KOMSCO clinches global banknote award for 80th Liberation Day design
A sample banknote produced by the Korea Minting and Security Printing Corp. (KOMSCO) to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Liberation Day has won top honors at this year’s High Security Printing (HSP) Asia Awards, the state-run banknote manufacturer said Thursday. The work, designed by seasoned KOMSCO designer Kim Jae-min, helped the company win the HSP award for the second time, following its previous work commemorating the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympics.
