| Obverse description | Central field features the large numeral '100' in bold relief, flanked on either side by stylised foliate sprays. Above the denomination, two phoenixes (bonghwang) face each other with wings raised and necks intertwined, symbolising Korean national identity. The Korean calendar year '4292' is inscribed above the phoenixes at the top of the field. The legend 'REPUBLIC OF KOREA' curves along the lower rim in Latin characters. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded inner border. |
