<p>[QUOTE="mlov43, post: 2721030, member: 16729"]The image on the 5,000 Won silver commemorative coin was derived from a tomb mural depicting a hunting scene that was painted on the wall of a mid-4th century burial chamber that's located near Ji'an city in China's Jilin province, immediately next to its present-day border with North Korea. The image comes from a tomb known as the "Dancers Tomb" (in Korean: <i>muyong</i>), and is therefore referred to as the the Muyong mounted archer. The hunting scene from which this image derives is regarded as a masterpiece, and is one of the few remnants that give insights into the culture of the ancient Korean/northeast-Chinese Goguryeo dynasty.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
