| 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. |
