| Obverse description | The Republic of Korea state arms — a central roundel bearing the taeguk symbol within a stylized floral rosette — is depicted in the upper field, flanked by a spray of hibiscus syriacus (mugunghwa, the national flower) blossoms and buds arranged across the lower half of the coin. A ribbon beneath the arms bears the Hangul inscription for 'Republic of Korea' (대한민국). The surrounding legend in Hangul reads '제24회 서울올림픽' (24th Seoul Olympics) along the upper rim, while the lower rim carries the issuer name (한국은행, Bank of Korea), the date 1988, and the denomination in Hangul characters (이만오천원). |

| Reverse description | Three female figures dressed in traditional Korean hanbok are depicted playing the traditional game of neolttwigi (널뛰기), or Korean seesaw: one figure stands elevated at the left end of the plank having just landed, a second figure is airborne at the right in mid-leap, and a third figure sits centrally on the ground steadying the plank. The Seoul 1988 Olympic emblem — comprising the stylized samilta spiral above the Olympic rings — is shown in the upper centre field. The curved legend 'XXIV OLYMPIAD SEOUL 1988' arcs around the upper rim, and the denomination '25000 WON' is inscribed along the lower rim. |
