Obverse description Central field bears the State Emblem of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, depicting a hydroelectric power station below a radiant star, framed by sheaves of rice bound with a ribbon, all set within an oval cartouche. The national name in Hangul script, 조선민주주의인민공화국, arcs along the upper periphery. At the base of the coin, flanked by decorative foliate sprays, appears the date '2001' above the denomination '1 원' (1 Won).

Reverse description Central field depicts an emotional reunion scene of two figures — an elderly woman and a middle-aged man — embracing tenderly, rendered in raised relief in a naturalistic style, symbolising the reunion of separated families across the divided Korean peninsula. A Hangul legend arcs around the upper portion of the field reading '남 북 흩어진 가족 친척 평양 상봉', referencing the historic Pyongyang reunion of separated families and relatives from North and South Korea. The date range '1945 — 2000' appears in the lower exergue, commemorating the fifty-five years of division since the end of World War II.
