Front: This image shows the reverse of a South Korea 1000 Won banknote featuring Dosan Seowon, a Confucian academy founded in 1574 in Andong to honor the scholar Yi Hwang (Toegye). The academy is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and represents one of the most important centers of Neo-Confucian education during the Joseon Dynasty. The detailed engraving shows the traditional Korean architecture with multiple pavilions set among trees on a hillside.

Back: This image shows the obverse of a Spain 100 Pesetas banknote dated 17 November 1970, featuring Manuel de Falla (1876-1946), one of Spain's greatest composers. De Falla is renowned for works including 'Nights in the Gardens of Spain,' 'The Three-Cornered Hat,' and 'El amor brujo.' He lived in exile in Argentina from 1939 until his death. The note bears three signatures: El Gobernador, El Interventor, and El Cajero.

The story

Background & history

MISMATCHED PAIR: These images are from two completely different banknotes from different countries. Image 1 (labeled 'front') is actually the REVERSE of a South Korean 1000 Won note from the 1983-2002 series (P-47). Image 2 (labeled 'back') is actually the OBVERSE of a Spanish 100 Pesetas note dated 1970 (P-152a). The Spanish peseta was replaced by the Euro in 2002. The Korean note belongs to the Bank of Korea's third series of the current won (redenominated in 1962). These notes cannot be catalogued together as a single item.
