Current Series
The South Korean Won (KRW) is the official currency of the Republic of Korea, issued by the Bank of Korea.
The modern series highlights influential scholars, cultural icons, and national achievements, paired with detailed illustrations of Korean heritage sites, scientific instruments, and traditional artwork.
Current notes feature advanced security elements, vibrant colour schemes, and durable materials designed for long‑term circulation in Korea’s varied climate.
These designs remain the primary legal tender across the country and are widely recognised throughout East Asia.

Withdrawn Currency
Before the introduction of the current enhanced‑security series, South Korea issued several earlier generations of Won banknotes.
These withdrawn notes include classic paper issues, older portraits, traditional engraving styles, and designs reflecting Korea’s rapid economic and cultural transformation throughout the late 20th century.
Earlier series featured different themes, older security features, and layouts that were gradually replaced as the Bank of Korea modernised the currency.
Although no longer used in everyday transactions, earlier South Korean Won notes still appear in stored belongings, travel documents, and long‑kept personal items.
At Thecurrencycounter.co.uk, we accept a wide range of outdated South Korean Won notes, including early paper issues, transitional designs, and denominations no longer seen in circulation.
If your specific note isn’t listed on our site, you’re welcome to get in touch — we may still be able to help.
