To the left, the issuer's name 'THE BANK OF KOREA' is inscribed in three stacked lines of Latin capitals. The date of issue appears in the lower left field beneath the issuer's legend. A beaded border encircles the entire design, consistent with the obverse treatment.

Aanvullende informatie	South Korea switched the 10 Won from bronze to brass in 1970 as copper prices climbed globally, a cost-driven decision that affected dozens of minting programs worldwide during the same period. The change coincided with Korea's rapid industrialization under Park Chung-hee's export-driven economic plans, when coins were circulating in volumes the earlier composition couldn't sustain economically. Later dates in this series — particularly toward 1982 — saw the design retired entirely in favor of a smaller, aluminum-clad issue, rendering the brass type obsolete after just over a decade of production.
