| Beschrijving voorzijde | The central design features the Korean national emblem — the taeguk symbol set within a stylized hibiscus flower (mugunghwa) — encircled by a curved ribbon bearing the Hangul legend 대한민국 (Republic of Korea). Flanking the emblem on either side are decorative sprays of hibiscus blossoms in high relief. The denomination '1.000 원 WON' appears in the lower central field, with the issuer legend '한국은행' (Bank of Korea) inscribed in large Hangul characters along the lower rim. The dual-calendar date '4303 – 1970' is positioned in the upper field, referencing both the Dangun era and the Gregorian year. |

The legend 'REPUBLIC OF KOREA' arcs across the upper rim, while 'U.N. FORCES' is inscribed at the base of the inner circle.

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued to mark the twentieth anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War, this piece commemorates the UN intervention that began in June 1950 — the first time the United Nations directly authorized collective military force against an aggressor state. South Korea was the only country on earth with a direct stake in that precedent, and the Bank of Korea's decision to produce a heavy .999 fine silver piece reflects the weight the ROK government placed on that distinction.
KM#13 is a low-mintage commemorative with limited distribution outside South Korea, making it genuinely scarce in Western collections.
