Recently, the Bank of Korea (BOK) revealed a sample of the new 50,000 won bank note to the public. On the new bill, there is a picture of Shin Saimdang (1504-1551). She is one of the most famous female characters in Korean history.
Shin Saimdang is well-known as a wise mother and good wife. That’s why she was picked as the first woman to be printed on a Korean note. She was the famous artist in the Joseon Dynasty. She was also the mother of a great scholar named Yulgok. His image is on the 5,000 won bill.
The size of the new bill will be longer than the 10,000 won bill. The color of the bill is golden yellow. Shin Saimdang’s face and her famous paintings are drawn on the front of the bill. The other side of the bill is decorated with two artworks from mid-Joseon. The new 50,000 won bill will be used from June. It is going to be the bill with the highest unit value.
And it is around 1,700 in Philippine peso.
