| Obverse description | The national arms of South Korea — the taeguk symbol within a circular floral rosette, above a ribbon inscribed in Hangul — is depicted centrally, surrounded by a stylised circular device. Below the arms, a decorative spray of hibiscus flowers (mugunghwa, the national flower) in high relief fills the lower field. A circular Hangul legend reading '제24회 서울올림픽대회 일만원' (24th Seoul Olympic Games, 10,000 Won) runs around the periphery, with the date 1988 inscribed in the lower field. |

| Reverse description | A rhythmic gymnast is depicted in dynamic full-body silhouette, leaping gracefully across the central field while wielding clubs in both outstretched hands, rendered in high sculptural relief against a mirror-polished field. The Seoul 1988 Olympic Games official logo — combining the stylised taeguk motif with the five Olympic rings — appears to the lower left. The legend 'XXIV OLYMPIAD SEOUL 1988' arcs around the upper periphery in incuse Latin lettering, while the denomination '10000 WON' is inscribed along the lower edge. |
