| Obverse description | Central field features two intricately engraved dragons confronting one another in dynamic posture, their bodies intertwined amid stylised clouds and flame motifs, all contained within a beaded inner circle. The circumferential legend, reading from the top in Chinese characters, states the dynastic title and Dangun era date, with the Latin denomination '2 WARN' inscribed in raised letters along the lower arc between two separating rosette stops. A beaded border runs along the coin's rim, framing the entire composition in the Eastern decorative tradition characteristic of late Joseon coinage patterns. |
