| Obverse description | A naturalistically rendered Manchurian crane (red-crowned crane, Grus japonensis) depicted in full flight occupies the central field, its wings fully extended and plumage rendered in fine relief detail. The bird faces right with neck and legs outstretched in a dynamic soaring posture. Below the crane, the denomination legend in Hangul script reading '오백원' (five hundred won) is inscribed across the lower field in bold characters. The design is set against a plain, unadorned field with no border legend. |
