| Obverse description | The state arms of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea occupy the central field, depicting a hydroelectric power station and pylon beneath a radiant star, flanked by sheaves of rice bound with a ribbon, and a scroll bearing the country name in Hangul script. The circular legend in Hangul reading the full name of the Central Bank of the DPRK runs along the upper periphery, while the date 2002 appears to the lower left of the arms. The denomination '1 원' (1 Won) is inscribed in large characters at the bottom of the field, with the Latin legend 'DPR KOREA' immediately above it. |
