The Na Type 50 Won was first issued on January 15, 1983 as part of the redesign of South Korean circulation coinage.
The denomination retained the familiar rice-plant motif and the same basic physical specifications as the earlier Ga Type, while the arrangement and presentation of the inscriptions and denomination were revised.
