| Reverse description | Central field bears the large Chinese characters 一圜 (One Won) within a beaded inner circle, serving as the principal denomination legend. Flanking the central circle are two sweeping sprays of plum blossoms tied at the base with a decorative ribbon bow, a motif associated with Korean royal symbolism. At the top of the reverse, above the inner circle, appears a stylised yin-yang (taeguk) roundel. The entire design is contained within an outer beaded border, giving the reverse a formally balanced and elegant heraldic appearance consistent with late Joseon court aesthetics. |
