| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea occupies the central field, depicting a hydroelectric dam and power station set against a mountain landscape, framed by sheaves of rice tied with a ribbon bearing the state name in Hangul script, surmounted by a five-pointed star radiating rays above. The circular legend reading '조선민주주의인민공화국중앙은행' (Central Bank of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea) runs along the outer rim in Hangul. The date '2002' appears in the exergue below the arms. |

| Reverse description | A naturalistic depiction of a Mamushi pit viper (Gloydius blomhoffii) in high relief occupies the central field, its sinuous body coiled and overlapping in an S-shaped composition with the head raised at the upper right. The denomination '1/2' in Arabic numerals and '전' in Hangul script appear to the lower right of the serpent, identifying the face value. The field is otherwise plain with a milled border. |
