This edition concerns a historical court, not the current constitutional order of either South or North Korea. Joseon was founded in 1392; the Korean Empire was proclaimed in 1897. The year 1910 ends the period of sovereign monarchy on this route.
The golden plum blossom is original artwork inspired by imperial family objects in the National Palace Museum of Korea. It is not a reconstruction of a state seal. Celadon and coral are editorial colours, not a claimed official dynastic palette.
The Polish–Korean cultural bridge concerns present-day relations with the Republic of Korea. It invites shared cultural discovery without suggesting embassy patronage or a historical alliance between the two courts.
