Best Answer

The chief designers of South Korea's coins that were released between 1966 and 1970 were Kang Bak, Jo Byeong-soo, and Oh Dong-hwan. The coins they designed were the first series of the One Won, Five Won, and Ten Won coins that were issued in 1966, along with the 100 Won in 1970, and the 50 Won in 1972. Kang, Jo, and Oh worked for the Korean Mint (KOMSCO) from the 1960s into the 1980s. This team of three men, along with other designers that later joined the design team at KOMSCO, also designed most of the South Korean commemorative coin designs of the 1970s. By the time South Korea redesigned its coins in 1983, Kang Bak had died and Jo Byeong-soo had left to design banknotes. It seems that Oh Dong-hwan was left as the senior coin designer at KOMSCO, and along with newcomers to the KOMSCO design department, Oh has credit as the main designer of the 1988 Seoul Olympics commemorative coins. It seems that it was this latter design team that is responsible for the designs you see on South Korea's coins today.

Why is there no date beside the standing liberty on my 5.00 gold coin?

It sounds like you may have an error coin although having the entire date missing is a bit unusual. Parts of a design on a coin appear to be missing when the die used to struck the coin becomes contaminated with oil, dirt or some other foreign substance and that part of the coin design is filled in. When it is completely filled in, then the coins appear to have that part of the design missing.
