| Reverse description | Prominent bust of Yeon Gaesomun (연개소문), the celebrated 7th-century Goguryeo military commander and patriot, depicted in three-quarter facing view wearing a detailed military helmet adorned with two antenna-style horn finials topped with spherical terminals and a bird-form crest at the apex. The subject is rendered with a full beard and armored collar with decorative scrollwork at the base. The legend '고구려의 애국명장' (Patriotic General of Goguryeo) arcs along the upper rim in Hangul. To the left in the field appears '7세기중엽' (Mid-7th Century) and to the right '연개소문' (Yeon Gaesomun). The Juche date and Gregorian year '주체 92(2003)' are inscribed in the lower exergue. |
