| Obverse description | The central field features the official emblem of the 2002 FIFA World Cup Korea/Japan — a stylized figure in dynamic motion rendered in bold relief, evoking both a football player and a traditional East Asian mythical creature. The emblem is encircled by an inner ring, with the legend '2002 FIFA' arching across the upper periphery in Latin characters, flanked on the right by the Korean script '월드컵'. Along the lower border, the denomination '천원' (one thousand won), the issue year '2001', and the issuer '한국은행' (Bank of Korea) are inscribed in Korean, separated by raised dots. A small copyright notice '© 1999 FIFA TM' appears in the right field. |
