This coin was selected because the coin's reverse side shows an image of the Dabotap pagoda in Gyeongju's famous temple Bulguksa.

The agreement was terminated in 2021. Despite this, the seller filed a trademark for the bread under a slightly different brand name and continued operating. Concurrently, numerous copycat sellers emerged in the city. A court ruling then prohibited the seller from using the name "10 won bread"; the company circumvented this by using the name "Gyeongju 10 won bread". Around 2022 and 2023, the South Korean Bank of Korea asked the makers of 10 won bread to change the design of the bread in order to abide by laws that prevent the for-profit use of the coin's design.Seung-joon Lee 2023-06-21 ko:윤 대통령도 먹었던 경주 '십원빵', 디자인 바뀐다...왜 https://www.hani.co.kr/arti/society/society_general/1096973.html 2025-01-08 The Hankyoreh ko 2023-06-22 https://web.archive.org/web/20230622165049/https://www.hani.co.kr/arti/society/society_general/1096973.html live Many shop owners were reportedly reluctant to abide by the request.
