The Korea Minting, Security Printing & ID Card Operating Corporation (KOMSCO) announced on the 16th that it will release the official SEVENTEEN 10th anniversary commemorative medal in collaboration with HYBE Co., Ltd.

The front side of the medal features the SEVENTEEN logo at the center, a pattern shaped like a record, the names of the 13 members on the pattern, sparkling stars, and the debut year engraved.
The back side is engraved with the titles of albums released over the years, expressing SEVENTEEN’s journey over the past decade with the SEVENTEEN symbol shining in the center of a mine.
The first commemorative medal will be released in three types: two gold medals (1oz, 1/2oz) and one silver medal (1oz), with a total limited quantity of 17,000 pieces.
The gold medals will be limited to 4,000 pieces (1,000 for 1oz and 3,000 for 1/2oz), produced and sold in quantities symbolizing one group and three units, while the silver medals will be limited to 13,000 pieces to symbolically represent the 13 members, according to KOMSCO.
