| Obverse description | Central field features two intricately engraved dragons confronting one another in dynamic, intertwined postures, rendered in fine detail within a dotted inner circle. The circumferential legend, reading clockwise in Hanja and Hangul characters, gives the dynastic title and regnal date above, with the denomination in both Korean script and Latin characters ('20 MUN') positioned along the lower periphery. Floral rosette stops punctuate the legend. The entire design is enclosed by a beaded border. |
