This medal was struck at the home mint of the host nation for the summit, the Singapore Mint. It is a fantastic choice for collectors who are interested in world history, as well as those who are dedicated to the cause of peace.
Powerful Dove of Peace Design
The obverse design features two hands shaking in front of the flags of the two nations involved in the summit. The North Korean flag is set off to the left, while the American flag is to the right. The date and the event, “12.06.2018” and “SUMMIT IN SINGAPORE,” are inscribed above the flags. The entire image is encircled by a rim frame in which the names of the two countries involved, “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF KOREA,” are inscribed.
A dove of peace spreads its wings on the reverse under an inscription of the words “WORLD PEACE.” At the bottom of the design, roses and magnolia sieboldii, the national flowers of the United States and North Korea, are interlaced with other. The colorful image enhances the hopeful theme of the coin.
