| Obverse description | The national arms of South Korea — the taeguk symbol encircled by a floral wreath and surmounted by five decorative elements — is depicted centrally within a circular frame at the upper field, with the inscription '대한민국' (Republic of Korea) on a banner below the arms. A spray of hibiscus syriacus (mugunghwa), the national flower of South Korea, fills the lower portion of the field in high relief. A circular Korean-script legend surrounds the upper rim, while the date 1987 and the denomination in Korean characters appear along the lower rim. |

| Reverse description | At centre, a stylised figure of a horse and rider rendered in the manner of a traditional Korean ceramic sculpture (reminiscent of Silla dynasty earthenware) occupies the central field. The rider, depicted in ancient Korean court attire, is seated upon a stocky, stylised horse shown in profile facing left. To the lower left, the Seoul 1988 Olympic Games emblem — comprising the official Samtaeguk spiral logo above the five Olympic rings — appears in the field. The legend 'XXIV OLYMPIAD SEOUL 1988' arcs around the upper rim in Latin characters, and the denomination '50000 WON' is inscribed along the lower rim. |
