Reverse description The reverse depicts a female archer in traditional Korean costume, shown in dynamic three-quarter profile drawing a recurve bow with both arms fully extended in the act of release. The figure is rendered in high relief with careful attention to detail in the folds of her garments and the tension of the bowstring. In the upper arc of the legend field, the inscription 'XXIV OLYMPIAD SEOUL 1988' is incused in Latin capitals. To the lower left, the official emblem of the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games — comprising the Samtaeguk motif above the Olympic rings — is prominently displayed. The denomination '10000 WON' is inscribed along the lower rim in Latin characters.
