Obverse description The National Coat of Arms of South Korea — featuring the taeguk symbol encircled by a stylized hibiscus blossom and surmounted by five-pointed stars — occupies the upper field, with the inscription 대한민국 (Republic of Korea) on a ribbon below the emblem. A decorative spray of hibiscus syriacus (Rose of Sharon) flowers and buds, rendered in fine relief, fills the lower portion of the field. The circular legend in Hangul script reads around the periphery, with the date 1987 and the denomination 오천원 (Five Thousand Won) inscribed in the lower field.
