Additional information

Issued as part of South Korea's commemorative program tied to the 1988 Seoul Olympics, this piece was released a year ahead of the Games alongside several other gold and silver denominations celebrating Korean cultural heritage. Fan dancing — the buchaechum — was specifically chosen as one of the representative art forms to be showcased during the Olympic ceremonies, giving this issue a direct programmatic link to the event rather than a merely thematic one.
