4 Bi-metallic Overview for Korea....by Allen Kwon, South-Korea

I have introduced you Korean bi-metallic coin and medals in WBCC newsmail since #654.
First of all, I finished researching all Korean Bi-metallic things.
Korean Bi-metallics have issued total 18 (1 coin, 2 tokens, 15 medals) until now.
As you see, most of them are medals.
It's some difficult to collect Korean Bi-metallics, because half of them included in only set.
Althouh Korea started to issue Bi-metallic since 2000, I suppose that Korean Bi-metallic would be issued much more and more.
