The design of the 500 won coin is a crane flying towards the sky. The one pictured is dated 2016. As the highest denomination coin, it stands at the top of the ladder for physical currency. In an era where cards and mobile phones dominate daily life, denominations higher than this white disk belong to the realm of paper and data.
