| Obverse description | Central device depicts a stylized Latin cross set within a lower semicircular arc, rendered in a bold modern graphic style with horizontal ribbing flanking the base of the cross to suggest radiating light or wings.

A circular legend in Hangul runs along the left and upper periphery reading '천주교전래 200주년기념' (200th Anniversary of the Introduction of Catholicism), while the issuer's name '한국은행' (Bank of Korea) curves along the lower left and the commemorative date range '1784-1984' appears along the lower right border, all separated by raised bullet points. |

| Reverse description | A detailed frontal view of Myeongdong Cathedral (명동성당) in Seoul dominates the field, depicted in a fine relief rendering that captures the Gothic Revival architecture of the building, including its prominent central bell tower surmounted by a cross, flanked by symmetrical nave wings, pointed arched windows, and decorative buttresses. Trees in low relief flank the cathedral at lower left and right, lending depth to the composition. The Hangul legend '천 원' (One Thousand Won) is inscribed in the lower exergue, serving as the denomination inscription. |
