The coin, which weighs 26 grams and has a 40-millimeter diameter, is made of copper and zinc. Its design shows migrant birds (culsuk-do) in the famous scenic islands (oryok-do) of Busan on one side and the logo of the Busan Games on the other.
Every member of the RP delegation, including 218 athletes, will bring home a coin.
"On behalf of the organizing committee and the people of Busan, I present to you this commemorative coin," Park told Santos-Viola.
As a gesture of appreciation, Santos-Viola presented Park with pins of the Philippine flag.
This is the first time in memory that the commemorative coin was formally presented to a delegation. In the past, organizers either delivered the coins to the delegation headquarters or asked a delegation official to pick them up.
