About this banknote
The Bank of Joseon was responsible for issuing the South Korean 5 won banknote in 1949. This series was introduced following the establishment of the South Korean government in 1948, as part of efforts to stabilize the country's currency after Japanese occupation.
The front side of the note features intricate designs with the numeral "5" prominently displayed, along with an architectural depiction inside an oval frame. The back side showcases an image of a grand building with elaborate ornamental details framing the scene. The note is catalogued as Pick number 1 and is primarily colored in purple and black.
