shooting Championship) coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 1978 Asian Games, which were held in Seoul, South Korea. The coin features an image of an athlete shooting a target on the obverse, and the reverse features the logo of the Asian Games. The coin was only produced in a non-circulating format and was not meant to be used as legal tender. Instead, it was sold at a premium price as a collector's item to commemorate the event.
