History
The Republic of Korea issued a 10 won commemorative at Seoul on 5 October 1972 for the fiftieth anniversary of the Boy Scouts of Korea. Huei Han Chun designed a Scout in uniform giving the three-finger salute, with the Taegeukgi and the association emblem. The Government Printing Agency printed 1,000,000 copies by photogravure in panes of fifty, comb perforated 13½ × 13.
