| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in olive-green and ochre, its composition entirely typographic and ornamental. Two large numeral '20' counters in outlined block figures flank a central Hangul denomination character set within a scrollwork medallion, all against a dense guilloche underprint of concentric scalloped lobes. The Korean legend appears in small characters at the top centre of the central medallion, and an ornate foliate scroll device is positioned at the foot below the central emblem. |
