    1. Windowed Security Thread

    ‘ㅍ’ and ‘ㅊ’, the consonants of the Korean alphabet symbolizing Pyeongchang, are arranged in an alternating pattern.

    * The width of their windowed security thread is wider than that on the 50,000 banknote (4 → 5㎜).

  • Hologram

    2. Hologram

    The consonants and vowels of the Korean alphabet forming “Ha-na-doen-yul-jung”, the Korean word for the slogan “Passion, Connected”, are embodied as snowflakes.

  • Watermark and Special Press and Soldering(SPAS)

    3. Watermark and Special Press and Soldering(SPAS)

    The watermark image is the ‘PyeongChang Olympic Stadium’, and Special Press and Soldering (SPAS) is applied to the part of the watermark image.

  • 4. Intaglio Printing

    The banknote adopts intaglio printing, which creates a granular texture that can be felt when touching the speed skaters, letters, numbers, etc*.

    * Intaglio printing is also adopted on the tiger and the letters and numbers on the reverse.

  • Intaglio Latent Image

    Depending on the viewing angle, the Korean consonants ‘ㅍ’ and ‘ㅊ’, the acronyms for PyeongChang in Korean, are alternately visible when the note is tilted.

  • Tactile mark for the Vision-Impaired

    6. Tactile mark for the Vision-Impaired

    To help the visually challenged to distinguish between different banknote denominations, the three stripe pattern (pattern) is embedded twice on the middle of the left and right parts of the note's obverse.

  • Novel Numbering

    7. Novel Numbering

    The sizes of the numbers and letters in the serial number increase gradually from left to right.

  • Color-Shifting Ink

    8. Color-Shifting Ink

    Because of special ink, the color of the face value number (‘2000’) on the right side of the note's reverse changes from ‘gold’ to ‘green’ depending on the viewing angle.

  • 9. Micro Lettering

    Olympics-related micro lettering such as ‘PyeongChang2018’ which can only be discerned with a magnifying glass are employed on the areas of the obverse and reverse of the banknote.
