Why order this 1 oz Silver Proof 2018 Singapore United States Korea Summit Medal? On June 12, 2018, US President Donald Trump and North Korean Chairman Kim Jong-un made history when they sat down together in Singapore. The meeting came as the countries neared seventy years of officially being at war with each other. To mark the occasion, the Singapore Mint issued gold, silver, and nickel-plated zinc medals. This silver medal gives collectors who are interested in history and those who dream of a day when world peace could be possible the chance to share in the milestone event. This medal was struck at the Singapore Mint from one ounce of .999 fine silver. It is part of a mintage of just 8,000 pieces.
