Object boundary

Coin, medal, product, packaging, and certificate are different objects

The relationship model preserves monetary identity while documenting official collector configurations.

COIN

LEGAL TENDER

A Bank of Korea monetary object. Phase 6 references its existing coin ID.

MEDAL

NOT LEGAL TENDER

An official KOMSCO product can be numismatic without being money.

PRODUCT

OFFICIAL CONFIGURATION

The sale unit can contain coins, medals, packaging, and certificates.

DOCUMENT

PROVENANCE SUPPORT

Packaging and certificates support provenance but are never coins.

Proof determination

BU and proof are not interchangeable

A mirror-like appearance is not enough to assign an official proof designation.

No verified annual proof-set register

No recurring South Korean annual proof-set program is verified in the current official corpus. The Bank of Korea calls the 2020 special current-coin set BU, not proof.

Image integrity

Five exact official candidates failed compatible rights review

No official product image was downloaded, altered, or published. Exact-image-unavailable placeholders are intentional; packaging is never circularly masked and medal faces are never fabricated.

Evidence boundary

Unknown product codes, contents, quantities, prices, packaging, certificates, exact images, and rights remain unavailable. Product quantity never becomes coin mintage; original issue price never becomes current value; a medal never becomes legal tender.
