Reverse description The reverse depicts a seated Buddha statue in the Nahanjun hall of Anhwa Temple, rendered in fine relief against a background of carved stone niches filled with smaller Buddhist figures. The principal figure is shown in a meditative posture atop a decorated lotus pedestal. A Korean inscription in the upper field reads '개선관광기념' (Commemorating Kaesong Tourism), and the lower field bears the inscription '안화사 라한전' identifying the specific hall and temple. The overall composition conveys a serene devotional atmosphere characteristic of Korean Buddhist iconography.
