muddler Pillar of the Community United States 7223 Posts	Posted 02/05/2018 08:54 am Another nice commemorative strange 38 years anniversary and eight stars. I think this is the only coin depicting modern warships and airplanes. Report this Post to the Staff
chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 02/05/2018 09:10 am I thought the 38th Anniversary odd as well. Funny, I hadn't noticed the ships. Thanks for pointing out that detail. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Edited by chafemasterj 02/05/2018 09:11 am Report this Post to the Staff

Yes, the selection of 1991 for coin's issue (the 38th anniversary of the armistice between North and South Korea) was no doubt inspired by the 38th parallel (a latitude line 38 degrees north of the equator) that roughly divides the Korean peninsula. Such a link, however, was not specified in the legislation that authorized the coin. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.
