This Korean Commemorative looks as if it could have been minted in the early 50's

All natural toning...I've had it since it was minted in 1991!

Wow, that's pretty cool.

Why a 38th anniversary? Two years more and it would have been an even 40th.

38th Parallel; dividing line between North and South Korea.

I'm surprised you missed that one, Askari. It's because Korea was divided at the thirtyeighth parallel.

Leave Askari alone he's a sick man.
It's pretty. Couple more years and the periph tone should be moving inward and be more pretty.

You're all three right, sick or not, I should have gotten that!

That is a very nice coin! Looks great.

Here's the Reverse, if anyone is interested. Unfortunate haze spot at 10:00
