| Obverse description | Central device depicting the National Coat of Arms of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, featuring Mount Paektu with a hydroelectric dam in the foreground, framed by sheaves of rice tied with a ribbon at the base, and a five-pointed star radiating rays above the mountain peak. The circular legend 조선민주주의인민공화국 (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) runs along the outer rim in Hangul. The date 1959 appears in the exergue below the coat of arms. |

| Reverse description | Large numeral '1' dominates the central field, with the Hangul denomination 전 (Chon) inscribed directly below. A five-pointed star appears to the left of the numeral. The entire design is framed by a continuous geometric meander (key-fret) border running around the inner edge of the coin, lending a distinctly socialist-era decorative character to the composition. |
