| Description | ||||
| With the adjustment in the postal rates effective as of January 15, 2002, new definitives will be issued as follows: 160-won definitives for non-priority postcards (under 5g), 210-won definitives for non-priority mail (under 50g), 280-won definitives for nonstandard non-priority mail, 1,290-won definitives for registered mail (under 25g) and 1,310-won definitives for registered mail (under 50g). The basic 190-won definitives for non-priority mail (under 25g) now in use will continue to be used.
The 1,290-won definitives feature the roof-end tile of the kylin design. Roof-end tile refers to the roofing tile placed on the edge of the eaves. This roof-end tile from the Unified Silla Period takes the shape of a powerfully winged kylin with its tail raised head turned to the side. (Displayed at the Gyeongju National Museum). |
