| Obverse description | The Republic of Korea national coat of arms, featuring the Taeguk symbol within a stylized hibiscus (Mugunghwa) rosette, is prominently displayed in the upper central field, with a ribbon inscribed in Hangul reading '대한민국' (Republic of Korea) beneath it. A decorative floral spray of hibiscus blossoms and foliage fills the lower portion of the field in high relief. The surrounding legend, rendered in Hangul along the periphery, reads '제 24회 서울 올림픽대회' (The 24th Olympic Games Seoul) to the upper left and '한국은행 오천원' (Bank of Korea Five Thousand Won) to the lower right, with the date '1988' appearing at the bottom. |

| Reverse description | Two boys dressed in traditional Korean hanbok garments are depicted in the central field engaged in the folk game of top spinning (paengi-chigi): one child kneels in the foreground setting a top upon the ground, while the second stands behind him in a dynamic pose, whip raised aloft to strike and spin the top. A small spinning top is visible between them on the ground. To the upper left, the official emblem of the 1988 Seoul Olympics — comprising the stylised Samtaeguk symbol above the five Olympic rings — appears in the field. The circumferential legend reads 'XXIV OLYMPIAD SEOUL 1988' along the upper border, with the denomination '5000 WON' inscribed along the lower border. |
