Korea Minting and Security Printing Corp. is releasing a set of commemorative medals and intaglio prints created in collaboration with Blizzard Entertainment to mark the 30th anniversary of the global game franchise Diablo.

The state-run minting company said Monday it is launching four commemorative products: a gold medal, a silver medal, a bullion silver medal and two types of intaglio prints.

The commemorative gold medal is made of 99.9 percent pure gold weighing 15.55 grams, with a diameter of 32 millimeters. The obverse features the 30th anniversary logo and an image of Diablo, while the reverse carries a design combining the "Dark Wanderer" motif with a pentagram.

The silver medal is made of 99.9 percent pure silver weighing 31.1 grams, with a diameter of 40 millimeters. It depicts the iconic demon of the Diablo series alongside distinctive elements from each character in the franchise. The company said it applied its proprietary stamping technology to achieve deep relief and precise detailing.

The bullion silver medal shares the same specifications — 99.9 percent pure silver, 31.1 grams and 40 millimeters in diameter. Both the bullion medal and the intaglio prints, available in black-and-white and color versions, feature the Diablo 30th anniversary key art. The intaglio prints were produced using the same engraving technique employed in banknote portrait printing, rendering characters through varied patterns of dots and lines.

Global production is strictly limited: 500 gold medals, 2,500 silver medals, 10,000 bullion silver medals, 500 black-and-white intaglio prints and 500 color intaglio prints.

In South Korea, the commemorative medals and bullion medal go on sale Monday on a first-come, first-served basis through Korea Minting Corp.'s online shop and KakaoTalk Gift. The intaglio prints will be sold through pre-order. Overseas sales will be handled through distributor Coins Today, also via pre-order.

The products will be on physical display from Friday through Sunday at the Blizzard booth at Game e-Sports Seoul (GES) 2026, held at Dongdaemun Design Plaza in Seoul.

Diablo is an action role-playing game first released in 1996. The franchise has expanded through Diablo II: Resurrected, Diablo III, Diablo IV and Diablo Immortal, amassing more than 130 million players worldwide.

"We have brought Diablo's iconic characters and universe to life using Korea Minting Corp.'s manufacturing technology," said Korea Minting Corp. President Seong Chang-hun. "We expect this to be a product that offers a special collecting experience for game fans at home and abroad."
