This is a privately issued novelty note, not legal tender. South Korea's central bank, the Bank of Korea, issues the Won — no "Dollar" denomination has ever existed in the South Korean monetary system. "Dokdo" notes of this type emerged as a wave of nationalist memorabilia tied to the longstanding territorial dispute with Japan over the islets known in Korean as Dokdo and in Japanese as Takeshima, administered by South Korea since 1954 but claimed by Japan.
