| Obverse description | Central portrait vignette of Shim Saimdang (1504–1551), the celebrated Joseon-era scholar, poet, and artist, rendered in a formal representational style against a polychrome underprint derived from the Chochungdo folding screen (National Treasure No. 595), an embroidered composition of plants and insects. Denomination and issuing authority inscribed in Hangul across the upper field, with intricate guilloche patterning throughout the background. The note is printed in warm tones of yellow and pale green with intaglio detailing on the portrait. |
