The 10,000 Won note was redesigned in 2007 as part of a broader currency modernization program the Bank of Korea had been phasing in since the early 2000s. The Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation facility in Daejeon had by this point taken over full domestic production of South Korean currency — a consolidation that completed the country's shift away from any reliance on foreign security printers.
Pick 56 is a common circulation note with no significant scarcity or known printing anomalies. The security package is modest for its era — watermark and thread only, without the holograms or color-shifting ink that the Bank of Korea introduced on later issues.
