| Obverse description | Restrike of the obverse design from the King Gojong 20 Warn pattern of 1884. Two confronted dragons flank a central medallion, with the date rendered in the Korean founding-year calendar above and the denomination '20 WARN' below. The legend '大朝鮮 開國四百九十五年' (Great Joseon, founded 495 years ago) arcs around the upper field, while '이십원 20 WARN' appears in the lower field. The design reflects the distinctive late Joseon imperial coinage style, with finely rendered dragon motifs in high relief. |
