| Reverse description | A detailed view of the reconstructed Tomb of King Tongmyong (Dongmyong), founder of the Goguryeo kingdom, rendered in fine relief against a polished field. The tomb is depicted as a large earthen burial mound set upon a rectangular stone-terraced base, flanked by stone statues and pine trees, with stylized clouds in the background. The English legend 'TOMB OF KING TONGMYONG' arcs along the upper periphery. Below the central design, the Korean inscription '동명왕릉' (Tomb of King Dongmyong) appears above '2300여년전' (over 2300 years ago), with the Juche calendar date and Gregorian equivalent 'Juche 91 (2002)' in the lower exergue. |
