| Reverse description | The reverse presents a composed scene within a raised inner circle: a three-quarter facing bust of Queen Seondeok (Sunduk) of the Silla Dynasty occupies the right foreground, her effigy adorned with an elaborate traditional Korean crown featuring tall branched ornaments and a beaded necklace, her hair braided. To the left in the middle ground stands a detailed rendering of a traditional Korean palace or temple complex with multi-tiered tiled roofs set upon a stone platform, evoking Silla-era architecture. The dates 632 AD 647, denoting the queen's reign, appear in the lower field within the circle. The circumferential legend REPUBLIC OF KOREA arcs along the upper border, while QUEEN SUNDUK - SILLA DYNASTY - is inscribed along the lower border outside the inner circle. |
