| Obverse description | Central field features two finely detailed imperial dragons confronting each other in dynamic, sinuous postures, rendered in high relief within an inner beaded circle. The legend encircling the design reads in Chinese characters and Korean Hangul script, with the romanized denomination '2 MUN' appearing in Latin characters at the base, flanked by a rosette ornament and a small circle stop. The founding-year date inscription '開國四百九十五年' (Joseon founding year 495) occupies the upper register, while the Hangul denomination '이문' appears on the right field. The entire composition is bounded by an outer beaded border. |
