The National Seal of the Republic of Korea (Korean: 대한민국의 국새) is a governmental seal used for purposes of state in South Korea.[1][2] The seal is carved with characters called injang.[1]
Since the late 20th century the seal's design consists of South Korea's official name written in Korean characters inside of a square; during the 20th century Chinese characters were used.
History
Following the establishment of the South Korean state in August 1948, its government adopted in May 1949 a new state seal, or guksae (Korean: 국새; 國璽). It is used in promulgation of constitution, designation of cabinet members and ambassadors, conference of national orders and important diplomatic documents.[3]
The seal's design has been modified multiple times over the years. The first version of the seal, used until the early 1960s, used Hanja characters.[3] In the late 20th century, the lettering was changed to use only Korean characters.[3]
The current seal is the fifth version and was designed in September 2011, being adopted in October 2011.[3]
