| Reverse description | The large numeral '10' dominates the central field, with the denomination '전' (Chon) inscribed below. The Hangul characters '견' (left) and '본' (right) flank the numeral, together forming the word '견본' meaning 'Specimen', thus dividing the specimen inscription around the face value. The entire central device is encircled by a decorative geometric border pattern of interlocking angular motifs characteristic of traditional Korean design, set within a raised rim. |
