| Obverse description | The obverse features the emblem of the Republic of Korea at center — a circular design incorporating the taeguk symbol surrounded by a stylized floral rosette and a ribbon inscribed in Hangul — set within a crescent-shaped decorative arc. Below the emblem, a arrangement of hibiscus syriacus (mugunghwa, the national flower of Korea) blooms in high relief, with detailed petals and foliage filling the lower field. The Hangul legend reading '제 24회 서울 올림픽대회' (The 24th Olympic Games Seoul) arcs along the upper periphery, while '한국은행 1987 오천원' (Bank of Korea 1987 Five Thousand Won) is inscribed along the lower border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dynamic figure of a young woman in traditional Korean hanbok dress riding a ceremonial swing (geune), a popular folk pastime celebrated during the Dano festival. Her flowing robes billow dramatically as she arcs through the air, rendered in finely detailed high relief against a polished field. To the lower left, the official emblem of the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games — comprising the stylized taeguk motif above the Olympic rings — is struck in the field. The circumferential legend 'XXIV OLYMPIAD SEOUL 1988' arcs along the upper border, with the denomination '5000 WON' inscribed at the base. |
