The denomination numeral '5' appears in a circular guilloche medallion at upper right, with the Korean denomination in vertical lettering at left. A red circular Bank of Korea seal is applied to the right side, and the serial number is printed in red at lower left. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is executed entirely in purple-violet intaglio, centred on a large guilloche panel framing the bold numeral '5' above the inscription 'WON' in a cartouche. Symmetrical floral rosette vignettes flank the central motif on either side, and ornate corner pieces with interlocking guilloche frames surround the composition. The issuer's name is inscribed across the top in a dark banner. |
